What to Watch After Cruella

Beyond the Black Collar: Four Films That Dress Up Rebellion

From the streets of 1970s London to the glittering runways of high fashion, Disney’s Cruella has sparked a craving for stories that blend style, mischief, and a dash of rebellion. To satisfy that appetite, we’ve assembled a quartet of titles that span the spectrum: the freshly released family romp Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, the beloved 80s cult classic Labyrinth, the timeless fashion satire Zoolander, and the blockbuster Barbie, each offering a distinct flavor of the same daring spirit.

Whether you’re drawn to the punk‑rock swagger of Estella’s ascent, the surreal maze of a teenage heroine, the razor‑sharp parody of the fashion industry, or the playful critique of a plastic perfectionist world, these picks deliver a shared promise: bold characters, vibrant visual worlds, and a rebellious heart that will keep fans of Cruella glued to the screen.
