My Take on the DVD
I did not see this movie in the theater, but I did enjoy the original so when I was given the opportunity to see the movie I jumped at it. This sequel provided some of the same gags and humor that you found in the original. In saying this though the story itself was unique and different than the original and I found myself laughing in many parts throughout the movie itself.
I loved that the movie did integrate some innuendos to other movies throughout the film and even works to integrate some different morals into the story as well. The actors did a great job at providing voice to their characters and they do a great job at bringing their characters and the story to life.
There were parts in the movie where the plot did get lost in the forest, but soon the writers found the path again and were able to bring together the movie in the end as well.
Overall, this was a fun, family friendly movie that all will enjoy. Just be aware that there are some scary characters that younger children may be frightened of.
