Don't worry, Cruella...

 

What would any movie set in London, animated or live action, be without an iconic double-decker bus?!?!




And yes, the bus is solely under the control of Dalmatian puppies...

Now I really wanna rewatch this movie to see how the dogs acquired the bus (it has been over a decade since I've seen this movie)!

 

Cruella has Horace and Jasper steal a Kanine Krunchies delivery truck in order lure the puppies out of Roger and Anita's house for her second dognapping plot...

One of them (I believe Jasper; Again, haven't seen the movie since probably 2007) dresses in drag and pretends to be an attractive woman having a car trouble in order to get the truck driver to stop, while the other one (presumably Horace) steals the truck; The first picture shows the truck right before it gets stolen...




The second picture shows the dog biscuit truck in pursuit of the double decker bus seen above, with Cruella the wheel...

 

More vehicles from 101 Dalmatians II; This is the moving van that Roger and Anita rented to move into their new house...

 

The van that takes Cruella away at the end of the movie; Her furs are replaced with a straitjacket a short time later (I will post a photo of Cruella in her straitjacket later on)…

 

Another double decker bus...

 

A different kind of "bus"...

 

A police car that, despite the movie being set in the early 1960s, closely resembles a late 1960s or early 1970s Mercedes...

 

The 101 Dalmatians section is almost done...

 

Roger and Anita's car, which is based on numerous late 1950s or early 1960s European sedans (kinda looks like the flying Ford Anglia from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)…

 

Aside from a screenshot of Cruella De Vil in a straitjacket, nothing movie-related, at least not anything photo-intensive...

 

Another car that appears in the scene where Cruella's car falls apart...

 

@Taco critter

^^^^^^

Look above...

Doesn't that appear to be part of the rear diff lying on the ground?

 

Looks like a Morris Minor pickup truck...

 

Speeding double decker passing what appear to be a late 1950s Jaguar, and a Mini Cooper trying to get out of the way...

 

One time I found some fan art of Cruella, and the evil queen from Snow White, snorting lines of coke together...

Gonna have to watch the movie to get the picture of Cruella in a straitjacket though, because I can’t find it online!

 

Now for some more serious, non-Disney discussion...

I’ve said it before and I will say it again; I miss my boss and most of my
coworkers from the detail shop, but so don’t miss the long hours or the stressful work environment. One of my former supervisors owns a Tacoma, and has been known to frequent this site even though he’s not a member, and frequent my thread...

You know who you are, and you were one of the people who helped me keep my sanity when I was working there!



Anyway, this time last year I was working there; There was a Christmas Eve shift that was mandatory for everyone who didn’t have vacation time or a valid reason not to come in, but I recall my boss saying I didn’t have to come in if I didn’t want to. The shift was 7am-12pm on Christmas Eve, and a huge meal was provided by the boss. I chose to go in that day, and while it wasn’t horrible, I didn’t really make jack shit...

As I’ve set before, we were paid flat rate at the equivalent of ten bucks an
hour; It was a five hour shift, but I only logged 3.2 hours of work. This would be $32 BEFORE taxes and shit. Needless to say, nobody was too happy about that because almost nobody made their hours that day...

My question to one of my coworkers was “Who the hell is buying a car on Christmas Eve?!?!” The answer was almost nobody.

We also had to work Memorial Day, Labor Day, and New Year’s Eve! You could technically take those days off, but it meant not being able take other days off. I regularly butted heads with my boss at the detail shop, because I’d come from a job where I voluntarily worked every Saturday and Sunday I possibly could, but was always able to take entire weekends off whenever I wanted for car shows and family gatherings.

 

The honest truth is that even though I liked who I worked with at the detail shop and had no complaints about the money I was making, that job was slowly but surely costing me my sanity. My current employer knows how much I disliked that job, and my dad tells me just about everyday how proud he is of me for sticking it out for ten months!
