El colegio de los animales mágicos 2: El origen

In general I am not a big fan of german movies. Especially kids movies. They mostly don't hit my nerve.

But the first and the second movie got me surprised. Most importantly. My kids (7y & 5y) love it. Very much.

The idea about having your soul animal is always good. There are a lot of books and movies out there tackling this idea.

With this movie they created a very nice twist on that idea.

The new animals are a great addition. Juri is also voiced very nice by Axel Stein.

My highlights:

• Animals are likeable and funny
• Songs are surprisingly catchy and well sung
• Story is more than solid

The second movie is even better than the first.

The double story with the theater play is nicely done. Also the songs about the german historical figures are adding a nice touch here.

Some songs totally caught me totally by surprise since the singing is so good.

Looking forward to the 3rd movie.
