Why are they bothering with 101 Dalmatians origin stories when there's a sequel to adapt?
I don't know why they're spending so much time creating origin movies for 101 Dalmatians when they could have just adapted the original book's sequel instead.
It's called The Starlight Barking, and while many might argue that it falls under the same trappings as all sequels do--namely that the plot is just a lazy rehash of the original story--there are just a couple of very minor differences. Specifically:
*All of humanity--but not dogs--have fallen into a state of deep hibernation.
*Dogs now have telekinetic powers and can open doors and stuff with their minds.
*Oh, they can also transport themselves by levitation.
* There's a dog Prime Minister of Britain (which naturally makes sense, because the human Prime Minister of Britain is asleep)
*At one point, there's a "killing Baby Hitler" styled philosophical debate amongst the dogs about Cruella de Vil, but it turns out she's gotten into "metallic plastic" coats instead of dog skin coats, so clearly she learned her lesson.
*Then this sort of dog demigod (a demidog?) descends from the stars and offers to take all the dogs back with him to live in outer space because he's worried about them dying in nuclear war but also because he's kind of lonely.
*The dogs are like, "Heh...Nah, I think we're good. But, hey, thanks for asking."
*Then everybody wakes up and everything is pretty much the same as before.
All of this sounds a lot like Scientology if Scientology was 1000 times more endearing and less creepy and involved dogs.
I assure you that this is all 100% a real honest to God thing and that I would pay money--lots and lots of money--to see if somebody could possibly adapt this into a plausible movie.
