WAAAAY better than 'All Dogs Go to Heaven 1'!!!

It's been a while since I've seen this film in its entirety, so I don't know how it holds up since the last time I've watched it, however I remember absolutely LOVING Red as a villain. Heck, he's probably one of my favourite animated non-Disney villains of all time. His villain song is awesome too.

Whether the rest of the film holds up as well as he does? I cannot say for certain, though I do remember liking it a lot.

I've never seen the original, though.

All Dogs 2 was bad in everything, even worse, it negated any plot from the first movie and the series was based upon #2.

I agree that this is an underrated and amazing sequel. I've always adored everything about it--the EXQUISITE music, the fine animation, the compelling and dramatic plot, the humor, the beloved old characters and charming new ones. Sasha became an all-time favorite character of mine the instant I laid eyes on her (I was already the world's hugest fan of Rita from Oliver & Company!) Honestly, as a franchise, the entire ADGTH thing stands up very well. Yes, there's an apparent time discrepancy between the original and the sequel. But overlooking or attempting to explain that away...it's pretty much brilliant otherwise. Even the TV series and Christmas Carol double-episode were, overall, pretty awesome and enjoyable for fans--or anyone else willing to give them a shot.

Now, I don't agree that the sequel is BETTER than the first. The original Bluth film is a gritty, daring, enchanting, timeless masterpiece, the likes of which are very rarely--if ever--created anymore. Even as a child, I did not find it at all difficult to follow or comprehend. I'm also with the majority of fans that loved the sweet Anne-Marie. However, like Penny (whom I also like), it wasn't *necessary* to include her in the sequel, which is a separate story and a new phase in the lives (or afterlives) of Charlie and Itchy. I do appreciate it when they throw us a bone and at least confirm what's going in the futures of such characters, but as she wasn't the MAIN focus and her story was satisfactorily concluded in the first, it wasn't imperative that we see her again. "The Rescuers Down Under" is another truly exceptional sequel--far above the level of quality many people typically associate with them. In fact, my family largely prefers it to the first Rescuers. I like it a little bit more, too, and that's saying something!

As for Anne Marie...what the heck was your problem with her?!? I think I do prefer her to Penny, a little bit, and I'm definitely not high at this moment. Both little girls are plenty cute and lovable, though. Perhaps it's just that ADGTH ranks higher than The Rescuers with me.

I like you, Um. I like largeness...

I loved this one more than the 1st. Plus, it gives a lighter tone to it. Whereas the 1st one had a darker tone to it. I do feel bad for Judith Barsi who played Ann-Marie though the poor baby. :-(

No Day But Today. Today 4 U. One Song Glory.
How we gonna pay last year's RENT?!

This movie holds nothing to the original. While not a perfect movie by any means the original All Dogs Go to Heaven had amazing animation with stunning and symbolic imagery and superb voice acting. The story was also pretty deep and a good satire on mobster films and the criminal underworld in general. Carface was also more of a threat and VERY intimidating, where as in this sequel and it's follow-up series he's more of a buffoon. I seriously can't see how anybody could honestly prefer this petty excuse for a sequel to the original.

...Doh!

Well how KIND of you. The first was heartfelt. And entertaining, but as for your constant bashing of a pretty impressive child actress, who was simply doing her job and very well considering her real life was a tormented piece of hell, and the poor baby ended up shot and killed by her own POS father before the movie was even releasesd, so keep up the speaking ILL of the dead, you sound like her POS father.
