Business at his newly opened restaurant just isn't as good as Kronk had hoped, and upon receiving a llama-gram stating that his father is currently en route, the stressed chef and his enchanting partner Yzma begin cooking up a scheme that will give the restaurant the distinct smell of success. When the plan backfires and an enormous cheese explosion leaves Kronk and company scrambling to get back on their feet, it's up to his friends to convince him that the only way he'll ever achieve true happiness is by remaining true to his groove no matter how heavy the odds are stacked against him. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Pam Gelman, Common Sense Media
Great voice talents, but weak storyline and frankly not much groove.
Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
I always loved the character of Kronk.... However, it may have been a mistake to give him his own movie.
Tony Whitt, Now Playing Magazine
Note to Disney: Do sequels only if you can do them this well...
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...this film proves that [Kronk] works best in small doses...
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...even for a children's movie there should have been more to the plot and characters than this.
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
If its characters, music, and action seem to an adult less than inspired, that's the price one pays for watching a straight-to-video sequel.
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
if you want to spend more time with these characters, you're probably better off just re-watching the original film.
David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
It's just too generic, and generic is not what we want from a sequel to a film that managed to escape the Disney mold.

a great sequel ide say better than the first mainly because it is told in alot of different stories

I was no comparison to the original, but it was pretty fun!

Pitiful attempt at continuing the cutest and one of the best Disney films. If they had just gone with a straightforward, linear plot, things might have worked out alright. But noooo...
Sylvester K

The sequel never lived up to the standard of the first film, but it is ok to watch, like once only. Tried too hard to be funny but utterly failed.
Sunil J

Really cute and funny. Probably the best if the Disney dvd sequels i've seen.
