Twitter Thread Details the 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians' Sequel About Total Dog Domination

Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a pretty iconic movie - and is based on an equally iconic book with nearly same title. But did you know that there was a sequel to the book? One would think that the live-action spinoff would follow the same plot. But it doesn't. And that's because the story is so insane it's impossible to film.

Twitter user @SketchesByBoze enlightened the site with these facts in a mind-blowing thread last year - a thread that we only happened upon nearly a year later. But you know what they say: Better late than never.

Rather than calling the story ‘The One Hundred and Two Dalmatians,’ author Dodie Smith titled the sequel The Starlight Barking.

The title does nothing to prepare you for the absolutely nutso story. As @SketchesByBoze explains, the dogs of the world wake up one day with super powers - and that all humans are asleep. The shitshow unravels from there. So without further ado, here's a succinct and entertaining retelling of the wild story.
Yes, the dogs desire revenge. In the form of murder. While a bit intense, we have to say that the punishment fits the crime.

Things don't go as planned.
The plot thickens.

Yes, that's right: a SPACE DOG.

It does seem bizarre that nobody would pick up this movie - but we're kind of glad they didn't. Some things are made worse when put into the hands of greedy movie studios. And using CGI for this story would be a complete nightmare. Whatever happens, we're just glad to have added this to the archives of our ever-shrinking brains. It'll definitely spice up a party full of dull conversation.
