* {{Sequelitis}}: Fans mostly agree this is a noticeable downgrade from the first film, largely for taking the more complicated ideas and rich storytelling found before and trading it for a basic good vs. evil story that prioritizes retreading a lot of the already-seen world of Fantasia rather than introduce something new. That said, it still keeps the iconography and the characters from the previous film mostly consistent with the first film, in contrast to the third which makes the characters unrecognizable in both design and characterization.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In her introductory scene, Xayide is shown as being TheBlank until she literally puts her face on by casting a spell. While it was probably helpful to establish that she is indeed a practitioner of magic, it can also come across as confusing to some viewers, especially since it never gets mentioned again after that.
