[ Man ] We're all familiar
with the illegal poaching...
of endangered animals
in the wild...
but never before has an animal in
captivity been slaughtered for its pelt.
Animal protection groups
that monitor the international trade...
in game contraband
have further told us...
that a white Siberian tiger
is so rare that the offer...
- of a pelt would surely
draw the attention...
- [ Growling, Barking ]
- of law enforcement agencies.
- [ Whimpering ]
Shortly before dawn this morning...
security staff at London Zoo
discovered the excoriated carcass...
of its prized three-year-old
female Siberian tiger, Sue Ling.
- [ Growling ]
- Police sources have suggested...
that the killing was contracted
by a private collector.
Oh, isn't that horrible?
Who'd do a thing like that?
lf the battle to preserve
endangered species has moved
into the urban zoological park...
we must ask ourselves if
any animal in the world is safe.

[ Sighing ] Another bad day
for the animal kingdom.
Oh, one day...
very soon, Pongo,
l'm going to make a sale.
We're fast approaching the point
where l'm gonna have to start
eating your table scraps.
[ Barking ]
- [ Whining ]
- Oh.
l was exaggerating.
Well, shall we?
[ Sighing ] lt's not that bad.
lt's very important
this meeting goes well.
You know how l am about meetings.
l tend to get a little, well, nervous.
When l get nervous, l say things, l do
things l shouldn't say, l shouldn't do.
- And the next thing
we know, freelancing.

He's got the best instincts
in the industry.
Since he was six, he's picked

- Ow!
[ Barking ]
[ Sighing ]
Well?
What do you think?
Potentially good graphics,
reasonably entertaining premise...
the dog's well-conceived
and the environments are engaging.
But l'm not interested
in a game that has...
a chubby little dogcatcher
as the bad guy.
Even girls won't like this game.
- Sorry, mate.
- Yeah, but wait, wait, wait.
Herbert, wait!
What if there were a better villain?
You know, someone you could really hate?
lt's not hatred that's important.
lt's a desire to annihilate.

Morning, Miss De Vil's office.

Thank you. Good morning,

Good morning, Cruella.
- [ Cruella ] What a charming dog.
- Thank you.
- Spots?
- Yes, she's dalmatian.
- lnspiration?
- Yes.
- Long hair or short?
- Short.
- Coarse or fine?
- l'm afraid it is a little coarse.
- Pity!
- But it was very fine
when she was a puppy.
Redemption! We need to have
a little girl talk.
Come to my office.
Bring the drawing.
Now, darling, tell me
more about these spots.
l did leopard spots
in the '80s.
Well, dalmatian spots are
a little different, aren't they?
- Cozy. Classic.
