After falling in love with the first movie, I really wanted to see what the next one had in store for me. I was not disappointed much. Although it was not as good as the first, I still fell in love with the charming story, beautiful animation, and heartfelt voices.
There is only one little problem, the underlining story was not really there. We do not get the holiday home is where the heart is idea that I feel they were trying to convey but instead a different idea. One that went more along the lines of no matter how small you are, you can help in a big way. The home idea gets lost in the middle of the story and I still don't understand what was going on with the wolf called Princess. She just disappears at a point and I never get what happens after. As much as I loved the animation and the story they were trying to place, it does fall apart.
I got a bit surprised at that the difference that the personalities had, Humphrey being a lot more protective and Kate was a lot more military-ish and yet has a lot of Humphrey's fun characteristics. The pups are much more like their parents then the parents in fact. I guess that's normally true of any family though I would of liked to have a bit more of the parents keep their wild personalities.
The pups designs are so cute that I couldn't help but coo at the look. The animation is pretty much the same in textures and the designs although the wolves fur is a bit shorter sadly. You would think since the show is about to fall that they would have longer coats instead. There was also times when the fur of one or two of the characters seemed to change color, turning a bit more white then it should have been or a area that was snowy wasn't in the next area.
The voices were perfect bringing back the voice actors we loved and a few more. There isn't much more to say on that.
Sadly, I cannot give this as high of a rating as the first and though I enjoyed it, the major flaws keep getting in the way. I still think it's a good watch, but just not enough to make it to the best list.
