That's really cool man! I honestly do understand that with every movie, there are genuinely talented and passionate people who work on it and I'm happy that you're proud of this movie. It just wasn't for me in the end but I sincerely hope things worked out for you after it.
@@noahbossier1131 it shows that they really rushed this movie for a deadline in the end, some frames look great and others look like dookie. Imo they could have done better but budget and time was it's downfall, plus it really needed a better script.
Why did they make Red into a cat? They could have literally made him into a HELLHOUND, because dogs have an a connection to the underworld in various myths. Hell in the cartoon series, Anabelle has a sister who is a hellhound! Wow!
Maybe because there might be too many cat haters in film industry, idk, if you think about it there are too many good dog characters and feline villains, even the mice get to be the good/main characters even if in real life many people wouldn't even tolerate them around. Red would've been a very cool looking hellhound though, would had made much more sense.
I like that at least this film doesn't bring back Anne Marie like the land before time sequels did like Judith Barsi didn't exist. Thanks for looking at a movie you know you hate. I'm always grateful to you for things like that
I mean you can say Annabelle probably sent Charlie back to the real world permanently because letting him back after what he did with the horn is untrustworthy.
Why reward him, though? You would think he would either be made to stay in Heaven forever or join Carface in Hell forever. Maybe she just likes him, I dunno.
My argument as to why Annabelle was duped by Charlie in the first film even tho heaven allegedly knows everything, IS because heaven knows everything, and was likely testing Charlie. Remember, Annabelle didn't see any "goodness or loyalty" when going through Charlie's life. After stealing the the watch, it was pretty much up to Charlie to finally prove himself. Continue his life of sin with his one way ticket to hell, or do SOME good in his second chance of living to show heaven he's worthy of returning. It's VERY likely Charlie wasn't the first to restart his life clock especially since the clock section of heaven doesn't appear to be guarded and all the clocks are just floating freely. (The clocks as a whole could be a test of temptation, either accept you've died and spend eternity in peace, or reject heaven and risk hell in favor of continuing a mortal existence) Anyways, with that in mind, it still doesn't excuse the reason for this movie's conflict.
its pretty much imply by the line in the song " Let Me Be Surprised": when they want his signature for the records anabell say: everthing that was , or will be was right here. But Heaven was a permament stargation. There is nothing that "will be" in the future... unless she know he will steal that watch and save that girl. She let charly steal the watch and rewind it. becaus she know his story was not over.
Here's a better plot. Charlie and Itchy are both it Heaven at the start, time frame is still the same. Charlie is still bored of the place and causes mischief getting him and Itchy into trouble. As punishment he is to act as a guardian angel with his friend there as his voice of reason, and had his one miracle. He appears om earth visible and physical to mortals so no dumb magic collars. His charge is still David, let's say he's Anne Marie's grandson and like her can talk to animals, he is still runaway and has Sahsa. (Whith that in mind why not have Anne Marie ask Charlie and Itchy to be guardian angels to her grandson) Meanwhile Carface was unable to redeem himself and is in you know where. Upon hearing Charlie is on earth, he makes a deal with the devils cat, if he can get Charlie to take his spot on hell he can go back to earth. D.C wants Charlie because he's a soul who got away. Upon discovering David being Anne Marie's grandson Carface has more plans for him than just bait. (Throughout their time on earth Charlie and Itchy keep getting whiffs of a familiar smell, but can't quite place it, the smell being Carfaces cigars.) The climax still happens at Alcatraz. Carface gives Charlie a deal, You take my place in Hell and I'll let the boy go (didn't say when). Charlie sets a term, David can't get hurt. And makes the deal, and a portal to hell starts to open, the little imp deamons from the nightmare sequence climb out. He finds out Carface won't set David free yet, he fights him ans the imps, David gets hurt as parts of Alcatraz start to collapse breaking the contract. Charlie after Carface is dragged back down, uses his miracle to save David. In the end David goes home, Itchy returns in heaven and Charlie stays on earth to look after David and be with Sasha. Rereading this I'm noticing spelling errors, blame auto correct being the b@#% it usually is to me and the fact this was written late at night and I was tired. When I was spelling auto correct the damn thing put autism in place of auto.
If I had a nickel for everytime Charlie Sheen voiced a talking dog in a bizarrely messy animated movie, I’d have two nickels. That isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
Biggest critique of the film for me, and I don’t understand why they did it, but they killed my favourite character. Gordon Feetman. They did him dirty at the end.
I like the first All dogs go to heaven despite its numerous flaws, but I just could not stand All dogs go to heaven to upon first viewing, I was blown back by the different voice actors and downgraded animation and even Don Bluth himself denounced this movie when animat asked him his opinion when all sequels made of his work?! That's saying a lot.. But this wasn't made by the same company that made the first All dogs go to heaven so I like to consider it non-canon.
And even then the first was just a great movie, just a masterpiece in my opinion, maybe that’s saying a bit too much, but still, good characters, good songs, good animation, good concept and especially good villain, plus it really pulls on your heartstrings at times, especially with that ending.
One thing I didn't get is why Charlie didn't send Itchy back to Heaven with Gabriel's horn to begin with. Sure, it was his responsibility, but here's the thing: ITCHY WENT WITH HIM!! Why didn't he just send his pal there with a message to Annabelle, that way he wouldn't have to deal with the Devil's pet?
Charlie and Red are also really off-model when the latter first reveals his true form to the former; it basically looks like the moment in "Mulan 2" that everyone makes a meme out of
I kinda wished we could've just focus more on Anne Marie and her family Instead of they didn't due to oblivious reason. (Who I still sorry for and still cry about and still feel sorry for the poor girl and hope that abusive jerk Is still rotting In Hell torment each day until he's nothing but not empty shell along with all the other abusers) but still It could've been worse and this was obliviously met to promote the TV Series later on and not only that If this thing ever get rebooted up there with the newer line of Don Bluth's Live Action Reboot (because Disney's doing It when to this one as well), I still wish the best of luck for Bluth although if he was still In charge of this sequel he easily would've retooled or rejected It for cashing In on his frame. My guilty pleasure Is the songs that I actually like even to this day Is "It's Too Heavenly Here" (and compare It to Sonic Unleashed's Main Theme you'll might get a hidden riff of the beginning part there) "I'll Always Be With You All" (which always gets me teary eye for and saving for a special girlfriend to meet someday and share a duet with), and finally "Easy Street" (where me and my friends from my childhood played our own "Ed Edd N' Eddy" styled roles).
Something I thought of while I was watching this review. Picture this; Because of Charlie’s past with Carface you could of had Charlie resentful and distrustful of Carface redemption. Later on in the beginning of the film we see Carface accidentally lose the horn. Why didn’t they just have Carface trick Annabelle to send him to earth to retrieve the horn. Charlie or itchy could find the pin Carface used to steal the horn and realise that Carface was the one that stole the Horn and decided to leave heaven to get it back.
That would have been so much better than what we got. Carface was a completely different character in this film, completely unlike his insane, growly-voiced, cigar-chomping, manipulating self and was just reduced to being a dumb comic-relief. And Charlie just retreaded the same character growth, but watered-down and was irredeemable in this movie. Instead of having Charlie be the one to trick the angel whippet into sending him to Earth to retrieve Gabriel's Horn, that should have been Carface. Then Charlie and Itchy would have to go to Earth to stop him. Seriously, that would have made more sense with the continuity of the first film. Because why would Charlie be all buddy-buddy and trusting of Carface after everything the guy did to him, Itchy, and Anne-Marie in the last movie? The dude tried to kill him THREE TIMES, attacked his best friend, and nearly tried to steal back Anne-Marie again ffs.
Call it blind nostalgia, but I have a soft spot in my heart & childhood for this movie because I remember getting a free DVD from Pizza Hut of the movie. This was way back I wanna say during "Accelerated Reader" or "AR" also called..."Book It!" basically it was some reading program where if you went into Pizza Hut with proof of reading a lot of books, you got a free personal pizza. I know 90s kids like myself will have flashbacks! I got my little sausaga pizza and the All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 DVD and still have the disc to this day.
I have a really strangely similar story to you??? My family went to Pizza Hut when I was 8 and I remember got a sausage pizza, then we went to a thrift store and it was there, on the shelf. I had the first movie so I really wanted it. My mom got it for me and I was so excited to watch it after school the next day. Well, I was in luck, because late that night I woke up puking. Got to stay home and watch it that morning! I loved it as a kid so much. I watched it all the time.
I grew up watching this movie. Basically had it on repeat. Initially bought it because I had mistaken it for the original (which I absolutely love). That said, despite its many flaws (more than I realized upon watching this video) I still enjoy it. Most likely due to heavy nostalgia and the catchy songs. Although I will say, it did always bother me that Anne-Marie was never mentioned despite her seemingly having made a very strong impression on Charlie in the first movie, and Itchy basically being her pet (presumably) for the remainder of his life. But, yeah, your video was very entertaining and eye opening as a fan of this movie.
The kid was really boring in this movie. He looked too nice, brave, polite. He has no flaws and his situation was not that sad. He's upset because his father marries another women, this sucks but it's not dramatic. Anne-marie was an orphan AND was treated as an object by an evil dog. Carface never feed her, i doubt that glasses dog did it often. She was alone untill she met Charlie, later she got sick and almost DIE! This little girl had a tragic story. All i wanted was to see Anne-marie happy! I didn't cared at all about the new kid. The boy complains about his step-mother or talked about his magic tricks. That's it! This character was not interresting 😐
Rewatch update: Okay I know I’m going to get an endless amount of flak for this but I was rewatching both ADGTH 1 and 2 with one of my friends a few days ago and honestly…I gravitated more towards ADGTH 2 than the original. But I loved both films almost as equally and can definitely say I liked them more as an adult than as a kid. I think the main reasons why I liked the 2nd film more were because I loved the songs and music more, the film as a whole was charming and not too difficult to follow, the pacing didn’t feel rushed at all, and I think I got a nice feeling of satisfaction in the end that I didn’t get as much with the original. Still adore the original though and it still remains to be one of my all-time favorite movies along with the sequel!
"Charile does one nice thing and she's in love." That's not as unrealistic as you think. That's extremely common in real life. It's the foundation of an abusive relationship. Also, you're using the term "plot hole" incorrectly. A plot contrivance, like heaven having a payphone to hell, is not a plot hole, no matter how stupid and obviously contrived it is. A plot hole is specifically when the events of a story directly contradictions its own established rules or events.
Funny, cause Sasha is a complete b*.ch in the series (pardon the pun) which is even worse than this btw. She's split up with charlie and is constantly being "flirty" with him in one episode and being snooty in the next. Charlie, you can do better. Lmao
I think "badly written cliche" works too. Cliches often work hand in hand with plot holes though because of all the "shorthand" used. (Male+female share screen time=romance) Depending on the amount of details it could be just cliche, plot hole, or both But yeah, low standard romance can happen...but usually that relationship does not last.
I remember watching All Dogs 2 alot as a kid. But looking at it now, it's clear the filmmakers didn't understand why the 1st is a better film... Side Note: Went to see Sonic 2, and it was a blast!!!
Time in heaven .. obviously made Charlie rusty . 1930's Charlie probably would have had the horn fast ... if wasn't for the need of a collar.. he probably would have went running around stealing things by using it.
I think this movie suffered through a massively rushed production and problems. MGM would not bludge on the release date despite not having that much time. Orginally this film was being animated at Screen Magic Animation which was the former Bluth Ireland studio but that studio closed halfway through production resulting in the animation having to be farmed out all over from Denmark to Australia Canada and Taiwan to get the film ready. There were very talented animators and artists working on the film many of whom worked for bluth and would later work for Disney and WB and other studios.
About the animation though, it actually had a little done by the re-named Don Bluth(Screen Animation ltd in Ireland) studios. They shut down in late October-November of 1995 tho they dissolved in 1999. Most of the animation was outsourced to other studios(Including one from the director of Shark Tale, no joke), which is why it looks shoddy and inconsistent. Two of which worked on the animated series.
I listened to an interview with Larry Leker, who is one of the credited co-directors of All Dogs 2, and worked on the original All Dogs as well as several Bluth, Disney and Dreamworks films. When it came out, he didn't see the film but his young nephew did, who asked him "don't they have someone who checks these films before they come out?", and Larry said "yes they do, but they fired that person, and that was me".
@@graylykan2739 I listened to the Podcast version, but it looks like there is a UA-cam version as well. It's with The Animation Guild, if you Google Lary Leker Animation Guild you'll find it. The Guild site has a lot of interviews with US animators who have worked in the industry over the years.
Even when I was younger and watched the movie often, I was put off by how much of a creep Charlie was towards Sasha. Itchy was the only character I really liked in this particular movie
ADGTH and ADGTH 2 were a part of my childhood, and I still love the first one. I can see where the critics come from, but it will not take away my appreciation of ADGTH (then again, I'm a weirdo who loves Titan A.E. too, for example). ADGTH 2, on the other hand, hoo boy, I am able to cast away my rose tinted glasses with that one. One of the only things I can give it credit for is that Finnish versions of the songs It Feels So Good To Be Bad and I Will Always Be With You are my guilty pleasures.
I know that Secret of NIMH 2 sucked, as did a lot of the land before time sequels, but, they at least ACKNOWLEDGED the events of their predecessors and tried to follow the same timeliness. With this, it has nothing to do with the original. Not the same setting, and no mention of characters like Anne Marie and Killer. It's so different that it's to the point where it doesn't need to be a sequel to ADGH. It could have just been it's own original movie.
I honestly hate sequels like this that completely neglect the original and rinse and repeat of what we saw in the original, and that's exactly what we see happen here. Not only is this a complete disrespect to the original but it completely makes the efforts of those who did that original piece seem completely pointless. By the way, you just gained yourself another subscriber.
I feel like the best way to go about the first movie's plot hole of "No surprises." Would have been for Anabelle to know Charlie would try and succeed in rewinding his watch. So they should of had her make comments on his bad decisions and allude to second chances to make things right, show how Charlie may be one of the only dogs they may not go to heaven and her wanting to try and help him without purposefully causing it. So at the end of the first movie she reveals she knew all along what charlie would rewind his watch and she could say he got his second chance to be a better dog and secure a spot in heaven.
10:15 Looking at his part pointing out wreck it ralph and hating the sequel after watching the second one worked more as it had Ralph got the approval and respect he wanted and didn't want to ruin his new life but we saw how due to not wanting to ruin it made some costly mistakes like giving Vanellope a new race track on super rush without realizing if it was a good idea or not and having mixed feelings about Slaughter Race world and wanting Vanellope somewhere safe is him trying to do the right thing without giving Shank and her grew a chance and him seeing his actions have done showed him well he got what he wanted from the first game his biggest fear was letting go of the only person who was good to him
Fun fact Charlie's singing voice was provided by Jesse Corti whose best known as the voice of Gaston's sidekick LeFou from Disney's Beauty and the Beast
It killed continuity. The first takes place in 1939. It likewise was kind of based in reality for how the world worked. In two its 1995 and itchy JUST died. So a dog lived for over 50 years....? I hate this movie.
It tickles me to watch this movie now and actually being aware of who George Hearn is. He was the best part of the movie and I love the little Sweeney Todd reference that they snuck into "Feels So Good to Be Bad".
I remember as a kid not liking ADGTH2 but i never knew why. My main gripe was Charlie not acknowledging Anne-Marie (Although i understand now, RIP). I also never liked the kid
You know what would have been a more interesting story for the second movie Have it be set during the second world war.with the son of Charlie or a decadent of Charlie be a war dog and have itchy be the father figure begin guided by the spirit of Charlie to watch over him and give him wisdom and then we can add careface son in the film who is begin manipulated and taken over by red yah know have it be tied together rather years apart with no continuity
As someone who loved the first movie, Your criticisms are so goddamn valid of both of them. The second movie was unwatchable for me, I could not get past the 20 minute mark, of just how awful it was, And this review made me so glad that I didn't keep going on Tubi. On top of the movies bad charms, I also had the fact that I absolutely hated Charlie Sheen's voice coming out of Charlie (the dog) because it confused the hell out of me. Burt Reynolds playing Charlie? You had a slick and sneaky character with a little bit of charm to try to manipulate, Which is what the movie goes for. Charlie Sheen in this movie just sounds like a father who wants to pick up his kids from daycare, annoying me to the fact that I tried to watch the movie in a different language but then found out that the Japanese version of the movie's lost media so this movie can just die in a hole
At the end of the first movie when Carface found his clock. Anabelle:"Touch that clock and you can't come back." Carface:"Shut up." Anabelle:"I SAID TOUCH THAT CLOCK AND YOU CAN'T COME BACK!" Charlie:"He will be back." This gonna be my head cannon on why carface is in the heaven in the beginning of the 2nd movie. First let us say he did go back to life again, because he was inside the Gator he died again, but this time he was sent to hell where he met Red for the first time. Carface would made a deal with Red to help him to take over the Heaven if Red would revive him back from the dead. After be alive again Carface would probably go back to his old place, but here is two things that could happend basedcon how long time Carface was in Hell for the first time. 1st.Not so long time in hell: He would open his Dog Casino again but because he can't longer use Anne Marie he loses everything. 2nd.Long time in Hell: He would find that his Casino Place is just in ruins after years to be inactive. After he and Red plans on how they would get the Gabriel's horn, but they both know he can't return to heaven unless he shown that he has become a good dog. Some years go by and Carface dies again, but this time he stays in heaven so he can learn about the horn and the location and all information he tells red by useing the phone booth. Under some few years before the 2nd movie starts Carface tries everything so he could get a Dog Heaven Medal.
This movie was playing on loop at my old job for several months in a row and it absolutely enraged me by the time they finally changed the vhs. So glad to see it finally getting the hate it deserves
Holy crap....... Never expect you to hate All Dogs 2 and I can understand your hatred and problems with it. I can acknowledge it's flaws, but it's more of a guilty pleasure of mine. I somehow find charm in it and could've been better..... And it is a rehash of the first film, but I still love the first film, so I have watch the two films back then. But to be fair, I have seen worse sequels and other stuff. (I perfer All Dogs 2 over disappointing crap like RWBY Vol 8 or Sonic Forces.) Since you like Itchy, and haven't seen the TV series yet (you may like it better than the films) as he is still the best character and got himself a girlfriend named Bess and has an episode how he meet Charlie. He even manage to call out Charlie and Sasha for their BS in the Perfect Dog episode. (Oh and Killer is in it, with Carface as those two are trouble and work for an evil dog named Belladoona, Annebella's cousin, only in 3 episodes and the Christmas movie) Look forward to your Kid Cosmic review as I feel you should review the whole series instead of one per season which are short each.
George Hearn was also in the original Broadway production of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street". In his song number he shaves Carface with a razor similar to the ones Sweeney Todd used. Also unrelated to this movie, but Angela Lansbury, the voice of Mrs. Potts in "Beauty and the Beast", was also in the original Broadway production of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street".
I might have repressed the memory of watching this movie cuz I suddenly got the weirdest sense of deja vu when the scene where Charlie tried to get into the police station with the kid pretending to be blind. But everything else still appears unfamiliar to me. I enjoyed the first movie when I watched it as a kid and I guess watching it again after losing your own dog is just a recipe for tears. But I still enjoyed watching it and seeing that sequel... I am glad I don't remember it if I did watch it
The problem I have with Charlie is he gets completely reset and makes everything in the first movie meaningless. He is just going to die again and get bored of heaven and fuck up for all eternity? As a kid I was upset he couldn't stay with Ann Marie but he got to stay with this kid and generic love interest. That emotional goodbye feels cheap when you know charlie complete forgot about her and everything he learned.
You basically summed up everything that I dislike about this movie. Because it retcons Charlie's character development, it cheapens the ending of the original film and makes his redemption-arc at the end meaningless. I would have liked it if he and Itchy had been sent to Earth to stop Carface (who was so out-of-character in this film he may as well have been Killer, like why?) and Charlie's motivation to not want to return to Heaven immediately should have been wanting to help the new kid character to make up for what he did to Anne-Marie while he was alive.
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was five. I have always been a huge Don Bluth fan and I absolutely loved All fogs to Heaven so my Mom surprised me and my Sister by taking us to see the sequel. And I remember being hyped up as hell but we get there we watch and it wasn’t even close to being a good movie.
Yeah... this one is awful. The soundtrack is the only saving grace, but not by much. At least NIMH 2 could've had a better plot to have been a lot more interesting & built on the legacy of the Brisby family (of both their life-saving parents; heck, I would've been down for one that focused on the brothers and the whole 'prophecy' thing, since it NEVER SAID WHICH BROTHER... but eh, I'm no Hollywood writer), but THIS? Nah... a better plot couldn't save this heck-on-earth story, especially with the main lead, the setting change... and mainly all the time-twisting & plotholes that it caused. ...Just wait until the TV series & All Dogs Christmas Carol. It gets SO MUCH WORSE.
I do agree that All Dogs 2 is bad, but Secret Of Nimh 2 is FAR worse. I'll take a stupid, plot-hole-ridden mess over a cynical cash grab, that ignores and retcons everything from the previous movie, and is the epitome of "KIDS ARE JUST STUPID BABIES WHO WANT PRETTY COLORS! GOO GOO GAH GAH!"
The voice for Flo (the dog with all the puppies) was actually married to the voice of Charlie (Burt Reynolds.) They were married a year before the movie was out, and in '93 they started a divorce which was very public, messy, and ended up lasting until a year before his death in 2018.
That poster in the thumbnail should become a meme. All jokes aside, I really, really wanted to like this film ever since I first saw it, but I just can't. And you do a great job of telling us why!
I saw this movie as a kid with a daycare group I was with in theaters. As a child I loved it, as an adult it’s pretty bad. What can I say? Little kid me (and kids in general) love animated talking animals.
Seeing Raisor this mad is actually terrifying and makes me legitimately uncomfortable. I can feel the genuine anger and rage in his voice and also the fact my hearing may possibly be gone if I tried listening with headphones. Great video otherwise. The opening gag was pretty funny honestly.
10:13 to 12:36 - It's like Rich Moore and and the writers (Jennifer Lee and Phil Johnston) actually saw AGDTH 2, and wanted to make a rewrite on the film (while mixing it with video game themes and original characters).
Totally agree with everything you've said on this movie. Even when I was a kid and didn't know any better about writing, I had SOOOO many questions!!! But what I love most is George Hearn's song with the reference to Sweeney Todd!! If you haven't heard his recordings from that show, you should! It's fantastic!
Funny enough I saw this movie before the original one when I was little on tv. My dad recorded it for me. I ended up buying the original on dvd and actually won the this movie’s dvd in some prize giveaway with Pizza Hut I think. I liked the sequel mostly cuz I loved Sasha’s solo in the club and her as the love interest. To be fair I was 6 the first time I saw this. At 28 and learning about animation I see how many mistakes were made and left it the film and….it’s embarrassing. Still this movie makes me feel nostalgic
By the way Raisor, I rewatched the fight against Red and I don't think it was the horn that sent him back to Hell, but during the fight scene when Charlie climbs the water tower and Red follows him. He gets splashed with a whole load of water and I guess he's weak to water and that caused him to get sent back. Although, that makes as much sense as the horn that you described.
literally a month since making this video, and you have already nearly tripled that 5k milestone, pretty impressive, shows that both the algorithm and youtube viewers enjoy your videos
Yeah, it was a okay film and the soundtrack was actually good. But, Charlie decisions would have a more punishment for all the bad choices. 1. Annabelle would quickly take him back to heaven or simply ban him from heaven until he did his task. Also, doesn't being a spirit sense other evil souls nearby? 2. Red would have quickly exposed by Annabelle the moment he talked to Carface and prevent many things from happening. 3. Carface would have a mark of the beast, which Charlie would straight up see the warning and leave. Plus, Charlie can return to heaven and Carface would be unable to enter heaven. The weirdest decision the movie didn't do... David is probably desperate to get his mother back by any means and Charlie would have to save him during the climax David seem more likely to fall for Red's deal like bringing his mom back. But, Red bring his mom back along with the dog angels lock in one of prison cells. Maybe teaching David to move on and do better in life? Something like that. 7:40 Yeah, that Horn wouldn't be easy to steal and God sees everything. Big plot there. 7:47 No. His wings are gone the moment he attempts to leaves with the Gabriel Horn. He be falling from the sky and banned from Heaven with a mark of a fallen angel symbol. 8:11 As laid-back heaven looks, where are the Archangels or angel like guards? Heck, Red could've given Carface a Lucifer cloak of invisibility in order to steal the horn quietly? 8:34 A automatic nope. Itchy would made more sense to prove himself and Charlie request to tagalong with his friend. 9:28 Charlie should've gotten a medal for good dog of saving child and at act more responsible than being reckless again. Carface should be the only one besides Itchy, not having the heaven Medal. But, Annabelle would punish Charlie to follow Itchy command as good measure to prevent mistakes like a electric zap if Charlie tries anything sinful without a good reason. 14:00 Don't worry about that, RaisorBlade. If the film or TV series have bad writing it will either crash with terrible ratings or be completely forgotten. 22:20 Magic or animation error? At least the villain actually looks good in film. 23:00 Yikes, that's a bad move for a theater release. 27:40 That would be awesome and too bad it never happened. 27:50 How you the leader of Dog heaven again? Bad move to choose Charlie. 28:25 Nah, he been in limbo and walking around on Earth unable to do anything as his punishment for at least 50 years. Better than sent to hell and worst being alive. 10:14 Wreck It should've stayed as a stand alone film, it felt like all the issues of the film was resolved. A animated series of the film could've work better and given more freedom of creating more parody games.
Here is what I would have done: 1: Set the film in the mid or late 1940's. Then we aren't awkwardly setting it 50 or 60 years after the first one. 2: Since Charlie learned his lesson about caring for others, Charlie would volunteer to go look for the horn, only to get sidetracked into helping the new kid character. NOT because he didn't want to return to Heaven because he found it boring (since he already went through that in the "Let Me Be Surprised" number), but because he wants to make up for what he did to Anne-Marie. 3: Make Red a hellhound, not a demonic cat, since making the villain a cat would be alienating to cat-lovers. 4: INCLUDE KILLER. Killer was the comic in the last movie, NOT CARFACE. Carface was a completely different character in this film, completely unlike his insane, growly-voiced, smug, sadistic, psychopathic, manipulating self in the first movie. Why dumb-down an established character when you already HAVE a comic relief character at your disposal?? 5: Include Flo, the rough Collie and Charlie's love-interest in the last movie. Because why include a new love-interest when you already have one at your disposal? Build on her and Charlie's relationship and maybe even include a bit of backstory for her. Having her be the one to take in David actually makes sense with her character, since she took care of the orphaned puppies at the old church, and maybe she took care of them and David because she herself was orphaned as a pup too? 6: Include the bloody watch department, since the interesting concept of Earth life being tied to a clock ticking away was just suddenly nonexistent in this film. And 7: Have Charlie reunite with an older Anne-Marie at the end. ... Yeah, this movie was utter trash. The first film was NOT a perfect movie by any means, but it does hold a special place in my heart in spite of its flaws. It deserved a sequel that was an improvement over the original, not a trainwreck like THIS. I already said plenty of my opinions about it on AniMat's review, but I was surprised to see that you pointed out a lot of how I feel about it. XD From the messed up time period, to Charlie's irredeemable asshole behavior and complete lack of care for Anne-Marie (despite the major impact she had on his life/afterlife at the end of the first film), to his sexual-assault on Sasha and how problematic and forced their relationship was, to him being given a second chance back on Earth despite never having to EARN it, to the sudden reappearance of Itchy's collar in the climax despite we never SAW him get his collar back, etc. I wouldn't be surprised either if NONE of the people that worked on this film watched the original. Balto 2's director didn't bother watching the first Balto movie, so I wouldn't be surprised. If they didn't, it baffles my mind as to why not, since sequels are supposed to be CONTINUATIONS of the first installment, not RETREADS. That would actually explain why this film is an utter mess.
Yes. That's my main gripe with the sequel. The awkward time jump from 1939 to 1997, making Itchy over 60 years old. A 40s-themed movie would've made much more sense, like the boy would be lonely because his parents were too busy doing work for the war effort, or the father being in the service. Killer being absent is another disservice to the original. Charles Nelson Reilly clearly enjoyed voicing him (they even made him kinda look like Reilly with the huge oversized glasses). While recasting Carface was necessary due to Vic Tayback's death, the other replacements were downright awful. Charlie Sheen doesn't even compare to Burt Reynolds. Even Steven Weber was better than Sheen (Weber was the voice in the TV series. And at least Killer was in that, with Reilly reprising the role).
Oh yeah, this is a movie. I bought this movie on DVD for 50c at a thrift shop because I had never seen it before. Turned it off within 20 minutes, and felt sad I spent 50 cents on it.
2:00 Cheese and Crackers! When will people EVER learn to respectfully disagree? I disagree with you about the original All Dogs Go to Heaven, but, I respect your opinion because you gave out constructive criticism instead of spitting out stupid bullshit, like that Tumblr person did about Lilo and Stitch.
@@tylerfish2701 well, like I said, we now live in a world where only people that are positive can voice their opinions. And apparently if someone finds another someone who doesn’t like the stuff they like, they insult them. Take the obsessive fans of Adventure Time and Regular Show. If they find someone who dislikes either of these shows, regardless of whether or not they like other modern cartoons, their go-to defense was calling the other person a nostalgiatard.
Hoo, boy. I reviewed this movie 10 years ago. Let me say, it's a tough one to review. The movie grew on me (for...obvious reasons) but I still don't really like it. So before watching the full review, I wish you luck.
I get why the first movie is better, and yet I still really like this one. Plotholes be damned. The songs slapped really hard for me as a kid and they still do. Still kind of curious about the internal production of this, and wasn't this one pushed back from its original release date because it was up against Balto?
All Dogs Go To Heaven is one of my all-time favorite movies and I'm gonna be real...I loved the sequel as much as the original. It's definitely a movie that I like but most people seem to dislike. I respect your opinion though. This movie will always hold a special place in my heart though.
To all of those critics that compared the original "All Dogs Go To Heaven" to Disney's "The Little Mermaid," they probably should've used that to describe the sequel. Because ADgtH 2 is basically ripping off "The Little Mermaid" more so than the first one did. Just think about it: *The main character (Ariel & Charlie) is tried of their safe & boring homeland, and wants something more exciting & new. *The protagonist falls in love with a mortal (Eric & Sasha), and desperately wants to have them no matter what. *Protagonist gets tricked by the villain/s (Ursula, Carface, and Red) to give up something of their's for the mortal they love. *There's a time limit for the protagonist to use that spell/magic item they got from the villain, and specifically ends at sunset. *The protagonist goes to a lively town center during the middle part. *At one point the protagonist & their mortal love interest were about to kiss at sunset, but then it's too late & the affects of the spell/item faded away. *The climax at the near end has the villain gaining an important Mcguffin (the triton & Gabriel's horn), rendering the powerful being/s (King Triton & Annabelle) helpless, grow to gigantic size, and created a whirlpool. *Villain gets defeated by the same Mcguffin & [the Mcguffin] sets everyone free from their prisons and/or cursed forms. *Despite causing most of the trouble, the protagonist gets rewarded in the end by getting what they want (Triton makes Ariel be a full fledged human, and Annabelle makes Charlie mortal again). *The protagonist's friend/s stays in the place [the protagonist] didn't want (Sebastian& Flounder return to the sea, and Itchy gets to stay in Heaven) & they have their heartfelt goodbyes. *The movie ends with the protagonist & love interest finally kissing each other, as the grand finale/reprise of the "I Want" song is being sung. Heck, even David might as well be a younger male human version of Ariel as well. Red hair, blue eyes, runs/swims away from home after an argument with parental figure, doesn't care if parent/s worry about them, and thinks they'll make it in life easier at a certain location.
If I was to rewrite this movie, the mid of Arc II where Charlie realize he will have to go back to heaven and it would not allow him to be with David anymore deeply upsets him, could had been better if he confides with Sasha who go check and try to cheer him up he tells her about the time with Anne Marie, and that it feel like dejavu as he once again have to leave another kid he grown attached too etc. Sasha sympathy with this and Charlie also make the comment I don't know if he was directing it towards her or to David but he says something "And just when I found someone special" it would had just worked way better in my opinion to signify why he liked her and why he tried hard to get her to like him. She would had understand I don't think or felt that was justified. The character growth amongst the cast was whack, and no real concrete goals.
Why did this get a theatrical release? None of the Land Before Time sequels did and The Land Before Time was way more popular than All Dogs Go To Heaven. The first movie in this franchise wasn't even very popular to begin with
I storyboarded on this movie. I am very proud of it.....but I do like your videos. (:
That's really cool man! I honestly do understand that with every movie, there are genuinely talented and passionate people who work on it and I'm happy that you're proud of this movie. It just wasn't for me in the end but I sincerely hope things worked out for you after it.
Great job Larry.
Oh man, this makes the joke that he made years ago in the Pocahontas Review about "Larry, you idiot!!" even funnier!! 😂😂😂
I agree There is some pretty good parts like some of the animation and some good parts
@@noahbossier1131 it shows that they really rushed this movie for a deadline in the end, some frames look great and others look like dookie. Imo they could have done better but budget and time was it's downfall, plus it really needed a better script.
Why did they make Red into a cat? They could have literally made him into a HELLHOUND, because dogs have an a connection to the underworld in various myths. Hell in the cartoon series, Anabelle has a sister who is a hellhound! Wow!
Because dogs are good and cats are evil.
@@jeremyusreevu237 It's not as clever though. :/
Maybe because there might be too many cat haters in film industry, idk, if you think about it there are too many good dog characters and feline villains, even the mice get to be the good/main characters even if in real life many people wouldn't even tolerate them around. Red would've been a very cool looking hellhound though, would had made much more sense.
@@jeremyusreevu237 wow that bullshit why cam we have a demon flea?
Because All dogs are supposed to go to heaven.
I like that at least this film doesn't bring back Anne Marie like the land before time sequels did like Judith Barsi didn't exist. Thanks for looking at a movie you know you hate. I'm always grateful to you for things like that
Rest in peace.
Itchy should have been promoted to sainthood for not grabbing the horn and bashing Charlie's skull in with it.
Because Charlie treated him like shit, huh?
I mean you can say Annabelle probably sent Charlie back to the real world permanently because letting him back after what he did with the horn is untrustworthy.
Why reward him, though? You would think he would either be made to stay in Heaven forever or join Carface in Hell forever. Maybe she just likes him, I dunno.
It was because he was not ready for Heaven.
Charlie…You can never come back!! You can never come back!!
It can’t be permanent, though. Just until he dies again.
My argument as to why Annabelle was duped by Charlie in the first film even tho heaven allegedly knows everything, IS because heaven knows everything, and was likely testing Charlie. Remember, Annabelle didn't see any "goodness or loyalty" when going through Charlie's life. After stealing the the watch, it was pretty much up to Charlie to finally prove himself. Continue his life of sin with his one way ticket to hell, or do SOME good in his second chance of living to show heaven he's worthy of returning. It's VERY likely Charlie wasn't the first to restart his life clock especially since the clock section of heaven doesn't appear to be guarded and all the clocks are just floating freely. (The clocks as a whole could be a test of temptation, either accept you've died and spend eternity in peace, or reject heaven and risk hell in favor of continuing a mortal existence)
Anyways, with that in mind, it still doesn't excuse the reason for this movie's conflict.
its pretty much imply by the line in the song " Let Me Be Surprised": when they want his signature for the records anabell say: everthing that was , or will be was right here.
But Heaven was a permament stargation. There is nothing that "will be" in the future... unless she know he will steal that watch and save that girl.
She let charly steal the watch and rewind it. becaus she know his story was not over.
Here's a better plot.
Charlie and Itchy are both it Heaven at the start, time frame is still the same.
Charlie is still bored of the place and causes mischief getting him and Itchy into trouble.
As punishment he is to act as a guardian angel with his friend there as his voice of reason, and had his one miracle.
He appears om earth visible and physical to mortals so no dumb magic collars.
His charge is still David, let's say he's Anne Marie's grandson and like her can talk to animals, he is still runaway and has Sahsa. (Whith that in mind why not have Anne Marie ask Charlie and Itchy to be guardian angels to her grandson)
Meanwhile Carface was unable to redeem himself and is in you know where.
Upon hearing Charlie is on earth, he makes a deal with the devils cat, if he can get Charlie to take his spot on hell he can go back to earth. D.C wants Charlie because he's a soul who got away.
Upon discovering David being Anne Marie's grandson Carface has more plans for him than just bait.
(Throughout their time on earth Charlie and Itchy keep getting whiffs of a familiar smell, but can't quite place it, the smell being Carfaces cigars.)
The climax still happens at Alcatraz.
Carface gives Charlie a deal, You take my place in Hell and I'll let the boy go (didn't say when). Charlie sets a term, David can't get hurt. And makes the deal, and a portal to hell starts to open, the little imp deamons from the nightmare sequence climb out.
He finds out Carface won't set David free yet, he fights him ans the imps, David gets hurt as parts of Alcatraz start to collapse breaking the contract.
Charlie after Carface is dragged back down, uses his miracle to save David.
In the end David goes home, Itchy returns in heaven and Charlie stays on earth to look after David and be with Sasha.
Rereading this I'm noticing spelling errors, blame auto correct being the b@#% it usually is to me and the fact this was written late at night and I was tired.
When I was spelling auto correct the damn thing put autism in place of auto.
Not bad as I think this version of All Dogs 2 could work.
If I had a nickel for everytime Charlie Sheen voiced a talking dog in a bizarrely messy animated movie, I’d have two nickels. That isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
No wonder he got into drugs probably to wipe his memory of this and food fight
Honestly I can’t really blame him now. Both of those movies he starred in were disasters
Biggest critique of the film for me, and I don’t understand why they did it, but they killed my favourite character.
Gordon Feetman. They did him dirty at the end.
I imagine anyone with the last name feetman would get done dirty
He was my favourite character. Can’t believe they killed him off here
PFFFFFFT
I was so confused for a minute until I remembered that Gordon dies in All Dogs go to Heaven 2. How could I forget?? It's so emotionally moving.
I like the first All dogs go to heaven despite its numerous flaws, but I just could not stand All dogs go to heaven to upon first viewing, I was blown back by the different voice actors and downgraded animation and even Don Bluth himself denounced this movie when animat asked him his opinion when all sequels made of his work?! That's saying a lot..
But this wasn't made by the same company that made the first All dogs go to heaven so I like to consider it non-canon.
And even then the first was just a great movie, just a masterpiece in my opinion, maybe that’s saying a bit too much, but still, good characters, good songs, good animation, good concept and especially good villain, plus it really pulls on your heartstrings at times, especially with that ending.
Bittersweet endings suck
One thing I didn't get is why Charlie didn't send Itchy back to Heaven with Gabriel's horn to begin with. Sure, it was his responsibility, but here's the thing: ITCHY WENT WITH HIM!! Why didn't he just send his pal there with a message to Annabelle, that way he wouldn't have to deal with the Devil's pet?
That likely would have meant that Anabelle would have made Charlie come back to Heaven since he wouldn't have any reason to be on Earth anymore
The answer is simple.
He had to be a dumbass so the dumb plot could work. 🙄
Its embarrassing when your own team can't keep your character's design correct. The cover has Charlie's snout look like a Subway Sandwich bread
Charlie and Red are also really off-model when the latter first reveals his true form to the former; it basically looks like the moment in "Mulan 2" that everyone makes a meme out of
😂
Fun fact: Subway actually promoted the film with toys. I am telling the truth.
I kinda wished we could've just focus more on Anne Marie and her family Instead of they didn't due to oblivious reason. (Who I still sorry for and still cry about and still feel sorry for the poor girl and hope that abusive jerk Is still rotting In Hell torment each day until he's nothing but not empty shell along with all the other abusers) but still It could've been worse and this was obliviously met to promote the TV Series later on and not only that If this thing ever get rebooted up there with the newer line of Don Bluth's Live Action Reboot (because Disney's doing It when to this one as well), I still wish the best of luck for Bluth although if he was still In charge of this sequel he easily would've retooled or rejected It for cashing In on his frame.
My guilty pleasure Is the songs that I actually like even to this day Is "It's Too Heavenly Here" (and compare It to Sonic Unleashed's Main Theme you'll might get a hidden riff of the beginning part there) "I'll Always Be With You All" (which always gets me teary eye for and saving for a special girlfriend to meet someday and share a duet with), and finally "Easy Street" (where me and my friends from my childhood played our own "Ed Edd N' Eddy" styled roles).
Something I thought of while I was watching this review.
Picture this;
Because of Charlie’s past with Carface you could of had Charlie resentful and distrustful of Carface redemption. Later on in the beginning of the film we see Carface accidentally lose the horn. Why didn’t they just have Carface trick Annabelle to send him to earth to retrieve the horn. Charlie or itchy could find the pin Carface used to steal the horn and realise that Carface was the one that stole the Horn and decided to leave heaven to get it back.
That would have been so much better than what we got. Carface was a completely different character in this film, completely unlike his insane, growly-voiced, cigar-chomping, manipulating self and was just reduced to being a dumb comic-relief. And Charlie just retreaded the same character growth, but watered-down and was irredeemable in this movie. Instead of having Charlie be the one to trick the angel whippet into sending him to Earth to retrieve Gabriel's Horn, that should have been Carface. Then Charlie and Itchy would have to go to Earth to stop him.
Seriously, that would have made more sense with the continuity of the first film. Because why would Charlie be all buddy-buddy and trusting of Carface after everything the guy did to him, Itchy, and Anne-Marie in the last movie? The dude tried to kill him THREE TIMES, attacked his best friend, and nearly tried to steal back Anne-Marie again ffs.
Call it blind nostalgia, but I have a soft spot in my heart & childhood for this movie because I remember getting a free DVD from Pizza Hut of the movie. This was way back I wanna say during "Accelerated Reader" or "AR" also called..."Book It!" basically it was some reading program where if you went into Pizza Hut with proof of reading a lot of books, you got a free personal pizza.
I know 90s kids like myself will have flashbacks! I got my little sausaga pizza and the All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 DVD and still have the disc to this day.
I remember the AR Book Program & the personal pan pizza prize! Though this was back around 2008-2009 or so.
@@lupinsredjacket3191 good times indeed!
I have a really strangely similar story to you??? My family went to Pizza Hut when I was 8 and I remember got a sausage pizza, then we went to a thrift store and it was there, on the shelf. I had the first movie so I really wanted it. My mom got it for me and I was so excited to watch it after school the next day. Well, I was in luck, because late that night I woke up puking. Got to stay home and watch it that morning! I loved it as a kid so much. I watched it all the time.
Same this movie was my childhood.
@@cyberhero5559 way back when was simpler before bills, anxiety and social media haha
As for the whole Itchy dying thing, what if he was in purgatory the last 50-60 years?
I grew up watching this movie. Basically had it on repeat. Initially bought it because I had mistaken it for the original (which I absolutely love). That said, despite its many flaws (more than I realized upon watching this video) I still enjoy it. Most likely due to heavy nostalgia and the catchy songs. Although I will say, it did always bother me that Anne-Marie was never mentioned despite her seemingly having made a very strong impression on Charlie in the first movie, and Itchy basically being her pet (presumably) for the remainder of his life. But, yeah, your video was very entertaining and eye opening as a fan of this movie.
Guess Charlie and Itchy looked like they've moved on from Anne-Marie.
Biggest sin of this movie is getting rid of Charlie's little dimples from the original. It's a tiny detail, but it's so charming.
The kid was really boring in this movie. He looked too nice, brave, polite. He has no flaws and his situation was not that sad. He's upset because his father marries another women, this sucks but it's not dramatic. Anne-marie was an orphan AND was treated as an object by an evil dog. Carface never feed her, i doubt that glasses dog did it often. She was alone untill she met Charlie, later she got sick and almost DIE! This little girl had a tragic story. All i wanted was to see Anne-marie happy!
I didn't cared at all about the new kid. The boy complains about his step-mother or talked about his magic tricks. That's it! This character was not interresting 😐
The fact that this movie has a bigger following than the original one is really bizarre
Seriously?!
It's because of Half Life VR but the AI is self aware
@@verylostdoommarauder how is half life related? Please tell me.
Rewatch update: Okay I know I’m going to get an endless amount of flak for this but I was rewatching both ADGTH 1 and 2 with one of my friends a few days ago and honestly…I gravitated more towards ADGTH 2 than the original. But I loved both films almost as equally and can definitely say I liked them more as an adult than as a kid. I think the main reasons why I liked the 2nd film more were because I loved the songs and music more, the film as a whole was charming and not too difficult to follow, the pacing didn’t feel rushed at all, and I think I got a nice feeling of satisfaction in the end that I didn’t get as much with the original. Still adore the original though and it still remains to be one of my all-time favorite movies along with the sequel!
"Charile does one nice thing and she's in love."
That's not as unrealistic as you think. That's extremely common in real life. It's the foundation of an abusive relationship.
Also, you're using the term "plot hole" incorrectly. A plot contrivance, like heaven having a payphone to hell, is not a plot hole, no matter how stupid and obviously contrived it is. A plot hole is specifically when the events of a story directly contradictions its own established rules or events.
Funny, cause Sasha is a complete b*.ch in the series (pardon the pun) which is even worse than this btw.
She's split up with charlie and is constantly being "flirty" with him in one episode and being snooty in the next.
Charlie, you can do better. Lmao
I think "badly written cliche" works too.
Cliches often work hand in hand with plot holes though because of all the "shorthand" used.
(Male+female share screen time=romance)
Depending on the amount of details it could be just cliche, plot hole, or both
But yeah, low standard romance can happen...but usually that relationship does not last.
Blah blah blah your not a therapist for relationships or a physiologist
@@creaturedomes9364 And how do you know that?
It's extremely likely.
I remember watching All Dogs 2 alot as a kid. But looking at it now, it's clear the filmmakers didn't understand why the 1st is a better film...
Side Note: Went to see Sonic 2, and it was a blast!!!
Time in heaven .. obviously made Charlie rusty . 1930's Charlie probably would have had the horn fast ... if wasn't for the need of a collar.. he probably would have went running around stealing things by using it.
I think this movie suffered through a massively rushed production and problems. MGM would not bludge on the release date despite not having that much time. Orginally this film was being animated at Screen Magic Animation which was the former Bluth Ireland studio but that studio closed halfway through production resulting in the animation having to be farmed out all over from Denmark to Australia Canada and Taiwan to get the film ready. There were very talented animators and artists working on the film many of whom worked for bluth and would later work for Disney and WB and other studios.
This film is the main reason why there is no All Dogs Go to Heaven 3.
Share if you agree.🙂😗☺🙂
About the animation though, it actually had a little done by the re-named Don Bluth(Screen Animation ltd in Ireland) studios. They shut down in late October-November of 1995 tho they dissolved in 1999. Most of the animation was outsourced to other studios(Including one from the director of Shark Tale, no joke), which is why it looks shoddy and inconsistent. Two of which worked on the animated series.
I listened to an interview with Larry Leker, who is one of the credited co-directors of All Dogs 2, and worked on the original All Dogs as well as several Bluth, Disney and Dreamworks films. When it came out, he didn't see the film but his young nephew did, who asked him "don't they have someone who checks these films before they come out?", and Larry said "yes they do, but they fired that person, and that was me".
Where was this interview? Is it on UA-cam or in an article somewhere? I'm interested.
@@graylykan2739 I listened to the Podcast version, but it looks like there is a UA-cam version as well. It's with The Animation Guild, if you Google Lary Leker Animation Guild you'll find it. The Guild site has a lot of interviews with US animators who have worked in the industry over the years.
Even when I was younger and watched the movie often, I was put off by how much of a creep Charlie was towards Sasha. Itchy was the only character I really liked in this particular movie
ADGTH and ADGTH 2 were a part of my childhood, and I still love the first one. I can see where the critics come from, but it will not take away my appreciation of ADGTH (then again, I'm a weirdo who loves Titan A.E. too, for example). ADGTH 2, on the other hand, hoo boy, I am able to cast away my rose tinted glasses with that one. One of the only things I can give it credit for is that Finnish versions of the songs It Feels So Good To Be Bad and I Will Always Be With You are my guilty pleasures.
I know that Secret of NIMH 2 sucked, as did a lot of the land before time sequels, but, they at least ACKNOWLEDGED the events of their predecessors and tried to follow the same timeliness. With this, it has nothing to do with the original. Not the same setting, and no mention of characters like Anne Marie and Killer. It's so different that it's to the point where it doesn't need to be a sequel to ADGH. It could have just been it's own original movie.
I honestly hate sequels like this that completely neglect the original and rinse and repeat of what we saw in the original, and that's exactly what we see happen here. Not only is this a complete disrespect to the original but it completely makes the efforts of those who did that original piece seem completely pointless. By the way, you just gained yourself another subscriber.
I feel like the best way to go about the first movie's plot hole of "No surprises." Would have been for Anabelle to know Charlie would try and succeed in rewinding his watch. So they should of had her make comments on his bad decisions and allude to second chances to make things right, show how Charlie may be one of the only dogs they may not go to heaven and her wanting to try and help him without purposefully causing it.
So at the end of the first movie she reveals she knew all along what charlie would rewind his watch and she could say he got his second chance to be a better dog and secure a spot in heaven.
I feel like this crappy sequel made a mockery of Charlie’s literal deliverance from damnation.
10:15 Looking at his part pointing out wreck it ralph and hating the sequel after watching the second one worked more as it had Ralph got the approval and respect he wanted and didn't want to ruin his new life but we saw how due to not wanting to ruin it made some costly mistakes like giving Vanellope a new race track on super rush without realizing if it was a good idea or not and having mixed feelings about Slaughter Race world and wanting Vanellope somewhere safe is him trying to do the right thing without giving Shank and her grew a chance and him seeing his actions have done showed him well he got what he wanted from the first game his biggest fear was letting go of the only person who was good to him
Fun fact Charlie's singing voice was provided by Jesse Corti whose best known as the voice of Gaston's sidekick LeFou from Disney's Beauty and the Beast
It killed continuity. The first takes place in 1939. It likewise was kind of based in reality for how the world worked. In two its 1995 and itchy JUST died. So a dog lived for over 50 years....? I hate this movie.
EXACTLY as a kid who loved continuity and sequence this movie made me so mad 😭
It tickles me to watch this movie now and actually being aware of who George Hearn is. He was the best part of the movie and I love the little Sweeney Todd reference that they snuck into "Feels So Good to Be Bad".
This movie is an illusion that Charlie had while dying
Michelle had a meltdown in the comments because she can't grasp the concept that her liking something doesn't make it good lmao
Bedtime Stories is really nostalgic for me, but yeah, I agree on the Adam Sandler romance thing.
Had this film on repeat when I was little and I still have such a soft spot for it
I remember as a kid not liking ADGTH2 but i never knew why. My main gripe was Charlie not acknowledging Anne-Marie (Although i understand now, RIP). I also never liked the kid
Why don't you like Anne-Marie?
@@claricethefox7922 i like anne-marie, i never liked the other kid. I can't remember his name
@@IncorrectHB David?
@@claricethefox7922 yes that's his name
You know what would have been a more interesting story for the second movie Have it be set during the second world war.with the son of Charlie or a decadent of Charlie be a war dog and have itchy be the father figure begin guided by the spirit of Charlie to watch over him and give him wisdom and then we can add careface son in the film who is begin manipulated and taken over by red yah know have it be tied together rather years apart with no continuity
I can see it. Return to Neverland did that a bit.
At least characters like Melody and Jane have the excuse if being young kids when the villain manipulates them
As someone who loved the first movie, Your criticisms are so goddamn valid of both of them. The second movie was unwatchable for me, I could not get past the 20 minute mark, of just how awful it was, And this review made me so glad that I didn't keep going on Tubi. On top of the movies bad charms, I also had the fact that I absolutely hated Charlie Sheen's voice coming out of Charlie (the dog) because it confused the hell out of me. Burt Reynolds playing Charlie? You had a slick and sneaky character with a little bit of charm to try to manipulate, Which is what the movie goes for. Charlie Sheen in this movie just sounds like a father who wants to pick up his kids from daycare, annoying me to the fact that I tried to watch the movie in a different language but then found out that the Japanese version of the movie's lost media so this movie can just die in a hole
If heaven is in a time warp that would solve the time issues
At the end of the first movie when Carface found his clock.
Anabelle:"Touch that clock and you can't come back."
Carface:"Shut up."
Anabelle:"I SAID TOUCH THAT CLOCK AND YOU CAN'T COME BACK!"
Charlie:"He will be back."
This gonna be my head cannon on why carface is in the heaven in the beginning of the 2nd movie.
First let us say he did go back to life again, because he was inside the Gator he died again, but this time he was sent to hell where he met Red for the first time. Carface would made a deal with Red to help him to take over the Heaven if Red would revive him back from the dead. After be alive again Carface would probably go back to his old place, but here is two things that could happend basedcon how long time Carface was in Hell for the first time.
1st.Not so long time in hell: He would open his Dog Casino again but because he can't longer use Anne Marie he loses everything.
2nd.Long time in Hell: He would find that his Casino Place is just in ruins after years to be inactive.
After he and Red plans on how they would get the Gabriel's horn, but they both know he can't return to heaven unless he shown that he has become a good dog. Some years go by and Carface dies again, but this time he stays in heaven so he can learn about the horn and the location and all information he tells red by useing the phone booth.
Under some few years before the 2nd movie starts Carface tries everything so he could get a Dog Heaven Medal.
This movie was playing on loop at my old job for several months in a row and it absolutely enraged me by the time they finally changed the vhs. So glad to see it finally getting the hate it deserves
Holy crap....... Never expect you to hate All Dogs 2 and I can understand your hatred and problems with it.
I can acknowledge it's flaws, but it's more of a guilty pleasure of mine. I somehow find charm in it and could've been better..... And it is a rehash of the first film, but I still love the first film, so I have watch the two films back then. But to be fair, I have seen worse sequels and other stuff. (I perfer All Dogs 2 over disappointing crap like RWBY Vol 8 or Sonic Forces.)
Since you like Itchy, and haven't seen the TV series yet (you may like it better than the films) as he is still the best character and got himself a girlfriend named Bess and has an episode how he meet Charlie. He even manage to call out Charlie and Sasha for their BS in the Perfect Dog episode. (Oh and Killer is in it, with Carface as those two are trouble and work for an evil dog named Belladoona, Annebella's cousin, only in 3 episodes and the Christmas movie)
Look forward to your Kid Cosmic review as I feel you should review the whole series instead of one per season which are short each.
George Hearn was also in the original Broadway production of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street". In his song number he shaves Carface with a razor similar to the ones Sweeney Todd used.
Also unrelated to this movie, but Angela Lansbury, the voice of Mrs. Potts in "Beauty and the Beast", was also in the original Broadway production of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street".
I might have repressed the memory of watching this movie cuz I suddenly got the weirdest sense of deja vu when the scene where Charlie tried to get into the police station with the kid pretending to be blind. But everything else still appears unfamiliar to me. I enjoyed the first movie when I watched it as a kid and I guess watching it again after losing your own dog is just a recipe for tears. But I still enjoyed watching it and seeing that sequel... I am glad I don't remember it if I did watch it
The problem I have with Charlie is he gets completely reset and makes everything in the first movie meaningless. He is just going to die again and get bored of heaven and fuck up for all eternity? As a kid I was upset he couldn't stay with Ann Marie but he got to stay with this kid and generic love interest. That emotional goodbye feels cheap when you know charlie complete forgot about her and everything he learned.
I hate Charile, he's such an overrated asshole.
You basically summed up everything that I dislike about this movie. Because it retcons Charlie's character development, it cheapens the ending of the original film and makes his redemption-arc at the end meaningless. I would have liked it if he and Itchy had been sent to Earth to stop Carface (who was so out-of-character in this film he may as well have been Killer, like why?) and Charlie's motivation to not want to return to Heaven immediately should have been wanting to help the new kid character to make up for what he did to Anne-Marie while he was alive.
This sequel made me hate Charlie even more than in movie 1.
But at least I like Itchy more.
I absolutely HATE how they potray the devil as a CAT
Not all cats are evil... they are good as well
It works for the narrative though. The main characters are dogs, so it makes sense that the villain would be their antithesis, namely a cat
@@MorganKing95 but that would imply that all cats go to Hell
I remember seeing this in the theater when I was five. I have always been a huge Don Bluth fan and I absolutely loved All fogs to Heaven so my Mom surprised me and my Sister by taking us to see the sequel. And I remember being hyped up as hell but we get there we watch and it wasn’t even close to being a good movie.
Yeah... this one is awful. The soundtrack is the only saving grace, but not by much.
At least NIMH 2 could've had a better plot to have been a lot more interesting & built on the legacy of the Brisby family (of both their life-saving parents; heck, I would've been down for one that focused on the brothers and the whole 'prophecy' thing, since it NEVER SAID WHICH BROTHER... but eh, I'm no Hollywood writer), but THIS? Nah... a better plot couldn't save this heck-on-earth story, especially with the main lead, the setting change... and mainly all the time-twisting & plotholes that it caused.
...Just wait until the TV series & All Dogs Christmas Carol. It gets SO MUCH WORSE.
I do agree that All Dogs 2 is bad, but Secret Of Nimh 2 is FAR worse. I'll take a stupid, plot-hole-ridden mess over a cynical cash grab, that ignores and retcons everything from the previous movie, and is the epitome of "KIDS ARE JUST STUPID BABIES WHO WANT PRETTY COLORS! GOO GOO GAH GAH!"
Also, why did Annabelle give Carface the badge, when she should've known he was untrustworthy?
Cuz she's too soft for a leader of Heaven, I suppose. 🤷🏻♀️
The voice for Flo (the dog with all the puppies) was actually married to the voice of Charlie (Burt Reynolds.) They were married a year before the movie was out, and in '93 they started a divorce which was very public, messy, and ended up lasting until a year before his death in 2018.
maybe they should've had the movie focus on another dog character because of the timeline pothole
If all dog’s go to heaven, then how do you explain Hell Hounds? 🤔
Why wasn't David in the an all dogs go to heaven Christmas carol
3 things:
1. Can't wait!
2. Timmy To The Rescue is still the worst Don Bluth sequel.
3. So does this mean you'll review An All Dogs Christmas Carol?
That poster in the thumbnail should become a meme.
All jokes aside, I really, really wanted to like this film ever since I first saw it, but I just can't. And you do a great job of telling us why!
I actually just found your channel and it's really cool have fun and I can't wait to see more
Honestly, aside from an awesome villain song, I really have no interest in this movie.
Yeah as much as I dislike this movie I can't deny that the villain song is HEAT🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw this movie as a kid with a daycare group I was with in theaters. As a child I loved it, as an adult it’s pretty bad. What can I say? Little kid me (and kids in general) love animated talking animals.
This rant was a lot of fun. A fun pastime of mine is watching ranters rant on movies they hate because they're so much fun to listen to.
Love the grumpy avatar here. Looks like you had some fun. ^^
I kept repeating the first 16 seconds, it suits the villain perfectly 👍🏼
Dude I totally love your stuff, I would love to make you some proper emoticons of your character
Seeing Raisor this mad is actually terrifying and makes me legitimately uncomfortable.
I can feel the genuine anger and rage in his voice and also the fact my hearing may possibly be gone if I tried listening with headphones.
Great video otherwise. The opening gag was pretty funny honestly.
10:13 to 12:36 - It's like Rich Moore and and the writers (Jennifer Lee and Phil Johnston) actually saw AGDTH 2, and wanted to make a rewrite on the film (while mixing it with video game themes and original characters).
Totally agree with everything you've said on this movie. Even when I was a kid and didn't know any better about writing, I had SOOOO many questions!!!
But what I love most is George Hearn's song with the reference to Sweeney Todd!! If you haven't heard his recordings from that show, you should! It's fantastic!
Funny enough I saw this movie before the original one when I was little on tv. My dad recorded it for me. I ended up buying the original on dvd and actually won the this movie’s dvd in some prize giveaway with Pizza Hut I think. I liked the sequel mostly cuz I loved Sasha’s solo in the club and her as the love interest. To be fair I was 6 the first time I saw this. At 28 and learning about animation I see how many mistakes were made and left it the film and….it’s embarrassing. Still this movie makes me feel nostalgic
WHACK!!!!WHACK!!!!WHACK!!!!WHACK!!!!
Scriptwriter: I'm a woodpecker.....
WHACK!!!!WHACK!!!!WHACK!!!!WHACK!!!!
Scriptwriter: except with plot.
Your videos review are 100% better than nostalgic critic. Also is it possible to do a review Disney’s animated Pinocchio 1940 please.
Maybe Red can see him because he's dead too.
By the way Raisor, I rewatched the fight against Red and I don't think it was the horn that sent him back to Hell, but during the fight scene when Charlie climbs the water tower and Red follows him. He gets splashed with a whole load of water and I guess he's weak to water and that caused him to get sent back. Although, that makes as much sense as the horn that you described.
literally a month since making this video, and you have already nearly tripled that 5k milestone, pretty impressive, shows that both the algorithm and youtube viewers enjoy your videos
Yeah, it was a okay film and the soundtrack was actually good.
But, Charlie decisions would have a more punishment for all the bad choices.
1. Annabelle would quickly take him back to heaven or simply ban him from heaven until he did his task.
Also, doesn't being a spirit sense other evil souls nearby?
2. Red would have quickly exposed by Annabelle the moment he talked to Carface and prevent many things from happening.
3. Carface would have a mark of the beast, which Charlie would straight up see the warning and leave. Plus, Charlie can return to heaven and Carface would be unable to enter heaven.
The weirdest decision the movie didn't do... David is probably desperate to get his mother back by any means and Charlie would have to save him during the climax
David seem more likely to fall for Red's deal like bringing his mom back. But, Red bring his mom back along with the dog angels lock in one of prison cells. Maybe teaching David to move on and do better in life? Something like that.
7:40 Yeah, that Horn wouldn't be easy to steal and God sees everything. Big plot there.
7:47 No. His wings are gone the moment he attempts to leaves with the Gabriel Horn. He be falling from the sky and banned from Heaven with a mark of a fallen angel symbol.
8:11 As laid-back heaven looks, where are the Archangels or angel like guards? Heck, Red could've given Carface a Lucifer cloak of invisibility in order to steal the horn quietly?
8:34 A automatic nope. Itchy would made more sense to prove himself and Charlie request to tagalong with his friend.
9:28 Charlie should've gotten a medal for good dog of saving child and at act more responsible than being reckless again. Carface should be the only one besides Itchy, not having the heaven Medal.
But, Annabelle would punish Charlie to follow Itchy command as good measure to prevent mistakes like a electric zap if Charlie tries anything sinful without a good reason.
14:00 Don't worry about that, RaisorBlade. If the film or TV series have bad writing it will either crash with terrible ratings or be completely forgotten.
22:20 Magic or animation error? At least the villain actually looks good in film.
23:00 Yikes, that's a bad move for a theater release.
27:40 That would be awesome and too bad it never happened.
27:50 How you the leader of Dog heaven again? Bad move to choose Charlie.
28:25 Nah, he been in limbo and walking around on Earth unable to do anything as his punishment for at least 50 years. Better than sent to hell and worst being alive.
10:14 Wreck It should've stayed as a stand alone film, it felt like all the issues of the film was resolved. A animated series of the film could've work better and given more freedom of creating more parody games.
Here is what I would have done:
1: Set the film in the mid or late 1940's. Then we aren't awkwardly setting it 50 or 60 years after the first one.
2: Since Charlie learned his lesson about caring for others, Charlie would volunteer to go look for the horn, only to get sidetracked into helping the new kid character. NOT because he didn't want to return to Heaven because he found it boring (since he already went through that in the "Let Me Be Surprised" number), but because he wants to make up for what he did to Anne-Marie.
3: Make Red a hellhound, not a demonic cat, since making the villain a cat would be alienating to cat-lovers.
4: INCLUDE KILLER. Killer was the comic in the last movie, NOT CARFACE. Carface was a completely different character in this film, completely unlike his insane, growly-voiced, smug, sadistic, psychopathic, manipulating self in the first movie. Why dumb-down an established character when you already HAVE a comic relief character at your disposal??
5: Include Flo, the rough Collie and Charlie's love-interest in the last movie. Because why include a new love-interest when you already have one at your disposal? Build on her and Charlie's relationship and maybe even include a bit of backstory for her. Having her be the one to take in David actually makes sense with her character, since she took care of the orphaned puppies at the old church, and maybe she took care of them and David because she herself was orphaned as a pup too?
6: Include the bloody watch department, since the interesting concept of Earth life being tied to a clock ticking away was just suddenly nonexistent in this film.
And 7: Have Charlie reunite with an older Anne-Marie at the end.
... Yeah, this movie was utter trash. The first film was NOT a perfect movie by any means, but it does hold a special place in my heart in spite of its flaws. It deserved a sequel that was an improvement over the original, not a trainwreck like THIS. I already said plenty of my opinions about it on AniMat's review, but I was surprised to see that you pointed out a lot of how I feel about it. XD From the messed up time period, to Charlie's irredeemable asshole behavior and complete lack of care for Anne-Marie (despite the major impact she had on his life/afterlife at the end of the first film), to his sexual-assault on Sasha and how problematic and forced their relationship was, to him being given a second chance back on Earth despite never having to EARN it, to the sudden reappearance of Itchy's collar in the climax despite we never SAW him get his collar back, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised either if NONE of the people that worked on this film watched the original. Balto 2's director didn't bother watching the first Balto movie, so I wouldn't be surprised. If they didn't, it baffles my mind as to why not, since sequels are supposed to be CONTINUATIONS of the first installment, not RETREADS.
That would actually explain why this film is an utter mess.
Yes. That's my main gripe with the sequel. The awkward time jump from 1939 to 1997, making Itchy over 60 years old. A 40s-themed movie would've made much more sense, like the boy would be lonely because his parents were too busy doing work for the war effort, or the father being in the service.
Killer being absent is another disservice to the original. Charles Nelson Reilly clearly enjoyed voicing him (they even made him kinda look like Reilly with the huge oversized glasses).
While recasting Carface was necessary due to Vic Tayback's death, the other replacements were downright awful. Charlie Sheen doesn't even compare to Burt Reynolds. Even Steven Weber was better than Sheen (Weber was the voice in the TV series. And at least Killer was in that, with Reilly reprising the role).
You made Charlie more likable for me.
Fun fact: Gordon Freeman DIES in All Dogs Go To Heaven 2!!!
I remember back in six grade that I had this coach and he said that his brother worked on all dogs go to Heaven
At least it wasn’t as bad as The Secret of Nimh 2: Timmy to the rescue! That movie is on another of bad
No, it's worse, like he said in the video.
Ren: you're an idiot 20:58 (He means Charlie)
Yes he is
@@erainmartinez8175 I know
He's also an asshole.
The worst part of this movie is that later versions of it cut out the part where Gordon Freeman dies.
STOP
@@silveryote1 You can't make me.
Oh yeah, this is a movie. I bought this movie on DVD for 50c at a thrift shop because I had never seen it before. Turned it off within 20 minutes, and felt sad I spent 50 cents on it.
2:00 Cheese and Crackers! When will people EVER learn to respectfully disagree? I disagree with you about the original All Dogs Go to Heaven, but, I respect your opinion because you gave out constructive criticism instead of spitting out stupid bullshit, like that Tumblr person did about Lilo and Stitch.
And trying to insult someone by saying he's "never seen acid, let alone tripped" is NOT the flex she thinks it is.
@@jackstarblaze768 Amen to that. But, sadly, my friend, we live in a world surrounded by people who think that only positive opinions can be heard.
What the Kraznogs is wrong with people sometimes?
@@tylerfish2701 well, like I said, we now live in a world where only people that are positive can voice their opinions. And apparently if someone finds another someone who doesn’t like the stuff they like, they insult them. Take the obsessive fans of Adventure Time and Regular Show. If they find someone who dislikes either of these shows, regardless of whether or not they like other modern cartoons, their go-to defense was calling the other person a nostalgiatard.
Question which do you prefer a generic storyline or a confusing story line?
Wreck-It Ralph is one of my favorite Walt Disney films.
Good for you.
Itchy should have been the main character.
Isn't this the one where Gordon Freeman dies?
Hoo, boy. I reviewed this movie 10 years ago. Let me say, it's a tough one to review. The movie grew on me (for...obvious reasons) but I still don't really like it. So before watching the full review, I wish you luck.
I get why the first movie is better, and yet I still really like this one. Plotholes be damned. The songs slapped really hard for me as a kid and they still do.
Still kind of curious about the internal production of this, and wasn't this one pushed back from its original release date because it was up against Balto?
Can't believe he forgot the part where Gordan Freeman died
didn't use anne Marie because of Judith Barsi's death good call on thier part
All Dogs Go To Heaven is one of my all-time favorite movies and I'm gonna be real...I loved the sequel as much as the original. It's definitely a movie that I like but most people seem to dislike. I respect your opinion though. This movie will always hold a special place in my heart though.
To all of those critics that compared the original "All Dogs Go To Heaven" to Disney's "The Little Mermaid," they probably should've used that to describe the sequel.
Because ADgtH 2 is basically ripping off "The Little Mermaid" more so than the first one did.
Just think about it:
*The main character (Ariel & Charlie) is tried of their safe & boring homeland, and wants something more exciting & new.
*The protagonist falls in love with a mortal (Eric & Sasha), and desperately wants to have them no matter what.
*Protagonist gets tricked by the villain/s (Ursula, Carface, and Red) to give up something of their's for the mortal they love.
*There's a time limit for the protagonist to use that spell/magic item they got from the villain, and specifically ends at sunset.
*The protagonist goes to a lively town center during the middle part.
*At one point the protagonist & their mortal love interest were about to kiss at sunset, but then it's too late & the affects of the spell/item faded away.
*The climax at the near end has the villain gaining an important Mcguffin (the triton & Gabriel's horn), rendering the powerful being/s (King Triton & Annabelle) helpless, grow to gigantic size, and created a whirlpool.
*Villain gets defeated by the same Mcguffin & [the Mcguffin] sets everyone free from their prisons and/or cursed forms.
*Despite causing most of the trouble, the protagonist gets rewarded in the end by getting what they want (Triton makes Ariel be a full fledged human, and Annabelle makes Charlie mortal again).
*The protagonist's friend/s stays in the place [the protagonist] didn't want (Sebastian& Flounder return to the sea, and Itchy gets to stay in Heaven) & they have their heartfelt goodbyes.
*The movie ends with the protagonist & love interest finally kissing each other, as the grand finale/reprise of the "I Want" song is being sung.
Heck, even David might as well be a younger male human version of Ariel as well. Red hair, blue eyes, runs/swims away from home after an argument with parental figure, doesn't care if parent/s worry about them, and thinks they'll make it in life easier at a certain location.
Despite her flaws, I can tolerate the bratty bitch unlike that idiotic mutt.
If I was to rewrite this movie, the mid of Arc II where Charlie realize he will have to go back to heaven and it would not allow him to be with David anymore deeply upsets him, could had been better if he confides with Sasha who go check and try to cheer him up he tells her about the time with Anne Marie, and that it feel like dejavu as he once again have to leave another kid he grown attached too etc. Sasha sympathy with this and Charlie also make the comment I don't know if he was directing it towards her or to David but he says something "And just when I found someone special" it would had just worked way better in my opinion to signify why he liked her and why he tried hard to get her to like him. She would had understand I don't think or felt that was justified. The character growth amongst the cast was whack, and no real concrete goals.
Why did this get a theatrical release? None of the Land Before Time sequels did and The Land Before Time was way more popular than All Dogs Go To Heaven. The first movie in this franchise wasn't even very popular to begin with
It's a shame that red wasn't in the all dogs go to heaven tv series. Also the tv series kinda ignores Charlie and Sasha getting together
