Pretty much everything.
Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall it being surprisingly good for a sequel.
The animal characters were naturally adorable, but also not caricatures. This time, Mrs. Hoggett got to shine in some amusing comedy bits.
Unfortunately, the stakes just never felt as high as the original. Also, I was bummed there wasn't much James Cromwell in it.
