Darla Dimple is a movie star actress voiced by Ashley Peldon (sung by Lindsay Ridgeway) in Pooh's Adventures of Cats Don't Dance, where she is the principal antagonist. Being referred to as America's Sweetheart/ Lover of children and Animals (as well as a caricature of Shirley Temple, Jane Withers and Darla Hood), she fears her reputation will fall if any of the animals were in the main cast, including Danny. So she has her butler, Max, to make sure that no one gets in her way. She also hated animals and anyone who makes friends with animals (AKA Pooh and Friends). In fact, she almost drowned Mammoth Pictures in front of L.B. Mammoth and having all the animal blamed for all this and expelled from the studio. Unfortunately, Danny along with the other animals and Pooh and Friends out staged her and reveals herself as a fraud in front of a live audience after saying that she flooded the stage, so she lost her fame and ended up as a janitor.
A month and 11 days later, she met Sir Ruber and allied with him to get revenge on Winnie the Pooh and his feline friends and to conquer Camelot. In fact, she created a potion that turns Ruber’s thugs into Iron soldiers. Unfortunately, she was electrocuted along with Ruber when he accidentally stabbed Excalibur into its stone and was never heard from again, or so it seems.
It turns out, she was resurrected by Dr. Greed so she can get revenge. She also wears a silly disguise just to hide her identity. Unfortunately, her plans were foiled by Pooh and the others as she was frozen to an Iceicle by Metalgarurumon's Ice Wolf Claw and was thrown into the pit along with The Mix Max Company, never to be seen.
in the Spongebob version of cats don't dance, she was long tainted and poisoned by Ratigan, who made her worse outside of her spoiledness, making her sepitable enough to take Fagin's offer to join the villain league. after the plan to flood the stage backfired, (which did not happened in the real film, or other crossovers) Darla, in a fit of rage, unknowingly blow her secret partnership with Fagin and the attempt of flooding the stage in front of L.B. Mammoth and many others. in a hopeless attempt to get people to forget what she said, she hugs Danny, only to have Squidward (in the real film, and other crossovers, it was Pudge) to pull the lever leading to a trap door.

- In Cherry's Adventures, Darla is revealed to be an orphan and her parents and older sister had died in an unfortunate car accident when she was four and was left with a nanny, this led to her being sent to an orphanage and was adopted by LB Mammoth who was looking for a child star to represent after his actors got too old and weren't big audience winners. After Darla is defeated in Cherry's Adventures of Cats Don't Dance, she is forced to become a janitor like in the closing credits of the original movie, Cherry and Atticus help Darla and find out her origins as an orphan after her first movie is based on her true life of becoming an orphan and adopted by a movie producer, becoming a big star. Atticus and Cherry then take Darla home with them and Atticus introduces Darla to his family and they adopt her as their own child and she had become best friends with Amber (101 Dalmatians) and becomes an aunt after Akito Fudo and Estelle Fudo are born.

- In Pinocchio & Friends, Darla is the leader of an all-girls gang who is helped by Pistachio (Pinocchio's rival and one who later betrays Darla) and strives to get revenge on Danny for what happened to her in the original movie and take back her spotlight. However, she's stopped by Pinocchio and his friends who in turn, shows mercy to Darla. Eventually, Darla progressively changes her attitude toward animals, as she realizes that by redeeming herself, she is going to get the love she needs (whenever she likes it or not). After her mansion is closed down, she joins Pinocchio and his team and helps him defeat Pistachio and his minions. In the process, she promptly falls through a trap door which kills her, but fortunately for her, she becomes an angel instead (the Lil Ark Angel). After Pistachio is defeated, Darla reveals to Pinocchio and his friends her secret identity and states that she will continue her acting career now that she is able to transform into a human at will. She then waves goodbye to Pinocchio before flying away. From that point onward, Darla maintains a double life as both a guardian angel to children and animals (especially Danny) and as a child actress. She now makes sure that she does not get carried away with either her new lifestyle or with fame and fortune.
- In the Pinocchio & Friends AU, it is stated that Darla was always an angel, before being turned into a human for becoming an animal hating spoiled brat.
