Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

ShangLuda Admirable film.

elie-music Yeah sure! We wanted to see more of ''Todd and Copper'' in their childhood because its probably the cutest friendship ever but I don't think we really needed this midquel or prequel whatever we can call it. Its not only pointless it doesn't have any logic when you look at the first movie you would definitely know that ''The Fox and the Hound 2'' couldn't ever happen like ''The Beauty and the Beast'' sequels I think the only Disney midquel that had sense is Bambi II.The animation look fine I guess but Todd looks nothing like the original, Big Mama, Dinky and Boomer didn't appear in this movie, new characters they look fine, Copper wanted to be a dog singer ... okay then at the end it looks like ''hey Todd! I forgot about all this crazy stuff I don't want to do anymore so lets just play then in the original they've grown up and glad to see you but i'm a hound dog now, well you know.The original movie that came out 37 years ago is one of the best movie I've seen in my childhood, it should be classed as one of the greatest Disney Treasures of all time.

logan_doneske I saw the original "Fox And The Hound" on Netflix. But once I did, I felt kind of sad and morbid, (I actually cried on my bed right after I saw it) the story had nice ideas, great characters, and all that good stuff. But the idea of two best friends becoming enemies and actually trying to kill each other is just not my cup of tea. I'm not saying that I hate the movie, I still think its one of the great Disney classics along with Robin Hood and Lady and the Tramp. I just think that it left me in a cloud of sadness and melancholy.Then I saw the sequel, and I was pleasantly surprised....This one actually relieved me of the bittersweet feeling I got with the first. The film is a prequel that starts all over and decides to change the ideas of the first one by lightening it up a little bit. (something that would normally be seen as a cop out, but for me it's perfect) So now we have a film that leaves me with a more positive feeling than a cold, dark one like with the original. Along with a good idea, the film has more things to keep it running, just to give one example, PATRICK FRIGGIN SWAYZE!!! Now with a guy like him, you can't go wrong, as he gives a great performance that you could get out of him. Now about the crappy reception the film is getting...Most people are striking this film on just the fact that it's not as good as the original, and thus give the film a thumbs down.The thing is when you're watching one of these sequels, you have to come in with an open mind, the least of expectations. Because you are watching a sequel, a film that will never be as good or as groundbreaking as the first. You just have to focus on the ideas about it trying to follow up or be prior to the first. So while some people just bash this film to the ground, others like me either give it a positive review, or like me, Two Thumbs Up!I consider this a great film to watch if you want to watch Fox and The Hound in a different way, or if you weren't satisfied with the first and want to see a more upbeat take.

Jason Rivera After watching Bambi II, I knew now that I can't trust Disney sequels. There always NEVER as good as the first. They suffer from being too babyish, TOO MUCH SINGING, sometimes even SHORTER then the first, and overall a LOT of people hate them. And that's the case with this. Negatives: This, "Going to The Caraval" Crap never happened the first one. WHY THE HELL IS THIS STORYLINE HERE? I hate that little girl. NO REASON WHY SHE'S THERE. Too Babyish sometimes. Not as babyish as Bambi II though. Positives: I admit I had some fun watching this. Dixie and cash is the only new character I like in this sequel. Animation is VERY good. There is a lot of problems but it's sort of better then Bambi II. So I guess that's a plus.

Anaiyak As far as my experience with certain Disney sequels I was prepared for either success or failure. I got somewhere in the middle, the animation was lively and the acting good, but in the spirit of the original I didn't think it was quite there. The story failed to elaborate in relation to the original, unlike Bambi II which pulled it with surprising success. Having watched Bambi II I was very much expecting to see something of the same caliber, but this fell a little short. Too many new characters were introduced and several of the old characters didn't even merit a cameo appearance which was a little disappointing.However, the movie still had it's fair share of cute moments to make you giggle, which was one of it's saving graces. The animation is at a great standard and no obvious flaws to spot and was casted reasonably well. I was concerned when the cover said "The music of today's hottest stars is centre stage" which sounded like a poor effort to grab the attention of any mainstream dolt, but the soundtrack wasn't too bad and had me tapping my toes in a few places.From the point of view of a Disney cartoon it was a little under powered but it's still got some good laughs and pleasant moments, but don't go expecting the repeat success of the original.
