Authors Saving Throw has to be confirmed by the creators.


* AuthorsSavingThrow: The film serves as something of an offering to disgruntled viewers of the original who were expecting the film to be a kid-oriented talking kangaroo comedy like they were promised by the film's misleading trailer and poster, since the sequel now has the eponymous Kangaroo Jack [[spoiler:(who is even given the ability to talk to humans by a magic spell)]], as well as being given more screen-time.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Although its critical reception was still lukewarm at best, the film was reviewed markedly better than the original. This is probably both due to it being a generally more cohesive and followable story as opposed to a rewrite-addled IdiotPlot like the original, and being more true to the kid-friendly advertising the original played to; the titular kangaroo, for instance, is turned into an actual character with his own role in the story, satisfying those angered by his [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter wasted]] role in the original film.

* PopularWithFurries: Unlike the BaitAndSwitch nature of the original movie’s titular kangaroo, Jackie Legs is a central character in the film and thus his HalfDressedCartoonAnimal appearance has earned it some Furry attention.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The main reason the direct-to-video animated sequel was made, was to please disgruntled viewers of the first film who were expecting the film to be about a talking kangaroo like they were promised by the film's misleading trailer and poster, since the sequel now has the eponymous Kangaroo Jack being able to talk due to a magic spell, as well as being given more screen-time.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: If there is at least ''one'' good thing that the film gave us, it's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT1qANe211g Jackie Legs' cover of "I'm Gonna Knock You Out"]]. Considering that he's voiced by Creator/JeffBennett, this is to be expected.
* ContestedSequel: The kangaroo is turned into an actual character with his own role in the story, satisfying those angered by his [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter wasted]] role in the original film. However, others detract the sequel for the same reason, thinking that the novelty of watching the titular kangaroo had pretty much worn off by that point.
