I wonder why Ursula looks nothing like Disney's version. Most of the other characters look like their Disney counterparts.

I haven't seen it yet but probably because Ursula wasn't human. Much more leeway on how they portray her. The other characters were humans. Beast sure didn't look like Gold in the movie.

Did they really need all three villainesses at once? I think it's overkill for the show. I'm not instantly liking any of their casting choices for them, though I think they may have been too faithful towards the animated Cruella's look.

Personally I'm glad they went the way they did with Ursula. Not interested in seeing a human version of that exact character every week.
I'm cool with Ursula and Maleficent since they both use magic. But I'm really skeptical that they will able to bring in Cruella in a way that makes even a little bit of sense. And seeing "Pongo" early on in the episode was an example of them making a connection to her very ridiculous. They should have just found a way to bring over the Wonderland version of Jafar instead.
