SKETCHED - POP Disney N° 1647 - Cruella De Vil

Beware, Cruella de Vil is on the hunt for her next fur coat and she’s set her sights on your collection, released by Funko as part of its Pop! Disney, officially licensed by Disney. Made entirely from PVC, this unique collector’s item is part of the special ‘Sketched’ range. It features an exclusive artistic graphic design that perfectly creates the illusion that this fashion-forward villain has leapt straight out of an animator’s sketchbook. An essential centrepiece to add a touch of eccentricity, elegance and nostalgia to your display dedicated to the great classics of animation.

Cruella de Vil is one of the most famous, cruel and eccentric villains in the history of world cinema, introduced in the animated masterpiece *101 Dalmatians* (One Hundred and One Dalmatians), released in 1961 by Walt Disney Studios. Obsessed with fashion, luxury and extravagant furs, this wealthy London heiress has no qualms about recruiting the crooks Jasper and Horace to kidnap her friends’ Dalmatian puppies in order to create a unique black-and-white spotted coat. This ‘Sketched’ version pays a vibrant tribute to the film’s revolutionary visual style. It was the very first time that the Walt Disney animation team had used the xerography technique, which allowed the artists’ dynamic, raw pencil lines to be transferred directly onto the transparent celluloid, giving Cruella her highly expressive and angular graphic design.
