Expert review
This Disney animated sequel is a very light family comedy centered on Kronk, with a playful and colorful tone that is much gentler than some plot points might suggest. The main sensitive material involves cartoon mishaps, brief comic peril, a scheming villain, and several lies or moments of social embarrassment connected to Kronk wanting his father's approval. There are also chases, a scam involving a fake youth potion, references to crocodile danger, and some fantasy transformations, but everything is handled in a broad comic style with no realism and no graphic violence. The intensity stays low to mild, and tense moments are short and quickly softened by humor and supportive friendships. For most children, this is suitable fairly young, though parents of more sensitive viewers may want to reassure them during chase scenes and talk about the film's main message, that self worth does not need to be built on pretending to be someone else.
Synopsis
Kronk, now chef and Head Delivery Boy of Mudka's Meat Hut, is fretting over the upcoming visit of his father. Kronk's father always disapproved of young Kronk's culinary interests and wished that Kronk instead would settle down with a wife and a large house on a hill.
Difficult scenes
In the storyline about the fake youth potion, Yzma pulls Kronk into a scam that deceives elderly people and causes them to lose what they own. This may unsettle a sensitive child because it involves manipulation and taking advantage of trust, even though the whole sequence is played broadly for laughs and without realistic cruelty. Several scenes show Yzma being chased or cornered near a bridge above a river with crocodiles below. The danger exists within the story, but the presentation is very cartoony, quick, and exaggerated, which keeps the fear level low for most children. At camp, a young participant pulls a prank in order to win a competition, and Kronk accepts the consequences on the child's behalf. Parents may want to note this section because it touches on pressure to win at any cost, a child's guilt, and making amends in a safe and reassuring way. Kronk's father's visit leads to an extended chain of lies and awkward situations because Kronk tries to seem more successful than he really is. There are several moments of embarrassment and mild put downs from the father, which could affect children who are sensitive to parental disapproval or social humiliation.
