I really applaud the big risk the film makers took to shift away from the classic good guy - bad guy storyline and instead go for a more daring journey of self discovery. The film looks amazing visually and I really liked the world building in this film. However, the execution of the film is muddled and the plot is contrived, unnatural and it does not flow as smoothly as the first entry.
This film feels thematically darker than the first one, but I was rather disappointed with the ending that feels forced and unnatural so as to appeal to the younger kids. The humor was quite good but the musical numbers could not match up to the already classic original film.
Overall, an interesting addition to the franchise that really lacked the magic touch that captivated audiences in the first film.
