I'll admit that I'm a HUGE fan of the first film (I made a Flint Lockwood costume for Halloween and Comic-Con) and was pretty excited for this one...good thing it lived up to the hype I brought into it! The movie is just plain fun, no two ways around it. The story is awesome, the creature designs for the foodimals were just amazingly creative, the voice acting is top shelf stuff and the humor is fantastic. While I admit I didn't laugh as much or as hard as I did the first one (seriously, I thought I was going to pass out in the first one), I still laughed a lot and had a great time in the theater watching it.
My favorite part of the film, and this may sound strange, was the way the animators crafted the backgrounds when the story heads to the now food dominated Swallow Falls. Seeing the landscapes be turned into food (like a swamp made of syrup or mountains made of rock candy) were incredibly amusing and just shined with creativity.
This one is going on my "Repeat Viewing" list, I enjoyed it that much!
