Save the date, darlings: Disney's Cruella premieres exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar this September
Disappointed that you couldn't watch Cruella on the big screen when it premiered in theatres earlier this year? Fret not, for fans of the highly anticipated live-action prequel will finally be able to see it in Malaysia exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar when it premieres on the streaming platform on September 3.
From her show-stopping fashion to a tragic backstory that will change the way you see one of Disney's most iconic villains, Academy Award-winner Emma Stone's deliciously wicked portrayal of Cruella may have you rooting for the bad guy, or in this case, girl.
Here are three things we love about Disney's Cruella.

Unlike her animated counterpart from the 1961 Disney film 101 Dalmatians (also on Disney+ Hotstar), Stone's Cruella de Vil is less fur-obsessed and driven more by revenge—a trait that will indeed help us see past her cruel penchant for animal-skinning, and into the mind of a woman who will stop at nothing to achieve what she wants.
Fun fact: the original Cruella de Vil of British writer Dodie Smith's 1956 children's book 101 Dalmatians was married to a wealthy furrier and portrayed more as an opportunistic socialite and heiress than a maniacal villain.
