Amazing just like the first. The animation goes for the same rough yet beautiful aesthetic of the first, where you can see all the effort that went into the animation and how worth it it is. I do massively prefer the story to this movie, it builds upon the first by making the young boy a much more interesting and deep character and it's charming to see all the new things and references to the original. I do also like the music for this although the original is obviously much more famous and classic. The animation while sticking to the original also feels much more colourful and smoother in a very good way. With all that being said I do have 2 massive problems with this. First off while I do like it's additions the actual story beats outside of the beginning is pretty much the exact same, to the point the movie actually feels less like a sequel and more like a remake. And I also think the ending has an annoying bad message. But I'd still argue it's better than the originals ending and I'd still say this is a great movie to kill 20 minutes an all time Christmas classic just like the first.
