This movie was amazing and exactly how a sequel should be done as it expands on everything from the first movie and doesn't retread anything. Easily up there with the Toy Story movies on how to world build and how to do sequels right. It's just not often I see a sequel that expands on the previous story without rehashing themes, ideas, or plot devices from the original movie that I'm in shock when someone pulls it off. They pulled it off in wonderful ways that I sat in awe as I watched this movie marveling in everything on display.
The animation was top notch equally breathtaking - the flight scenes a lone are majestic and beautiful - the various islands explored all have a unique design and color scheme all their own. I was glad to see the story expand on the characters from the first film without having them fall back into their old behaviors as so many movies tend to do. The choices that were made in the first film and changes within the characters remained in their lives in the second film. We also get to see the consequences of those choices - good and bad - in this film. I just hope there is another sequel after this movie as it adds a lot of things to the over all story that I'm interested in what happens next.
A good kids films with plenty of things for adults and movie lovers along the way.
