why do we need a movie about a woman whose entire goal is to kill a huge number of puppies in order to make a jacket?

This is the first decent (as opposed to evil

grubbing) reason I've seen. Thanks for a helpful take -
No problem! I mean, it's still evil dollar grubbing. But I think the question isn't why Disney is making it, but why there's an audience for it. And, for reference, the character is inspired by Tallulah Bankhead, an infamously queer (though not evil) actress. It's intentional.

Cruella was queer coded? Huh.

Tallulah Bankhead is part of the inspiration for Cruella, and Bankhead had Oscar Wilde levels of Famous Queer Reputation, which is to say she didn't hide her relationships with either men or women. It made her shorthand for Dangerous Bisexual, in the climate of the time.
