Good role models in this movie.. not counting the villian. I couldn't sit through this movie when I tried to re-watch it, though, because the songs.. oh my gosh.. Aleu is such a good character.. but she acts like a pup, even when she gets older. Animation... fails. Not as beautiful as the first. If you really like the first movie, this one will be a let down for sure if you are a older child.
Not as good as the original, but still good clean fun.
I'll keep this brief. This movie is in no way better than the original, but it is certainly entertaining and very good for children. The enjoyableness for older children is the quality of animation and how deep it goes into its moral of finding yourself. For kids, it's the moral of finding yourself. They obviously won't care about how deep it goes into it's moral but they may tear up at the bitter-sweet ending, they won't know why, but we do. They do because all of the characters are likable and well developed.
