* Go back and take a good listen to the lyrics of "Cruella De Vil". Roger refers to her as "evil", a "vampire bat", an "inhuman beast", calls upon her to be "locked up and never released", and opines that "the world was such a wholesome place until" she came into it. While none of this is exactly inaccurate, he's still defaming a specific, identifiable living person (after all, neither "Cruella" nor "De Vil" are common names). Isn't he setting himself up for legal retribution from an outraged Cruella, who will forever be associated with a hit song that maliciously insults her from beginning to end?
** While it’s possible that Cruella could try to sue him, her reputation is probably already pretty bad - she was a suspect in the police investigation for the theft of the puppies, which was all over the news, she more often than not DrivesLikeCrazy, which makes her a clear danger to pedestrians and other drivers, and she’s pretty bad at hiding her vile personality when things don’t go ''exactly'' as she wants.
** She could just not feel insulted - if you're literally named Cruella De Vil, you might be a CardCarryingVillain anyway.
* Didn't Pongo get some of the black washed off earlier? Why is he completely black at the end?
** Found another coal-tip to roll around in off-camera, probably.
* The scene where Jasper picks up Tibbs, thinking him to be the bottle of alcohol, doesn't make sense at first since you'd be wondering why he didn't notice it was warm, heavy, and furry. But then, you realise that maybe he was just too drunk to notice.

* Originally, the main pups ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and chicken]]) of the show were going to include Lucky, Cadpig, Rolly, Patch, Penny and Spot. However, Disney thought that having six main characters would be too much, so Patch was DemotedToExtra and Penny was dropped all together. Which raises the question: why is six too much? As around the same time, [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} another Disney show premiered which had six main characters]].
** Because it's easier for young viewers to keep track of six ''humans'', who can wear different outfits, hairstyles, and so on, than a similar number of dogs who differ solely by spot placement and how pudgy they are?

** For bonus horror, the live action remake establishes Anita as a MamaBear who will knock six bells out of anyone who she thinks wants to harm or kidnap her dog. Combine this with the above and what we know about Cruella's and Anita's relationship in the present, the most likely outcome is that Perdita got separated from Anita at some point, and Cruella took the chance to harm her out of sight. Anita only saw the aftermath and became violently protective of Perdita from then on, never knowing the one who hurt her dog was the one she called a friend.

Added a notable thing about the scene where Cruella, Horace, and Jasper are tracking the dogs.



to:

* You could chalk up Cruella's lack of concern for the cold while tracking the puppies with Horace and Jasper to just being as determined to get them as she clearly is, but she's also the one wearing a likely thick and warm fur coat, hat, and with gloves, whereas Horace and Jasper are somewhat bundled up, but probably are not as covered as Cruella was.

to:

* We know that Cruella and Anita are old friends, and Perdita reacts in horror when Cruella comes to visit the flat, hiding under an oven. Considering that she probably is familiar with Cruella, and given what we know about the Devil Woman, what exactly has she done in the past that would get this reaction from Perdita?

* It makes since that Cruella would be Roger's number one suspect after the puppies are stolen. She had tried to buy them several weeks earlier and she was very obviously angry when she was told they weren't for sale.

* One has to wonder if Dipstick's [[TheDitz low intelligence]] might be the result of that flea infestation cutting off a lot of blood to his brain. Then again, a dog having ''that'' many fleas is disturbing in itself.

* Consider the scene where Cruella barges into the Radcliffe's flat just minutes after the puppies were born. It wasn't just good timing on Cruella's part--we can see later on that Jasper and Horace were spying on their flat the whole time. Cruella was outright stalking the Radcliffe's for their pups.
