After their theft of the puppies makes headline news, they immediately call Cruella to back out and offer to settle for just half of what they were promised. After spending an exhausting night searching for the dalmatians all around the country side after they had escaped, Horace declares their intent on giving up before being once again strongarmed by Cruella into continuing their search.

* PunchClockVillain: Neither of them really go out of their way to abuse the puppies unless they're actively making a nuisance of themselves (i.e. barking at them or getting in front of the TV) and it's made pretty clear that the two are only going to skin the puppies because were promised a big pay by Cruella.

* EvilBrit: Becomes this in ''101 Dalmatians: The Series". Due to the show now being set in the US instead of the UK, with Cruella being the ''only'' character to still remain British while everyone else is now American, this version plays this trope painfully straight.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalJobChange: In the original book Mr. Dearly was a financier who was given a small fortune by the government for saving Britain from a recession (twice), in the original movie Mr. Radcliffe is a song writer who earns his fortune from the breakout success of his TheVillainSucksSong, and the live action movie has him work as a video game designer who makes a game based on the events of the film.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: While Anita is pretty close to her original book counterpart in personality, Roger is an almost completely different character. The original Mr. Dearley was a wealthy, stylish gentleman who was "a wizard with finances" and the go-to person for the British government in financial cases. Roger is a struggling songwriter, and anything but wealthy and stylish; he's a bit of a bumbler and has a slight CowardlyLion streak. Of course, he ''has'' kept the original Mr. Dearley's kindness and love of animals in general (and dogs in particular), and is every bit as affectionate and caring towards his dalmatians as his book counterpart.

* {{Ballet}}: Anita's movements in the original animated film (traced from footage of classically-trained ballerina Helene Stanley) imply she's had at least some training when she was younger, which given the implicit December 1958 setting of the film (meaning she would have been a teenager at her oldest around the time ''Film/TheRedShoes'' put ballet lessons in vogue for little girls around England) would not be entirely out of the question.

* {{Jerkass}}: When you get right down to it, Cruella really has no redeeming qualities and is just generally mean and unpleasant. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment has her casually insulting Anita (who she claims is her old friend) by calling her home a "horrid little house" and mocking her husband, whilst putting out her cigarette in her muffin and putting ashes in her tea.
