All Dogs Go to Heaven 2

I'm giving this a five stars because I like this sequel to the classic ADGTH very much. Also I think this movie gets a lot of undeserved hate as being a "poor film and sequel" and I don't think that's entirely true at all. However just because I'm giving it five stars doesn't mean I won't point out a few of the mistakes.1. Anne Marie was not even mentioned and that bothered me a little considering her role in the first movie and how close her and Charlie came to be. However maybe they didn't because of what happened to the actress and if that's the reason then I understand.2. Animation isn't as great nor the songs but they are both still good.3. Lot of different voice actors. Charlie Sheen as Charlie(coincidence, ha!) is pretty good but Burt Reynolds is missed very much. The voice actor for carface was different, but did decent and so did the voice actor for Annabelle albeit a bit whiny. Plus Charlie's personality seems different but sort of makes sense seeing as what happened with him in the first and there is the big time plot hole.I know that seems like a lot but honestly if you can over look those small details then this a good film. Is it as good or as heartfelt as the first, no but when are sequels ever better than the original. Any fan of the first one should give this one a chance, you may like it or you may not.

Received this item in perfect condition (bought this movie used not new.) I got this to replace one that I had (and still have) that got so scratched up that it quit playing perfectly (it hit a couple of points where it skipped.) So I decided that since Amazon had such a great deal on it that I'd get it (I've had this copy since February 2018) and this movie brought back some great memories. So if you have kids who love dogs and cartoons All Dogs Go To Heaven is a great series for them. P.S. For those of you who decide to purchase All Dogs Go To Heaven 1 I must warn you that there is a scene involving the main character Charlie closer toward the end of the movie that may be scary for younger children. But don't let that one scene stop you from treating your kids to a wonderful series.

So compared to the first ADGTH, it's definitely not the same. As others have mentioned, it's a lot "lighter" and it's not as "dark" as the first one. It does make sense though because of course it really can't be darker themed since they are all in Heaven now and Heaven is supposed to be light and happy. But I also agree that the musical numbers are really cheesy and mostly unnecessary. I just enjoyed watching Charlie and Itch's story continue because I loved those guys. It's a nice little sequel to the first but that's about it.

To be specific, I'm gonna be talking about the blu-ray edition. I know the comment will show that by the title, but I know sometimes it's easy to miss that.So All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 was a cash grab, nearly 10 years after the first film came out. It has a different director (Or directors I should say), only one returning actor, Dom DeLuise as Itchy, a generic love plot, a basic heaven and hell fight, and enough songs to fill a soundtrack album, and kill about 20 minutes of screentime. Vic Tayback was replaced by Ernest Borgnine as Vic had passed away, and honestly I think Ernest adds a bit more life to the character. Then Burt Reynolds is replaced with Charlie Sheen, which is a massive downgrade, even back then.So the story is basically Itchy is reunited with Charlie in heaven, and Charlie is bored stiff with the afterlife. Carface, however, makes a deal with the devil (Which, is he the devil? At one point they say his "boss yanked his leash" in reference to the devil character, so he might just be a powerful demon) and steals Gabriel's horn, which the devil wants to use to... blow open the gates of heaven and trap all the heavenly dog souls in the cells of Alcatraz... Why? I have no idea. Just to be a jerk? There's no real motivation aside from the devil character being a cat and really hating dogs. There's no intentions displayed of taking over heaven once all the dogs are cleared out or anything.So when Carface drops the horn over San Francisco, Charlie volunteers himself and Itchy to go find it, and while there, he falls in love with another dog singing at another junkpile casino, and also gets tangled up with a runaway kid who wants nothing more than to become a street magician. Meanwhile, he also has to make his own deal with the devil because one trick of him going back to Earth to retrieve it as that nobody can see him aside from angels or demons. "Red" as this devil character likes to be called gives him a special collar that makes him flesh and blood when he's wearing it but says it'll only work for a day, and when it stops working he basically tricks Charlie into giving him the horn. Good and evil fight, good conquers evil, blah-blah-blah, this movie is terrible.What's even worse is this blu-ray transfer of the film. I recently picked up this and the first movie on blu-ray because I've had them on DVD for years but never in widescreen. Now, this appears to be a case where the fullscreen was made off an unmatted version of the film so for both movies, your fullscreen copies are going to show off more frame than the widescreen. But I'm a believer in "this is how it was intended to be seen." Aside from that, the color in this release is terrible. Now the old DVD was a little pale - the colors seemed kind of washed out, nothing really popped. Now a few scenes on this blu-ray look very nice - the glow in Red's eyes when Charlie first meets him definitely pops and looks way better than the old DVD. But for the most part, this disc looks dark and dingy. That works for the first movie as the first All Dogs is VERY dark in its colors and themes. This one though is a bright, vibrant romp. A chase on a motorscooter from a police car during the daytime looks like it's happening in a crime noir at dusk. It feels like all the scenes have a black tint on them for some reason.And on top of that, the blu-ray even has a few errors. There's line right at the beginning of the movie that, for some reason, is out of synch. My first thought was "This is a mid-90s non-Disney sequel, of course they sort of skimped around the corners here and there." Then I put in my fullscreen DVD and the line was synched PERFECTLY on that disc. And it's just that one line! Right when Itchy gets sent to heaven, he asks "Am I... dead?" and Charlie responds "As a dog that eats chicken bones." Both of those lines are way off their mark, and the lines before and after it are synched. Why it's like this on just the blu-ray is beyond me. On top of that, there's another error that doesn't affect me but might someone else - if you speak a language other than English, do not expect to know what's going on in any of the songs. The closed captions in Spanish and French seem to stop anytime a song starts, and on the dub tracks it's the same deal. The dubs stop and revert to English at any point when someone is singing. Once again, pulled out my old DVD - such was not the case there (Well, at least for the subtitles, I didn't really check the dubs on there).In short, MGM or 20th Century Fox - somebody - slapped together a crummy release for a crummy movie, and since it's nothing majorly beloved or adored, chances are it's never going to get a rerelease that fixes these problems. (Something that was on both the DVD and the blu-ray - for some reason during the end climax, some of the shots look double exposed. I have no idea why.) I guess I'm glad the movie got a blu-ray release at all, but little to no effort was put into releasing it. And chances are nobody cares.But I love All Dogs, even at its worst, so I care. If you've never seen it and love the first movie, don't pursue this one. I'm just a fan of animation and Don Bluth (Even though he basically had nothing to do with this one). Even if you have young kids, this film is SAFER than the first (If you haven't watched the first All Dogs Go To Heaven in a while or ever, check it out - that film is thematically DARK. And I love it for being that way.), but I don't know if they'll be all that interested in it. As far as quality for releases go though, if you still have a DVD copy (The two pack usually sells for $5 or so), just keep that. You don't need to upgrade.
