this straight to video movie is not really a sequel to the first one.in fact it has little to do with the first one.this one is more of a morality play.it's basically a lesson for the younger set on what really mater in life.it can com across as preachy,but i think tit's supposed to in order to get through to its target audience.it is nice to see a movie that has a positive message once in a while adults may find it tedious though.young children will probably enjoy it and find some education value out of it at the same time.it will probably be lost on most teenagers though.if you have little ones,they will likely enjoy it.
