I really enjoyed this film. The songs are very good, especially Count Me Out and I Will Always Be With You. The new characters are interesting, especially Sasha La Fleur, she has style, class, sass and a gorgeous voice. Red, is a pretty good villain. And the returning characters are actually pretty good. The film may have many mistakes, but i really like it.

For some reason this movie was put on for us to watch at some point during middle school. As of writing this review, I have never seen the original. This movie is extremely boring and not worth watching. Its stupid and annoying. I would not recommend watching this thing.

I'm going to do something i don't do very often. i'm going to gush for a moment. i LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. This is one of my favorite animated movies ever and it puts the first one to shame. OK. gushing over. point is, i love this film.This is much better than the first for several reasons. 1. it's not nearly as dark. i had a problem with that. the first one kinda scared me. it was creepy, i didn't like the girl, and the puppies thing was weird. 2. the animation is so much smoother. the first looked gritty and gross looking, but this one has incredibly smooth lines that flow easily and that gains major points in my book. 3. the characters are much friendlier. i LOVE annabelle's new look and i think sasha, while i usually don't like the random addition of a love interest, pulled it off well. and David is a HELL of a lot less annoying then the chick from the first. 4. the music. holy crap is the music good in this movie. i've had these songs stuck in my head for 10 years. and that's just fine with me.I could keep making a list, but i feel you get the point. This movie is golden. if you want something to show to your kids, or you just feel like watching a good movie, pop this one in. you won't be disappointed. if i had to make one nitpick it would be that the villain was a bit lame. but that only makes it slight imperfection. If more animated movies were like this, i would have no reason to watch live action at ALL.So let's break the story down. Charlie doesn't want to be in heaven anymore. itchy dies and joins charlie. they both get sent down to earth after carface steals the horn of gabriel. they get some weird collars from an evil looking dog that carface introduces them too (they don't know he took it yet) and charlie meets sasha singing onstage (probably the only bad song of the movie) he then follows her back to find David a boy who ran away from home because his stepmom is preggers. he meets up with charlie, who since he's from heaven he can talk, uses their one miracle to let sasha talk too. and after convincing David he's a guardian angel, they're off to retrieve the horn. after a crazy scene at a police station, they do, and they go to make David money as a street magician. David sees how hard it is and wants to go home. but uh oh, charlie's collar wears out just after he finds love with sasha and goes back to get new ones. the dog gives it to him in exchange for the horn who turns into a demon cat. Carface kidnaps David for the horn and charlie goes to go rescue him. After a cool boss fight scene, Charlie wins, everyone is reunited, carface is sucked down to hell (don't worry, he's OK in the TV series) and anabelle lets charlie come back to life while itchy stays in heaven and they live happily ever after. that is unless you count the awesome TV series where itchy comes down to earth to help Charlie do good angel deeds. but that's a different story.This movie is just great. do yourself a favor if you're feeling down. Watch this movie. you DON'T have to watch the first. just stick with this one and it'll brighten up your day. guaranteed.This movie found its way to easy street. with a 9. out of 10.

When Don Bluth left Disney in 1979 the Disney Co. was not making direct-to-video sequels, so that could hardly have been one of Don Bluth's reasons for leaving. The direct-to-video sequels (Return of Jafar) and the spin-off TV series like TailSpin (which used Disney's Jungle Book characters) didn't start until the Michael Eisner era. I'm not a fan of the direct-to-video sequels from Disney or these things like All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 or the seemingly never-ending Land Before Time sequels but let's keep the history of these things straight. Disney didn't make sequels until long after Don Bluth had departed from Disney.
