Happily N'Ever After 2 feels a little forced and slightly lame but I think I liked this one a little bit more than the original. Not because it was better but it was easier to watch. You can relate to the idea better and it seemed more believable. It follows a traditional fairytale format that works.By no means would I recommend you watch this movie but it's alright. There are many flaws that are still present including the awkward dialogue and slow-paced storyline. It still shocks me that a sequel was even made as it was never going to save the series' reputation. Just another movie that needs to stay in the bargain bin where it belongs.

There are so many things wrong with this movie. The first was amazing/funny.1st: The animation was horrible and lots of things were wrong. Also, why was the dwarf's house so big inside? Snow white could easily walk through the door, it was her size perfectly, it should of been much smaller and harder to get in.2nd: The characters were way too off character, at least Cinderella was like herself and not some brat. This movie felt like it was The Bratz. Why did Peter look almost exactly the same as the guy in the first movie? (forgot name sorry.) Where was Mumbo and Jumbo's boss? There was a lack of him which I hated.3rd: The voice acting was terrible and not always in sync, why couldn't they keep the voices the same? (for Mumbo and Jumbo)I guess they voice actors could've of changed for a reason but it was really sad when I heard Mumbo's voice had changed, I used to love it so much.4th:The storyline was just plain horrible.Extra: Snow whites father, the king was offered a drink, he didn't even take a sip, he picked it up and turned around then put it back down.Snow white's red head band was over her ears when she was a kid but when she grew up it was behind her ear? Surely she didn't keep the same head band all those years otherwise it would be dirty and broken at least in some manner.

Happily N'Ever After 2 is a slight guilty pleasure. I found it quite humorous to watch one of the most beloved fairy tales get butchered and twisted because I'm just that kind of guy. Apparently, the theatrical release of the first film didn't pay off well enough to merit a big-screen sequel. It did, however, justify the studio milking the concept in a direct-to-DVD format. No voice actor from the original returns – not even the guys who did Mambo and Munk's voices.Imagine, if you will (or care to), a collision between Snow White, Fractured Fairy Tales, and Bratz. Can you picture it? Basically, what you've got is a sort of modernized version of Snow White that still takes place a long time ago in Fairy Tale Land. Somehow, though, all the characters know contemporary slang and even carry cell phones. When Snow and her friends hang up with each other, they say things like "Holla!" Now are you getting it? Lucky you. They also go to nightclubs with techno dance music throbbing and disco balls spinning. Sounds like a visual mess, doesn't it? Speaking of a visual mess, let's move on to the animation. It might be passable if it were the year 1995. It just seems plain and aged. Definitely nothing new or attention-grabbing.The only real tie that I could see between the first film and this one are the two "storytellers", Mambo and Munk, who control the balance of good and evil. Of course, one of them has to bump the scale over into evil to cause some kind of forward motion in the plotting of this thing. They pretty much end up having absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the story and their segments serve as nothing more than annoying distractions.I guess in closing you have to take into account who this was made for – the kids. Will they be entertained? Most likely. Will it leave a lasting impression on them? Probably not. Let's hope they don't start yelling "holla!" at each other. It will no doubt make the studio some extra spending cash. And after all, isn't that what straight-to-DVD releases are REALLY all about?

This is a great sequel. Lots of fun surprises and great characters. The animation looks classic but cool. Definitely recommend this twist on the Snow White tale. It was fun. There were some really hilarious supporting characters. I wasn't expecting much--just considering the first one was really smart and how sequels can be so lame--but in the end I was totally impressed. It had a sweet message that I think a lot of girls will appreciate. And also relate to just growing up and wanting to feel like they fit in. They should definitely make more fairy tale updates like this one because they have actually really smart messages. All in all, this is a fun film.
