27
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:18.000

was based on the theatrical mannerisms and distinctive voice of

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.240
actress Tallulah Bankhead. Animator Mark Davis cited her as a

33
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:46.680

The nineteen ninety six live action film One hundred and

44
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:31.400
one Dalmatians and later the twenty twenty one prequel, Cruella
