101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure (2003)
A new hero unleashed.
Being one of 101 takes its toll on Patch, who doesn't feel unique. When he's accidentally left behind on moving day, he meets his idol, Thunderbolt, who enlists him on a publicity campaign.
In 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “anthropomorphic canine world”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, fame, exploitation, heroism, media.
