Opération casse-noisette 2

I took my three grandchildren to this movie and was a little apprehensive because of a review I had read. However, we all thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was a good kids movie but I enjoyed it as well. It was about friendship, working together and protecting your space. The graphics were great and in general a feel good movie about the little guy winning against great odds.

I thought the second one was going to be worse than the first one. But when I saw it in theaters, I was shocked. I was surprisingly impressed! The second one is 100% better than the first one. The directors did a lot of improvement on the second one, the animation is great, characters are likable, story is better and it was entertaining. I think this movie is worth to watch and people should forget about the first one. This might be the first time that the sequel is better than the first movie. I did a movie review on The Nut Job 2 on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Fdl_pi2_E) I am proud of the directors for making the second one better, the animators did a great job with the animation and I can't wait for a third one. Families should go see this movie, trust me, you will enjoy it.

I watched this recenty and I must say I was actually kind of surprised I really enjoyed watching this one the characters were cute and lovable and a joy to watch you really need to try this one its wayyyy different than the other movie and you will love it for being different the sweetness of the sqirls and the family is just extremely sweet and lovable

Surly's takeover of the shop has given the nut-loving community an unlimited buffet. Andie refuses to join as she struggles to preach a hard working ethics. When the shop blows up, Surly pledges to find the group another easy food source. Meanwhile, Mayor Muldoon intends to bulldoze the idyllic Liberty Park and turn it into amusement park Liberty Land.

This one continues the barely functional animated franchise. It's a repetitive series of action scenes and more action. The writing isn't that funny. An amusement park is not that threatening as far as paving over paradise. It's more about bring in a colorful set to have fun chasing through. This is better than others like the Chipmunks but it's nowhere near the Minions.

The Nut Job 2 is wonderful! With some movies, the sequel is never as good as the original, but with this movie, they are both awesome films. There is never a boring part or unnecessary scene. It keeps you wanting more and gets you really attached about the characters' lives. The background music really helps keep the story going and makes the chase scenes more suspenseful since there are no silent moments.

In the film, an accident happens and all the animals who are eating at the nut shop are forced to move back to the park. Unfortunately, Mayor Muldoon (Bobby Moynihan) has some nefarious plans to destroy the park. So, Surly (Will Arnett) and his friends have to find a way to work together to save the park.

One of the things I care for in both of The Nut Job films is the animation. I love how you can see every single hair on all the animals and how each one is different. Another thing that I love about this film is the music. That, you can thank Heitor Pereira for. The music goes with the lines and scenes so well, that it truly enhances the story. My favorite character is Buddy because, even though he never talks, he is always there for Surly and it's funny to see Buddy's expressions that make it seem as if he's talking. I also really like the backstory showing Surly and Buddy's friendship. Another thing I really like is Mr. Feng's (Jackie Chan) tail because it makes him more intimidating, which adds to his character. My favorite scene is when Andie (Katherine Heigl) starts singing about how the park is their home and they make a joke about how "no one can break into a spontaneous song." Go watch it and you'll see!

The two messages in this film are to work together, which this movie is all about, and that nothing comes easy. This message comes into place when the animals have to move back to the park and scrounge for food. I rate this film 5 out of 5 stars because of the extraordinary animation, plot and music. I recommend this film for ages 5 to 14 and parents and older siblings will enjoy it too.
