Tangentially, the other week I found out that Dodie Smith wrote a sequel to "The Hundred and One Dalmatians." which is quite barking (sorry) mad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlight_Barking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlight_Barking It has a Space Dog and a kind of "Dog Rapture" thing going on. I'm guessing Smith fully embraced late 60's in many ways.

Here is all the madness in a short Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/SketchesbyBoze/status/1400150188195401729 https://twitter.com/SketchesbyBoze/status/140015018819540172... "It has never been filmed. It can never be filmed. It is unfilmable."

  Reminds me a bit of how Charlie and the Glass Elevator, the sequel to Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, is also a weird departure from the original. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_and_the_Great_Glass_Elevator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_and_the_Great_Glass_El...

    Yep, there's definitely some unexpected turns taken there.

    If you think that is crazy, check out the sequel to Forrest Gump https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gump_and_Co https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gump_and_Co.

  That's where I bumped into the sequel but couldn't remember the specific tweet. Thanks.

The live-action sequel of the 101 Dalmatians live-action movie, (102 Dalmatians) also had a bizarre scene in the end where Cruella is baked into an enormous cake. She is mixed in a huge batter, baked alive (she survives, only the cake around here is baked) and blasted with frosting, all by the smart dogs working together. As a kid I remember it being pretty other-wordly.
