I don't know what will come out of this thread.

What if there was a 101 Dalmatians 3?

Any ideas of what you would have as a story or have in the cast?

I feel like they closed the series pretty well with the sequel and if they were to make another one it would raise the question whether Cruella would be the main villain yet again. Reusing old ideas three times in a row is not exactly good story telling. That being said, while I enjoyed the sequel, nothing can beat the amazing feeling the original brought.

I think it would still be nice to share any ideas that people think about if they have an thoughts about a "what if" scenario with the series.

Yes the series of films will most likely never become a trilogy but the fantasy surrounding the concept of a third movie is always good to sometimes think about.

Keeps the dream alive even if it never becomes reality.

what would the story be about? pongo and perdita have to be pretty old by that point. its not as if 'creulla gets out of jail and wants revenge' would work.

My point exactly. The overused cliché that the main villain was sentenced to prison for doing something terrible and breaking out of said prison to get revenge on the protagonist is quite unoriginal and I fail to see how it would excite the audience. Although Disney is up to something little different, as of right now, I don't see it becoming a hit.

They used that Cruella plot point in the live-action 102 Dalmatians and the direct to DVD sequel haha.

But yeah, I think that Pongo and Pedita have never quite been the main protagonist since the original. I believe the cartoon series focuses on the pups, and 101 Dalmatians 2 focused on Thunderbolt and Patch.

A third one can focus on a relative of Cruella Devil to say who is just as twisted or take the sequel to 101 Dalmatians The Starlight Barking and adapt that.

Here it the summary on Wikipedia

I used to own the 101 Dalmatians Platinum Edition, and there was a documentary on it. Though I barely remember it, Starlight Barking is mentioned. Walt apparently wanted to break his own rule of never making a sequel (101 Dalmatians already broke many rules with its Xerox animation and being set in a contemporary time) because he liked the author's work a lot, but I think he decently against it eventually. So I don't think Disney will ever adapt that novel in particular.

It was also mentioned that he didn't know about it since he died before the book was published.

The TV Series, the 2 live action movies and the animated sequel to the 1961 original have no connection to the book's sequel.

Not to say the animated one is bad, I felt that if they looked at it they would have thought that the story wasn't strong enough to satisfy a 70 minute movie even if it's a straight to Video/DVD.

Well the The Starlight Barking would be a good adaption.

Nick22 · **Reply #11 on:** May 01, 2020, 08:41:40 PM

when was that book written?

Enchanted-Valley96 · **Reply #12 on:** May 01, 2020, 09:00:34 PM

When it was written?

It was released in 1967 and was a direct sequel.

That one's been used for hundreds of years now.

I don't really think people really would want to watch a prequel.

Disney should give people a story on the Dalmatians themselves not just a villain.

Does this pertain to animated films or the live action movies?

Live action for the Cruella story and animation for the dalmatians.

Gentle Sharptooth · **Reply #17 on:** May 06, 2020, 07:08:15 PM

I would love 103 Dalmatians (Animated) to focus on Patches and Wizzer, like the PC Game:

I'm quite annoyed that Disney now want to spend time on a story that nobody really cares about.

When was the last time you thought "I want to know about why Cruella De Vil became obsessed with Dalmatians"?

I agree, there is no empathizing with dog killer. What’s next? Ursula’s own movie?
