101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure
Lars is a stylish but rather strange artist who loves nothing more than painting spots. It is suggested he had some romantic feelings towards Cruella De Vil, and when the Baduns bring the Dalmatian puppies to Lars, he falls in love with them. He becomes inspired to paint, but Cruella declares that he is going to make a masterpiece out of puppy fur. Lars refuses, however, finding what Cruella has in mind to be sick and twisted. Enraged and disappointed, Cruella simply ties him up and goes back to her original plan of making a puppy fur coat. Lars is later freed by Thunderbolt (who had been locked in a cage along with Patch before Patch unlocked the cage using a trick he had learned from his hero). At the near end of the film, Lars is seen reporting Cruella to the authorities as he recounts exactly what happened.
