The idea of the plot was intriguing, in that it begins straight after the first movie (a nice change from the regular setting of a few years later in other sequels) and the food mutates into living beings. Some of the food animal designs were imaginative and sweet such as the cheespider and tacodile while other animals didn't fit in so well. The first thirty minutes of the movie was somewhat of a letdown in that it was fairly bland, you anticipate the part where the gang heads off to the food jungle. You also can't wait for the humorous parts to begin. Sadly, the movie never lifted off. It's less funny and less imaginative and they reused the subplot of turning antagonist (Flint) against his friends that's been done many times before. I tried very hard to find the jokes/gags funny but while they would give you a chuckle or two, it never sets you off laughing your head off. The animation was slick and the movie overall was bright and colourful so it was still an enjoyable piece.
