Anyone else notice the animal skin rug on the Witch’s floor? I have a new crack theory that they are doing a mashup of both the Wicked Witch of the West and Cruella DeVille. Aside from that screenshot, here are a few reasons why this could be the case:
1) Both the Wicked Witch and Cruella threatened a dog. To quote the Wicked Witch, “I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog too.” What if Pongo is in a sense Toto, or at least shares a connection with the Witch?
2) One of the articles mentioned that this villainess had her own theme song. While the Witch does have a familiar leitmotif from the film, I’m not sure if that really counts as a song.
3) The specifically cast a British actress, and it’s been reported that she’ll be keeping her accent.
4) At NYCC, Adam and Eddy expressed interest in introducing Cruella on the show.
