<p>I mean, it's a Disney movie. There's nothing to nitpick about the overall workmanship that is apparent throughout the picture. The film score is fantastic. The underlying message is great. And the furry community must have gotten a kick out of the movie.</p>
<p>But it also suffers from problems common to modern-day Hollywood productions. Pacing became noticeably rushed in the second half of the movie, and that is not my biggest problem. My biggest problem with this movie (as well as the first one in its franchise, and big budget modern productions in general) is that writers of Hollywood these days seem to be incapable of telling a story without at least one conspiracy of some kind being involved. Sure, adding conspiracy to a story <em>will most definitely</em> make it richer. But it also has the unfortunate effect of encouraging conspiratorial thinking, which leads people to the conclusion along the lines of &quot;everything that is against me is a conspiracy&quot;. I believe conspiracy is <strong>not</strong> an essential component of a great story and it should be less of a trope on the big screen, especially in today's chaotic world where conspiracy theorists proliferate.</p>
<p>(This may awfully sound like ranting over video games causing violence, and I'd admit so. I guess this is me venting over the proliferation of conspiracy theories and (mis)attributing it to the entertainment industry.)</p>
<p>And without any warnings Nick just randomly exposed my defense mechanism ... How dare he? (But I can't really say without any warnings, can I?)</p>
<p>Also Linux Engineering didn't seem to be a role in the credits roll this time but &quot;Caffeination&quot; got one. Excuse me? Literally unwatchable 0 / 10, would not recommend /s</p>
<p>But seriously, it's a pretty well-executed sequel to the original. Even sharing the same negatives as it. How nice.</p>
