An average movie

At the end of the 70’s, Don Bluth decided to leave Disney and, in the 80’s, he managed to have even more success than his previous employer, especially with ‘An American Tail’. 5 years later, Steven Spielberg decided to produce a sequel but he couldn’t get along this time with Don Bluth, so Bluth was not involved with this sequel and the animation style was distinctly different. On top of that, at the time, Disney was going through one of his greatest reinaissance and this sequel had to compete with ‘Beauty and the Beast’ which was a critical and commercial success so this 2nd installment didn’t get much attention. Eventually, even though it was obviously a step down from the original movie, I thought it was actually still enjoyable. Sure, it might be a little boring for the adults but there is no doubt that it is a nice watch for the kids as they are definitely the target audience here. So, the story was nothing original whatsoever but I thought it was entertaining enough and the animation was pretty good. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I think it is a decent animated feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
