Loved the vibe? Here are ten films that hit similar notes—with match scores, reasons to watch, and where to stream in the US.
Cruella (2021) stuck because it commits to its comedy premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Craig Gillespie's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The comedy and crime blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.

There's a reason Cruella fans keep landing on Moana (2016) — the comedy is unmistakably related even when the plots diverge. Both films operate on the same emotional frequency, especially in their third acts.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa draws from the same comedy well as Cruella, channeling adventure in ways that feel unmistakably related. The 2008 film makes a natural companion watch — similar in spirit but distinctly its own.

The comedy appeal of Cruella — that funny edge, the adventure — translates cleanly into Spies in Disguise (2019). Different setting, same essential satisfaction.

Much of what makes Cruella compelling — the crime, the adventure — shows up in The Losers (2010) in a slightly different form. Both films understand that dark storytelling works best when it trusts the audience.

The comedy energy of Cruella is alive in An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991), filtered through a different story but the same emotional register. It earns its place on this list with a funny payoff that rivals the original pick.
