Liam D As a sequel to one of Don Bluth’s movies it isn’t the best but it isn’t the worst either Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Kaito K There should have only been one All dogs go to heaven movie Can’t recommend This movie But Definitely Recommend The original Cheack out my review in All dogs go to heaven 1 That one Is So much Better whole movie misses the whole point of the Story in the first one car face is nice to him in car face gets an award when he when he tried to kill Charlie throughout the entire first movie don’t watch this movie F out of A 14% outta 100 whole movie is extremely bad and has nothing to do with the story Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Over 25 years old and this remains a childhood favorite of mine but not as good as the Don Bluth original. Charlie Barkin is back along with his pal Itchy. Both of them are in heaven now but Charlie has grown tired of doing the same old thing. He dreams of going back to Earth enjoying all of its luxuries. When Gabriel's horn is stolen new souls of other dogs can't get into the great beyond, Carface is stealing it to take to his new boss Red. Red plans to use the horn to imprison all the dogs souls. When Charlie and Itchy make it back to the land of the living they find themselves in San Francisco running into a beautiful dog named Sasha and an orphan boy named David who dreams of running away to perform on the streets. Can they find the horn and return it or will Charlie choose to stay on Earth looking after David while also falling for Sasha? It’s kinda painstaking to see the animation so subpar. I'm glad they kept Dom Deluise as Itchy though, wouldn't be the same without him. This a good treat for the little ones. Some places though it may be too dark and satanic just so you know. It’s just a shame this sequel has no ties to the original and I never watched it until this one came out. A lot of the animation has much to be desired. According to online trivia it actually takes place 56 years after the first movie. Interesting how Burt Reynolds played Charlie the first time and in this it's actually Charlie Sheen. This was less well received by critics but it does have nicely painted backgrounds, the voice work by Sheena Easton as Sasha is great and George Hearn as the villain Red. Charlie Sheen brings great personality to Charlie Barkin too. Adam Wylie who voices the boy David is innocent and feels like a genuine kid having actual issues. Decent soundtrack as well. A lot of the plot is an improvement from the last movie and Charlie's concept. Okay, so this is a step down from last time in several spots but it’s a lot more memorable in many regards in my eyes. Anyone who wants a continuation should check this out. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Alexandre N It looks like they didn't take the first movie in consideration. Charlie's story arc makes no sense. Scheen's voice acting changes Reynolds' character for the worst. We're not even talking about the vilain that has no backstory or motivation. Very bad sequel! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Malaysian Airlines A Heartfelt Review of "All Dogs Go to Heaven 2" "All Dogs Go to Heaven 2" is a classic animated film that has touched the hearts of many, young and old, with its themes of friendship, redemption, and, most importantly, the belief that love transcends all boundaries. However, the moment that weighs most heavily on my heart is the unexpected and emotional departure of Gordon Freeman, a character we've grown to love. The loss of Gordon Freeman is a gut-wrenching blow to the narrative. His character brought a sense of wisdom, guidance, and a calming presence to the group. The way he effortlessly bridged the gap between human and canine, establishing a deep connection with everyone, made him a pillar of hope in a world filled with uncertainty. Freeman's demise left a void in the film that's difficult to bear. His departure is a stark reminder that life, even in the animated world, is ephemeral. The emotional impact of Gordon Freeman's death is not just a reflection of his character's end but an allegory for the impermanence of life itself. The moment his presence vanishes from the screen, a sense of melancholy envelops the viewer, and it lingers long after the credits roll. The way the film handles Gordon Freeman's passing is both poignant and profound. It confronts us with the reality that, despite the title, not all beloved characters can escape the clutches of fate. His farewell scene is a beautiful tribute to his role, a testament to the depth of the relationships he formed, and a reminder of the lessons he imparted. It's a bittersweet reflection on the inevitable losses we encounter in our own lives. Despite the deep depression that shrouds Gordon Freeman's departure, "All Dogs Go to Heaven 2" ultimately teaches us that even in the darkest moments, the bonds of friendship and love can endure. While his absence leaves a void, his legacy lives on through the characters and the lessons he imparted, echoing the belief that our loved ones never truly leave us. In conclusion, "All Dogs Go to Heaven 2" is a beautifully animated and emotionally charged film. Gordon Freeman's departure may bring tears and sorrow, but it also underscores the film's power to evoke deep emotions and convey the beauty of life's transient nature. As painful as it may be, this moment is a testament to the movie's ability to touch our hearts and provoke introspection, making it a timeless classic in the world of animation.
