Rock Dog: Renace Una Estrella

My daughter had never heard of this before and she loved it!

Where do I even begin with this one?

Rock Dog 2: Rock Around The Park did not need to exist. That's about as nice as I can put it.

It seems that not a single soul involved with the original production wanted to touch this one. It's pretty clear why.

The animation is very stiff. The characters often have a blank expression on their face, almost as if their minds blank out for a split second every so often. The colors are bleak and the rendering is very basic for what is supposed to be a feature.

When it comes to the story it is about the most generic and predictable drivel you can imagine. The surprises come in the form of new family members, which I can only imagine were added to uphold a facade of family values plucked straight from the 50's. Unsurprisingly we get a sprinkle of the classic boomer "Social Media Bad" morals. That was definitely the highlight of the movie because "I'm trending down" is not a sentence I thought I'd ever hear. It's embarrassing to watch this movie.

I was not planning to write a review for this movie, but I feel obligated after seeing the review page littered with what must be either Splash Entertainment employees or cult members praising this movie and recommending it for kids & families.

Do not make your kids watch this, 2021 has been a great year for animation, so pick something good like "Luca" or "Wish Dragon" instead. Better yet, watch the original "Rock Dog". It's pretty decent.

I want to recommend Rock Dog 2 specifically for you and your friends to laugh at, because it is a spectacular train wreck. Unfortunately it looks like there's a third movie coming, and at that point I'm afraid the joke may have gotten old.

After watching the first movie of Rock Dog I decide to try the second movie of Rock Dog 2 Rock Around The Park.

Unlike the previous movie. Rock Dog. Rock Dog 2 Rock Around The Park has almost improved a bit. I like how they improved the graphics in the movie. His father Khanpa fell off the character at the start. The detail in the environment looked pretty good, especially the city. Has a bit of original music in the movie and it stays great like the previous song called "Glorious" The new characters like Lil' Foxy was pretty nice and had good improvements to Bodi's friends that are Darma and Germur being part of the band.

Somehow the movie has a bit more plot holes to be punctured. The two examples of that are the avalanche scene and the main villain of the story. Plus I expect those good-looking red pandas who look like they are from a 2000s sitcom Wei and Shamai would have been more useful in the movie but this movie just treated it more like a tag-along rather than actual characters that are part of the movie.

The movie turned from good to great because of the music. Hopefully, the third movie needs to improve its writing, character usefulness, and not another cliche villain.

I thought the animation was great and the storyline was enjoyable. I really liked the music in the movie as well.

This movie isn't awful, i can see kids liking it even if they didn't see the first movie. The animation is decent and not horrible like other straight to DVD movies and even though it's not the same voice actors from the first movie they wern't that bad, also the songs were pretty good and nice to listen to.

I did see "Rock Dog" from 2016 and I thought it was better then I expected. This sequal was mostly for kids to watch and not expected to be better the first film.
