* EvilOldFolks: She's signficantly older in the ''101 Dalmatian Street'' series which takes place in the modern era. And putting it lightly, she makes ''[[{{WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove}} Yzma]]'' look more attractive in comparison.



* LaserGuidedKarma: In the season finale of ''101 Dalmatian Street'', she intends to have the puppies killed in an elaborate skinning machine. In the climax, [[spoiler: she ends up going through the process after being knocked closely to the machine by Hunter, whom she had abused and mistreated throughout the season. And she would have died if Dylan and Delilah hadn't rushed in to save her]].



* MisplacedAccent: She doesn't have her British accent in the new TV series.



* NightmareFace: Especially during the chase scene in the film - which even provides the page image on the NightmareFuel page. The animated series has a few moments as well.

And this time, intends to also kill the parents for matching luggage, after tying them up to witness their children being killed in a brutal skinning machine.

->'''Anita voiced by''': Lisa Davis (''101 Dalmatians''), Kath Soucie (currently)

A married couple who are the loving owners of the dalmatians.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: The two were just "Mr. and Mrs. Dearly" in the book. Dodie Smith wrote Walt Disney about her unhappiness at this name change, and perhaps this was why their surname was changed back to "Dearly" for the live-action remake and the TV series.
* AdultFear: The puppies being taken. Anita and Roger feel it just as bad as Perdita and Pongo.
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''oger '''R'''adcliffe.
* {{Angrish}}: When Cruella comes to claim the puppies, Roger starts stuttering in anger.
* DeadpanSnarker: Roger is often like this, with Cruella.
--> '''Cruella''': [[MaliciousMisnaming Rumpert]], My Boy! Did I wake you?
--> '''Roger''': No, I had to get up to answer the door. Now, is there something you want, or did you drop by to remind me that that Halloween's coming?
* DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: Roger is rarely seen without his pipe in the original film.
* ExtremeDoormat: Anita in the original animated film. Even if she was trying to be nice, she let Cruella go on and insult her house and husband. At least she put her foot down in the live-action adaptation. Even more so in the animated series, where she works in Cruella's designer firm despite her obviously scheming and abusive manner.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: In contrast to Cruella's cigarette holder, Roger smokes a pipe.
* HappilyMarried: They marry at the start of the film and are in a good marriage.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Anita is far too reluctant to believe that Cruella could be the monster Roger calls her out as when the puppies are kidnapped in the first film, even after her violent outburst when they flat out refused to sell them to her. Even more so in the animated series where she's now ''working for Cruella''. Luckily for everyone Roger is not nearly as oblivious.
* LargeHam: Naturally, considering Roger is the one who came up with "Cruella de Vil".
* LoveAtFirstSight: Not so much - though it came eventually.
* MarriedToTheJob: Roger, before meeting Anita. According to Pongo, he was "a musician of sorts" and "married to his work".
* MeetCute: Arranged by Pongo, how Anita meets Roger.
* NiceGuy: Both of them are kind, loving people.
* NoSocialSkills: Roger, at least where Anita is concerned. Pongo even lampshades how in the park he'll just sit and smoke a pipe, ignoring the beautiful lady with her spotted dog, but Roger is enough of a gentleman to help her out of the pond where they both fall and offer his coat and handkerchief.
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Roger adamantly refuses to sell the puppies to Cruella, no matter how much she offers, since he can tell what kind of person she really is.

Cruella De Vil is the main antagonist of ''101 Dalmatians'' franchise. She is a wealthy, fashion-obsessed heiress who wishes to use the skins of 99 Dalmatian puppies for a fur coat.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the cartoon, she looks like [[http://www.spletnik.ru/img/__post/22/d2752709b28c_224508e91e123bc9d01d6abc51933386_654.jpg this]], but in the special "Disney Villains Designer Collection", she looks like [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/nicolemdav/33236098/915500/915500_original.jpg this]]. You know what? Forget dalmatians.
* AdaptationalUgliness:
** In the movie, Cruella is a wild-haired harridan with a corpse-like face; in the original novel's illustrations, she's depicted as an elegant cold-hearted beauty.
** In the TV series, she looks [[FanDisservice even]] [[{{Gonk}} worse]] than in the movie.
* AdaptationNameChange: An extremely subtle one; her surname is spelled "de Vil" (with a lowercase 'd') in the novels while Disney capitalizes the 'D' in the franchise.
* AxCrazy: She's a MoodSwinger and absolutely psychotic.
* BadBoss: To Jasper and Horace. She verbally abuses them almost constantly until Jasper has finally had it and gives her a BigShutUp.
* BigBad: The main villain of the ''101 Dalmatians'' franchise.
* BigBadEnsemble: With Lil' Lightning in the sequel.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Exaggerated. Right from the start, it's obvious that Cruella is a twisted lady, even when she seems to be at least good terms with Anita while acting obnoxiously stuck-up. There's also the fact that she's literally ''covered'' in animal clothing.
* TheChewToy: For all her villainy in the series, Cruella is also put through the wringer quite a bit to balance things out.
* CruellaToAnimals: The TropeNamer, though her cruelty to animals is downplayed in the Disney adaptations as compared to the original book.
* TheDreaded: The dogs are understandably terrified of her as are her henchmen, and even Anita seems to find her intimidating.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: ''Big time.'' Both the animation and the live-action. Horace and Jasper go a little crazy at the end as well.
* EvilIsHammy: Cruella's habit of ChewingTheScenery is one of the most fondly-remembered things about the movie. Specially as played by Glenn Close in the Live-Action Adaptation.
* EvilIsPetty: Her entire motivation for kidnapping nearly a hundred puppies is to make fur coats out of their exceptionally rare fur, even though Jasper points out that they won't be able to get very many out of them when they're not fully grown yet. This also applies to her kidnapping Roger and Anita's puppies--considering Cruella already had 84 other dalmatian puppies, she did it purely as revenge for Roger standing up to her and refusing to sell their puppies.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Her attempts at skinning the puppies and buying Dearly Farm.
* FalseFriend: Cruella was ''apparently'' one of Anita's old school chums - Heaven knows why, since she's an absolute terror even when she's trying to be ''friendly.'' Roger immediately takes a disliking to her and quickly (and correctly) assumes that she kidnapped the puppies.
* FanDisservice: PlayedForLaughs in the animated series.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Nearly parodied--her fake kindness is almost as foul as her real demeanor.
* FurAndLoathing: Cruella and her fur coat provide the page image.
* {{Gonk}}: In the TV series, justified in that it serves as an indicator of her age and [[ItsAllAboutMe inflated vanity.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Cruella's cigarette with holder.
* HairTriggerTemper: Her temper is terrible. She is easily enraged and infuriated, and yells all the time.
* {{Jerkass}}: When you get right down to it, Cruella really has no redeeming qualities and is just generally mean and unpleasant.
* KnightOfCerebus: The film is a sweet romantic comedy before Cruella rolls in. She is, however, a light Knight early on due to her hamminess and the classic TheVillainSucksSong that Roger's playing in the attic.
* LaughablyEvil: As ruthless as she and her goons are in stealing (and attempted murder of) the puppies, their overblown whimsy and bumbling make up a lot of the movie's humor.
* LeanAndMean: She's a slender, almost skeletal villain with a skeletal face.
* LightIsNotGood: Cruella dresses in a light colored fur coat, but she is the villain.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: "[[NoteToSelf Memo to myself...]]" in the TV series.
* MeaningfulName: Perhaps the supreme example, her name is clearly a mutation of "Cruel Devil".
* MoodSwinger: Can snap from [[FauxAffablyEvil deceptively friendly]] to unsettlingly cheerful (complete with wild laughter) to terrifying, maniacal rage within the span of a few seconds. In both the 1961 and 1996 films her HairTriggerTemper can kick in within seconds of [[ItsAllAboutMe things not going her way,]] which leads to her flying through moods faster than anything.
* MulticoloredHair: Cruella has hair that's half black and half white. According to some, this symbolizes that she's TwoFaced.
* NameToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A [[ExaggeratedTrope fairly unsubtle]] example. Remove 2 letters and a space, and her name becomes the phrase "cruel devil".
* NearVillainVictory: She came very close to capturing the dalmatians at the end of the first film--if Jasper and Horace hadn't accidentally lost control of their van and T-Boned Cruella's car, there's no way the dogs could have escaped her. Her car was hanging right off the back of the truck they were on.
* NightmareFace: Especially during the chase scene in the film, though the animated series has a few moments as well.
* NotGoodWithRejection: When Roger refuses to sell her the puppies, she throws a tantrum and swears revenge.
* ObviouslyEvil: "Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil, if she doesn't scare you no evil thing will..."
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: The entire interaction between her and Anita is this from her end.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: After getting the body of her car shaved off on a bush, her irises and eventually her whole eyes turn devilish-red as she makes her last attempt to derail the moving van and recapture/kill the dalmatians.
* RichBitch: She is an intimidating and very wealthy woman.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Commonly misspelled as "de Ville".
* TheSociopath: Cruella is shallow, petty and selfish to the point she tries to buy and eventually steals a bunch of puppies - from her supposed "best friend" no less - so she can skin them and make coats out of their hides. She has no problem lying about masterminding the crime and at one point threatens to call the police on Jasper and Horace and put the full blame of the crime on them if they don't do the job quickly. As the film nears its end, she goes full AxCrazy mode, becoming physically abusive with Jaspar and Horace, [[HairTriggerTemper exploding with rage at the drop of a hat]], and [[DrivesLikeCrazy driving like a maniac]] to the point she tries to ''crash a truck'' to get to the puppies (showing she has as little regard for human life as animal life). ConsummateLiar? LackOfEmpathy? Criminal and devious? Impulsive and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]]? Cruella ticks all the boxes.
* VillainDecay: In the TV series, her only goal is to get the Dearlys off the farm because it's her land, which is ''nothing'' compared to how she wants to kill the puppies and make them into a fur coat in the other versions of the franchise. This however, seems to be the result of MoralGuardians not wanting a vicious puppy killer on a Saturday Morning cartoon.
* VillainousBreakdown: During the climactic ChaseScene. This is especially acute after she accidentally drives her car into a ditch and, in driving it out, accidentally trashes it on some thorny brush. By now, she is plenty pissed off, and it's become clear that it's the dalmatians or her — and she doesn't care who gets in her way. She has yet another one after Jasper T-bones her, wrecking both their vehicles and her dreams of having a dalmatian coat.
%%* VillainousCheekbones
* TheVillainSucksSong: "Cruella De Vil".
* YoungerThanTheyLook: She's an old schoolmate of Anita's, but she looks old enough to be Anita's mother. [[FridgeBrilliance Might be all those cigarettes.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"The little dears."'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Martha Wentworth (''101 Dalmatians''), Mary MacLeod (''Patch's London Adventure'' 2003 sequel), Charlotte Rae (''101 Dalmatians'' TV series), Russi Taylor (unknown)

Nanny's hired by Roger and Anita Radcliffe as a cook-and-housekeeper, although the Radcliffes seem to see her more as a member of the family than a servant. Like her employers, she deeply loves the dalmatians.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: She is never called anything but "Nanny" in the original movie, but spin-off and behind-the-cenes material has revealed that her full name is "Nanny Cook."
* BattleButler: As Jasper and Horace learn the hard way.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is not afraid to stand up to Cruella, and put up quite a struggle with Horace and Jasper before they made off with the puppies.
* CompositeCharacter: In the book there are ''two'' Nannies, Nanny Cook and Nanny Butler, who are the family's cook and butler, respectively. The movie's Nanny combines traits of the two.
* DamselOutOfDistress: With frying pan in hand "Now let those puppies go before I knock the ''stupid'' out of both of you!"
%%* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep
* {{Expy}}: Arguably a far, far nicer one of [[Disney/LadyAndTheTramp Aunt Sarah]].
%%* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep
* JumpScare: Gives Roger and Pongo one when she announces that THE PUPPIES ARE HERE!!!
* NiceGirl: Motherly, sweet, protective, loyal, kind, and understanding. Practically Canine, in Pongo's Eyes?
* UndyingLoyalty: To Roger and Anita.

[[caption-width-right:350: Jasper: "Ah, shut up, you idiot!" Horace: "Ah, I still don't like it, Jasper!"]]
-> '''Horace voiced by:''' Frederick Worlock (''101 Dalmatians''); Creator/JeffBennett (since 1997)
-> '''Jasper voiced by:''' J. Pat o'Malley (''101 Dalmatians''); Creator/MauriceLaMarche (since 1997)

Jasper and Horace are Cruella De Vil's bumbling henchmen and the secondary antagonists in the first ''101 Dalmatians'' film.
----
* BaldOfEvil: Both are bald and act as antagonists.
* BigOlEyebrows: They both have bushy eye brows.
* BumblingSidekick: Two incompetent goons for Cruella.
* ButtMonkey: Horace in particular gets slapped around by Jasper as well as Cruella. And of course neither of them are any real match for the dogs.
* CatchPhrase: For Horace: "I don't like it" and "I've been thinking".
* CoDragons: Both work under the BigBad.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Horace figures that maybe the dogs think like humans can. This is true, but is passed up by Jasper.
* FatAndSkinny: [[LeanAndMean Jasper]] and [[FatBastard Horace]]
* FatIdiot: Horace, moreso in the animated series.
* HeelFaceTurn: In the sequel of 1961 movie, both give up their criminal ways and open up a dress store as both President and Vice-President.
* NiceHat: Both of them wear caps.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: They may be bumbling goons, but they can be just as cruel as Cruella when pushed. Jasper in particular seems to enjoy bullying Nanny, Sgt. Tibbs and the puppies. During the final chase, Jasper tries to shove the truck the puppies are hiding on over a cliff, driver and all, cackling while he does it. Any reluctance to kill the puppies is usually due to laziness, rather than sympathy.
* RunningGag: Horace says something stupid (or [[DumbassHasAPoint maybe not]]) and Jasper smacks him on the noggin.
* ShipTease: Horace with Nanny in the animated series.
* SmartJerkAndNiceMoron: Jasper is the tall, lanky one, who takes the lead and seems to enjoy being a criminal. Horace is the short, hefty one that follows Jasper because he can't think of anything better to do.
* TerribleTrio: They form one with Cruella.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Always seen together, working for Cruella.
* VillainDecay: Suffering it far worse than Cruella in the TV series. Whereas she can still be somewhat menacing, they're just two cartoony goons.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Horace figures that the dogs can think like humans and evade them through tactics like covering their tracks and disguising themselves. Jasper, under the impression that it's [[ThisIsReality Real Life]] and the dogs can't, dismisses his concerns.

[[folder:The Truck Driver]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/badass_2.jpg]]
-> '''Voiced By''': Basil Ruysdael

->"Hey, lady! What in thunder are you tryin' to do?! Crazy women driver..."
-->--The Truck Driver to Cruella during the climax

The Truck Driver is a minor character from the first movie, who works in a Moving Van. While he doesn't even meet any of the protagonists, he indirectly helps them out in the climax when they hitch a ride on his truck as he goes toe to toe with a ''very'' pissed off Cruella.
----
* BadassBystander: This is his role in the film. He's just an ordinary truck driver who just happens to catch the wrath of Cruella's [[DrivesLikeCrazy road rage]] head on, all because the dalmatians are all riding in the back of his moving van, something he isn't aware of.
* TheDeterminator: Despite Cruella's aggressiveness, he fights her off as best as he can to keep her from toppling his van, even when she rams her car head on into the back of his truck, getting it stuck and sending the truck swerving out of control.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: He is unnamed in the film, but according to the "My Side Of The Story" book, Lucky claims his name is Nigel.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: ''Definitely'' has the moral high ground over Cruella, but still, she's not a "crazy woman driver". [[{{Dissimile}} She's crazy, and she just happens to be a woman. And driving.]]
