What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Some scary lyrics for kids ("All innocent children better beware/she likes a spider waiting for a kill/If she doesn't scare you/no evil thing will"), but if they can sit through the movie, they'll be fine listening to the song.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Obvious tie-in to Disney, 101 Dalmatians, and Wizards of Waverly Place.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

What Parents Need to Know

This review of `Cruella de Vil` (CD single) was written by Heidi Kotansky

Parents need to know that your tween will be into this star of Wizards of Waverly Place because she's in heavy rotation on Radio Disney. This single is a remake of the classic tune from 101 Dalmatians, and talks about how scary Cruella De Vil is.

What’s the Story?

"CRUELLA DE VIL" is the theme song of sorts of the mean main character in the Disney classic 101 Dalmatians. It's been updated by Selena Gomez to include guitar-heavy riffs in the chorus.

Is It Any Good?

It's been updated by Selena Gomez to include guitar-heavy riffs in the chorus.

Sometimes it's not a great idea to mess with a classic, but Gomez' remake of this well-known Disney tune, makes it more accessible to tweens today. With a hint of Christina Aguilera, Gomez nails every note and breaks out of the suppressed "Disney" voice to let herself rock. Just try getting this catchy tune out of your head.
