“Cruella” (***) out of four was a breezily done prequel to Disney’s “101 Dalmation” series showing the title character Cruella de Vill (Emma Stone) and how she started in the ’70’s as an up-and-coming fashion designer and punk-rock singer (!) whose various anger at life and rivalry with her narcissistic boss (Emma Stone) turned her into a cruel villain. Director Craig Gillespie works with bounce and lighthearded humor and infuses wall-to-wall great music, and Stone is perfect in the lead, although a little of this does go a long way as film does wear thin after a while. Still overall entertaining and definite fun for “Dalmations” and Disney fans.
