The big name cast is simply inoffensive, but without any prior knowledge you'd be hard-pressed to identify anyone. The "moral" of the story is unclear also, without wishing to lay on any spoilers it's either an extremely crude jab at animal cruelty or plagiarism, or a lazy, generic "family" message. A lot of the musical references point to 90s and early 2000s boy bands that completely miss the target audience on subject matter, and are painfully "try hard" on offering something to parents. It isn't cute, original, or entertaining in the way the first film was, and even my 4 year old daughter found a lot of it quite dull. It is a mass-produced feeling animation with no real soul or conviction. It's made up of saccharine set-pieces and musical numbers very loosely held together by an (almost) arbitrary plot. A film suffering from the syndrome of being a sequel for the sake of it.
