This summer, Disney released a new take on its classic villain Cruella de Vil. But although I very much enjoyed, its biggest gift to me was inspiring me to go home and re-watch Cruella's original appearance in the 1961 animated classicis all about the extraordinary, but I have to admit, I found the old animated movie much more striking — not because it matched the fast-paced plot twists and jaw-dropping visuals of its 2021 counterpart, but in fact the opposite.
Even though the events of the opening sequence consist mostly of a dog and his owner taking a walk, it's never boring despite how slowly it unfolds. In fact, when I think of some of the most iconic scenes from that era of Disney animated films, the subject matter is fairly commonplace: think of Cinderella cleaning the floor, surrounded by suds, or the Lady and the Tramp kiss scene, where two dogs eat food they find in the back alley of a restaurant.
