I do think this film will still appeal to many others and I, myself, am still very excited to watch it a second time.
I also find irony in the fact that this film centers around change and the overall feel of the film felt like a major shift from the first. Sure there were still plenty of humorous moments, but I personally felt myself longing for more. With the more dramatic path the writers chose to take, also came more epic musical numbers and effects. I think the writing team missed the mark when trying to achieve the same quirkiness from the original. The story, for me, felt a little flat, however. Throughout the film, I found myself dazzled with the quality and beauty of the visuals that the animation team laid out. This story heavily centers around the importance of change, even if that means letting go. While the first film was brimming with quirky moments, the follow up feels a little more mature in its plot and themes. I, as well as many others, am a huge fan of the first film and the short films that followed it. It's not hard to imagine how big this movie will be.
