Hulu continues its Summer releases with The Princess. This film follows the princess (yes, she is unnamed) as she attempts to escape her tower, refusing to be wed to a cruel man vying for the throne. Action-packed and snarky, this is a decently fun film if you need a fighting fix.

Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be.
