History WesternAnimation / AllDogsGoToHeaven2

* InNameOnly: The film bears nearly no resemblance to the original whatsoever--except for a few of the character names.

* DeadpanSnarker: Charlie's in fine form in this movie, especially after he sends Red back to Hell:
--> '''Charlie''': "Hello... double chili CAT burger with onions and pickles!"

--> '''Charlie''': "It couldn't have been Gabriel's Flute, or Gabriel's Kazoo, nooooo..."

** Alcatraz was decommissioned as a (human) prison in 1963, so it couldn’t have been set before then. But even a mid-1960s date would have still made Itchy unusually long-lived. Plus, there are plenty of things that would have been anachronistic in 1960s San Francisco, including boomboxes (one is seen during the “Easy Street” scene). Plus, the hippies are nowhere to be seen.

* CastingGag: Sasha, the Irish setter, is played by Scottish singer/actress Sheena Easton. Sasha is also shown to be an accomplished singer.

* AwardBaitSong: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7UiHs5BqRc#t=55s It's Too Heavenly Here (Reprise)]]" by Sheena Easton and Jesse Corti and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49HfbVTg3_w I Will Always Be With You]]" by Danny Frazier and Helen Darling.

* CatsAreMean: Red and [[DemBones his minions]] are all cats. Apparently, cats are not only mean but also TheLegionsOfHell. Despite appearances, it's implied that Red is not Old Scratch himself, but an EliteMook -- or possibly even a lap cat. Charlie makes mention of "his boss" yanking his leash, which could be a reference to the dragon in the first film being Satan.

* CastingGag: Sasha, the Irish setter, is played by Scottish singer/actress Sheena Easton. Also doubles as a case of CastTheExpert, as Sasha is shown to be an accomplished singer.

* SingingVoiceDissonance: Charlie's voice when he sings is somehow higher pitched than his speaking voice, thanks to [[NonSingingVoice two different actors]] playing him.
* SlapSlapKiss: Charlie and Sasha, up until the "I Will Always Be with You" number.

* AlmostKiss: After Charlie and Sasha sing "I Will Always Be With You", they're about to kiss, unfortunately the sun sets and the collar Red gave Charlie wears off (the collar allowed the wearer to be visible until sunset on the next day), and Charlie becomes a ghost again. Doubles as a MomentKiller.

* AnimationBump: Due to outsourcing to various studios, detail in animation is very inconsistent compared to the first film. In some shots it actually comes very close to replicating it's level of detail, in others it borders on Saturday morning cartoon standard. The TV series was shrewd enough to use some of the film's better scenes for a TitleMontage, which causes an even ''bigger'' bump next to the actual show's LimitedAnimation.

* ArtShift: The scene where Red [[spoiler: reveals his true form to Charlie]] is drawn, colored and animated in a much looser fashion.

%%* BigBad: Red obviously, shown in the upper left hand corner of the poster.

%%* CherubicChoir: At the beginning.

** Flo, Charlie's implied possible dog love interest in the first movie, was never mentioned in any of the sequels.

** Killer, making this the only entry in the series without him.

* CulturalTranslation: This film is set in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco, unlike the original.

%%* {{Disneyfication}}

%%* OffModel: In some parts.
* PeekABangs: Sasha during her song "Count me Out" stands at a strange angle, giving her one of these. In this case it's a wedding veil.

* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: Less a sequel to [[WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven the 1989 movie]] and more of a pilot for the TV series, which debuted a few months later. And even ''that'' [[BroadStrokes played fast and loose with the continuity]] from it's predecessor.

* {{Satan}}: Though he doesn't appear this time, this installment has Red, an anthropomorphic red cat who seems to be the lap-demon of Old Scratch.
* SettingUpdate: Seems to take place in the 90's rather than the 30's, calling Itchy's extreme longevity into question.

* StreetPerformer: Charlie attempts to help a boy make it as a professional street magician. The boy had to compete against several other street performers for the attention of the pedestrians.

* VillainDecay: In the movie Carface is intelligent and dangerous, but in the sequels and TV series he's cowardly, bumbling, and idiotic.

''All Dogs Go to Heaven 2'' is a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'', released in 1996. It was co-directed by Larry Leker, a storyboard artist on the original and served as the PilotMovie for ''All Dogs Go To Heaven: The Series'', which debuted a few months later.

It starts off with Charlie in Heaven, where he's joined by Itchy soon after. Soon afterwards Gabriel's Horn which is used to open the gates to Heaven is stolen by Carface (for the evil Red to use) and Charlie volunteers to get it along with Itchy "volunteering" as well. It's up to them to save Heaven before it's too late, but that isn't to say they won't be some surprises along the way.

* EasilyForgiven: Charlie and Carface have struck up a friendship in Heaven, despite the fact that Carface murdered him ''twice.''
** Worse, Carface is still allowed to reside in Heaven in spite of this fact.

* {{Flanderization}}: Though it's not ''quite'' as bad as in the TV series, some of the characters start their decay here, Carface starts to play his usual bumbling [[TheDragon dragon]] role, while Annabelle has become more grouchy and regal.

* TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:Charlie and Sasha get their kiss at the end of the movie, with "It's So Heavenly Here" playing on in the background.]]

* CulturalTranslation: This film is set in San Francisco, unlike the original.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Charlie, ''permanently'' at the end...or at least he's given 20 years, which is very generous for a large dog. Itchy's given the same offer, but declines; he lived a full life and is content to stay in Heaven. That and he prefers angelic flying to running on his [[RunningGag short legs]].]]

* {{MacGuffin}}: Gabriel's Horn. Without it, dogs can't be accepted into heaven and, if fallen into the wrong hands, can be used to pull souls into a Hell-like vortex.

--> Charlie: "Hello... double chili CAT burger with onions and pickles!"

--> Charlie: "It couldn't have been Gabriel's Flute, or Gabriel's Kazoo, nooooo..."

** Carface makes a deal with the Big Bad demon cat Red, a collar allowing him to be physical on Earth in exchange for his soul (though in his defense, he didn't know what Red meant by soul at the time). When Red is finally defeated and sucked into Hell, he decides to cash in on the deal and sends his minions to drag Carface into Hell with him.

* GratuitousSpanish: After Officer Reyes's pursuit of Charlie, Itchy, and David ends with her crashing her police car, she speaks several words in this language.

As was the case with all but [[WesternAnimation/BartokTheMagnificent one]] of the sequels to his movies, Creator/DonBluth was not involved. It's notably one of only two sequels to a Bluth film (the other being ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTailFievelGoesWest'') to get a theatrical release rather than be DirectToVideo.

* {{Gonk}}: Oh, boy, look at most of the humans in this installment. Some of them have huge noses, angular heads, awfully skinny bodies and stuff like that.
