Estella has black and white hair since she was born, and she has a different sensitivity to fashion. She is independent, rebellious, and individual, and always transforms her school uniform into what she likes. In the face of bullying by her classmates, she never compromised. Even if the teacher threatened her to remember a big mistake, she must insist on reciprocating a tooth for a tooth.
Fortunately, she has an enlightened mother. Her mother raised Estella alone, taught her how to make clothes, encouraged her to create, and always regarded Estella as her pride.
But Estella's maverick still led to her being expelled from school. In order to give her a better future, her mother decided to take her to London. The mother is going to meet an old acquaintance who can not only help their mother and daughter start a new life, but also provide Estella with a better education.
That night, the mother and daughter drove to a mansion, where a fashion dinner is being held. Although her mother told Estella to stay quiet in the car, Estella couldn't help being curious and sneaked into the banquet hall with her puppy.
Countless brocade clothes made Estella think that she had come to heaven, but she caused a huge riot. She was chased by the host's three Dalmatian dogs and fled all the way, completely ruining the gorgeous banquet.
But just when she finally got out, the three vicious dogs suddenly turned and rushed towards Estella's mother.
In fright, the mother fell into the cliff. The family ruby necklace Estella wore was also left in the garden.
The desperate Estella took the puppy Buddy to the fountain where her mother had visited before, where she met the stray children Horace and Jasper.

The evil witch Marlene Fissen in "Sleeping Beauty", the queen and stepmother in "Snow White", the underwater witch Ursula in "The Little Mermaid" and Kuila in "101 Loyal Dogs" are known as "The Big Four of Disney" Wicked girl".
Among them, Kuila's character set is the most special.
The first three "wicked women" are all closely related to magic. Not only are they sinister and vicious, the "victims" they target are also innocent poor princesses. But Kuila is different. She has her own company and is a strong woman from scratch. Her life can even be summed up in the word "inspirational".
Kuila, was born to be the main heroine.
But she is obsessed with fur. In order to get a beautiful and gorgeous coat, she hunted countless rare animals, and then stepped on a ladder made of blood to climb to the top of fashion.
Her character is uncertain, but she is always full of creative inspiration and passion. There seem to be countless possibilities hidden behind this neurotic woman. And this is exactly in line with Hollywood's weather vane in recent years.
But how easy is it to turn a well-known villain into a positive role?
There are three main reasons for the success of "Sleeping Curse": First, there are not many inscriptions on the evil witch Marlene Fissen in the original work, which provides creators with space for a second time; second, the background of "Sleeping Beauty" In a world where magic and humans coexist, the two opposing parties can dig out a lot of drama conflicts, which can promote the development of plot and characters' feelings; as for the third point, it is inseparable from Angelina Jolie, who plays the protagonist. Contact, her stunning beauty and strong aura all add a lot to this role.
But Kuila is different from Marlene Fissen. Whether it’s the "101 Faithful Dogs" animation or the live-action movie, Kuila's image is very hideous and ugly, not to mention that she is still labeled as "animal killer". If you want to wash her white, it is bound to turn the "dogs" on the opposite side into evil.
Fortunately, "Black and White Witch Kuila" has given a reasonable explanation about this point. And cleverly avoiding the most important, weakening the contradiction between man and dog, but highlighting the greed and fear of human nature.
What’s more interesting is that in this work, the original main character of "101 Faithful Dogs" has also been subversively transformed: two fools hired by Kuila became her accommodating and treating her as the writer’s confidant. Buddy. The two were willing to take orders from her not for money, but for their love and tolerance for her.
He Anita in "101 Faithful Dogs" also transformed into Kuila's old friends and witnessed the first half of her legendary life.

The two heroines of "Black and White Witch Kuila" are Emma Stone, the "Sister Stone" who won the Oscar for "City of Philharmonic", and the "Harry Potter" series. And Emma Thompson, the old British drama character of "True Love Is First".
Both Emma gave a different screen performance this time.
Especially Sister Stone. Kuila has strong personal characteristics. Her terrifying laughter, thick dark circles, hunched over and exuding neurotic images are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It is not easy for Shishi, who is known for her beauty, to play such a sickly woman. But she not only cleverly grasped the essence of Kuila, but also did not ignore the madness of Kuila's heart in order to forcefully whitewash.
The arrogance of facing the enemy, the confusion of being alone in the new life, all show vividly with a look and a smile. So that the audience did not feel that she was playing Kuila, but thought she was Kuila.
In this film, the distinction between justice and evil is no longer so clear, and Kuila has become the epitome of everyone. We can be kind, but occasionally evil is inevitable... None of this is important. What is important is how you choose to become what kind of person you are in the end. You are the master of your own destiny and character.
