As she grows up, pressure mounts on him to perform her marriage. Fearing that the wealth he had acquired after her arrival may disappear if she leaves him, he refuses to get her married and keeps her in a solitary tower in a forest.
Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be.
