 | It's clearly said, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 is NOT for christians! I'm glad we only watched, not buy! In this, bad can happen in Heaven and there is no adventure in Heaven. There is a place for adventure in Heaven, and why did Charlie say there's no adventure if in this bad can happen in heaven? And Charlie chooses earth instead of heaven. I like Itchy or whatever because he LOVES heaven. While watching I sadly said, "It will have an unhappy ending!" and it did, Charlie choosing earth when heaven was an option. If you are a christian, don't buy this - it is against God. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!" |

 | The first movie was a good film that I felt was underrated. What happens when you an animated film with a good dark story and make a softened up sequel? The result is All Dogs Go To Heaven 2. Charlie Sheen brings a different likeliness to the Charlie Barkin character than Burt Reynolds. With Burt Reynolds, Charlie had a slight tough guy attitude. With Sheen, Charlie (the dog) has a more sympathetic personality. Itch's selfish steak returns but not as bad as the first film. I don't like musicals much but the first song "It's Too Heavenly Here" doesn't directly show Charlie's feelings towards heaven. He seems bored but of course that's the message that they're trying to give the viewer. Still, I would done that song in the form of hard rock. One thing that gets me is that this movie takes place in modern day San Francisco and the first movie took place in 1939 New Orleans. You'd most likely think that Charlie spent all those years in heaven but the fact that Itchy enters heaven towards the beginning of the movie kills that theory. Carface seems more like a bumbling idiot in this film than the ruthless killer that he was in the first film. It has a bit of a heartwarming story but if you've seen the first film, there's a big chance you'll be dissappointed with this one. |

 | I dunno. This movie made me think of something George Carlin said: "Wherever ideas are concerned, Americans can be counted on to do one of two things: Take a really good idea and run it completely into the ground, or take a really bad idea and run it completely into the ground." Part of the appeal of the first movie was the dark theme, the lovable characters, and the bittersweet story. In other words, it was the kind of movie that, when you were done watching it, you didn't know how to feel about the ending. Mixed emotions. Remember reading "Where the Red Fern Grows," and feeling that same way at the end? Part of the reason that book was so good is because it makes you feel that way. I believe the people who wrote this sequel wanted to do two things: They wanted to make a quick buck, sure... but not only that, they wanted to continue the story with a script designed to negate those mixed emotions the first movie produced. They were soft and weak, and couldn't stomach a movie that didn't have a clear-cut happy ending. So they produced something inferior that completely destroyed the magic of the original story, all in an effort to set things straight. I gave it two stars for it's good-hearted (yet lame) attempt to reach out to the children of divorced parents, but as far as I'm concerned, this sequel never happened. |
