It's all inescapably English, and, more than that, inescapably the music of London plucked from the height of the British rock'n'roll movement – the perfect underscore for Estella Miller's transformation into Cruella de Vil. Also on the soundtrack are some of the British Invasion's major hits from famous bands such as The Zombies, The Rolling Stones, and The Animals. The soundtrack is able to create a strong sense of time and place, despite (or because of) its variety – centering around British beat music of the 1960s for which The Beatles are known. More than 30 sings released throughout the 1960s and '70s feature in Cruella, and they range from classic funk to feminist power ballads.

The music backing Estella's transformation is the '70s punk that laid the foundation for heavy metal and grunge. The movie finds its setting during the 1970s punk rock movement in London, and Cruella finds her footing in the city as an aspiring fashion designer who is at war with Britain's upper class – and, in particular, with Emma Thompson's Baroness von Hellman, an established designer who shares a history with Cruella's family. While it may cause controversy that Disney has decided to turn all of its animated properties into live-action movies, this film certainly achieves a lot by the selection of music that soundtracks it.Īcting as a prequel to the classic animated 101 Dalmations, Cruella shows the childhood of Estella, a precocious girl who has a liking for dogs, and how she grows up to become the icon of the title. Emma Stone as Cruella herself puts in an incredible performance, which is perfectly accompanied by the compelling blend of rock, R&B, pop, and punk music that underscored the character's narrative and key plot points. The hit movie Cruella features a wonderful soundtrack compiling a range of hit 1960s and '70s British rock'n'roll, but the officially released soundtrack for the movie doesn't include all the music that's featured in the movie.
