About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, imaginative fantasy quest with a slightly creepier edge and don’t mind a sequel that feels different from the original; Not for you if you need tight logic or strong continuity.
Pros: imaginative fantasy world; decent practical effects; kid-friendly adventure | Cons: weaker than original; clunky dialogue; uneven acting
