Yeah, PigSoldier, but don't most villains fall into the category of being a <i>politically correct</i> villain? Like think about it in context. Most archetypical (read: politically correct) Disney animated villains are dark-colored (think the Evil Queen, Maleficent, even the latest one, Yzma...), have diabolical, usually world-encompassing plans like to be the queen or king or even rule the world. All Cruella wanted was another fur coat. Also, you've gotta think about what was PC at the <i>time</i>. After all, the definition of 'politically' changes just about every five years, usually. In 1960, most archetypical women were percieved to fall into the category of a Snow White or Sleeping Beauty-type girl. This was before the filmic version of a 'liberated woman', to quote '60s vernacular, like Mulan or Pocahontas. See, Snow White may not be PC to some because she's like the <i>old</i> kind of female heroine who has to get rescued at the end of the movie by Prince Charming. Lately, we see more realistic (read: politically correct) girl characters who <i>rescue</i> eh...Prince Charming, thus being politically correct in this day and age. Who knows? Maybe Cruella de Vil would have been the hero if 101 Dalmatians were made hundreds of years ago. So thinking from the standpoint of when 101 was made 41 years ago, Cruella is still (to me, at least...) the most politically incorrect Disney character.
