101 Dalmations

I've always wondered something about 101 Dalmatians.

Roger writes the song "Cruella de Ville," and it's a big hit. It's also defamatory. It calls Cruella evil, scary, a spider, a vampire bat, etc. Now, in America, were Cruella to sue for defamation, Roger could defend based on truth. Not so in England.

So why didn't Cruella sue? She seems litigious enough.

Hi Cyndie,

I'm an old friend of Jeremy's from college and I seem to have lost his email address. Would you please have him email me today?

Ok, I went to comment on this and how i totally agree, and noticed the other comment. A girl from my freshman year is married to him and I think my sister dated his brother in college. Small world.
Anyway,yes, I totally agree and think it is weird. Some of the Disney movies are a little iffy. The Pink Elephant scene in Dumbo? Wow. Good thing somethings just don't make sense when you are little.
