While the original "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" eventually spawned a live-action remake, a sequel to the remake, and a future spinoff—"Cruella," an origin story with Emma Stone playing the fur-obsessed villain, was delayed due to COVID-19 but may stream in 2021 on Disney+—the first time Disney revisited the "Dalmatians" in animation was later, in 2002. "101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure" picks up one year after the events of the original movie, and centers on the adventures of Patch, one of the puppies, who dreams of bigger things than life on the Dalmatian ranch. Cruella de Vil once more seeks to turn the family into a coat.

Few (if any) contemporary directors are more subversive than Todd Solondz, which makes 2016's "Wiener-Dog" an acquired taste, to put it mildly. The film centers on the adventures of its title character, an unassuming daschund who gets passed around from owner to owner. Needless to say, this one is not for the faint of heart, or even the average dog lover.

Not to be confused with the 2018 remake, 1974's "Benji" introduced audiences to a heroic dog who helps save two kidnapped children. To say the movie was popular would be an understatement, as it not only launched a number of film sequels and TV specials, but a short-lived TV series and video game as well. Benji was also the subject of two separate documentaries.
