Review of All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 (1996) by Jack O — 20 Oct 2018
When I first saw the trailer of All Dogs Go To Heaven 2, I was thinking, yeah, that seems about right. When the first film has it's fans like myself and critics were mixed at the time when it was released.
So now that we have the sequel, most of the changes were made in this movie and I mean a lot. One: There's no Burt Reynolds. He's replaced by Charlie Sheen. Get it? Charlie Sheen as Charlie Barkin? Charlie plays Charlie! That's original! Two: Like I mentioned Burt Reynolds is replaced by Charlie Sheen, most of the actors were replaced like Ernest Borgnine replaces Vic Tayback as Carface and Bebe Neuwirth replaces Melba Moore as Annebelle.
The only actor who returns is Dom DeLuise. Three: There's no Killer. That's weird. Four: Don Bluth is not gonna be involved in this movie. And five: The animation is pretty crap in comparison to the original.
And yeah, that's just about all I can say about the changes made to the film. Charlie Barkin played by Charlie Sheen knows that all dogs go to heaven along with his old enemy, Carface played by Ernest Borgnine.
His friend, Itchy played by once again by Dom DeLuise is now at heaven because he died by choking on a bone. Carface steals Gabriel's Horn but it accidentally falls from heaven. So now it's up to Charlie and Itchy to go back to earth somewhere in San Francisco to retrieve Gabriel's Horn.
Along the way, they came across new friends, such as Sasha played by singer, Sheena Easton (Boy, I would love her singing in this.), David and an evil devil cat called Red who wants Gabriel's Horn.
So now that I have seen this movie, Sam Guy and I been quoting lines from it much like the first film and first we've been singing from All Dog Go To Heaven 2 is a song called "It Feels So Good To Be Bad".
I've been dying to sing this! There's also other songs like "It's Too Heavenly Here" by the way, that's Lefou's voice from Beauty and the Beast singing it. They also have "Count Me Out" sung by Sheena Easton, "On Easy Street" and "I Will Always Be With You".
There's an end credits song in it. Now the characters who are who some people who have seen this film know what to expect. Charlie and Itchy don't have a casino anymore because it got blown up from the first film.
Red is a good villain despite it being poorly animated. Carface who is evil from the original suddenly turned out to be a wimp cause he works for Red now. Besides, he wants to steal Gabriel's Horn and bring it to Red.
Okay then, the first time I've heard Carface's voice in this, I just realised that he sounds like Mermaid Man from SpongeBob SquarePants. What can I say? it's Ernest Borgnine! Now then, now that I can get this over with is the animation.
To me, it looks cheaply made by the looks of it. the backgrounds are not spectacular nether does the character animation. Other than that, it looks like the animators don's know how to animate properly.
It kind of like The Pebble and the Penguin. But as it is, it's worth watching. I really like this movie for characters that, well, not as good as the original gets a good animation, songs that me and Sam Guy really liked and what can I say? I really, really enjoyed this movie especially if you're a huge fan of animation.
