From an adult perspective it was ok. My kids, 6 and 8, really enjoyed it. They watched it twice now and keep asking to watch it. Very family friendly. No questionable material which is a big plus in todays day and age.

Truth be told, then I can't remember the storyline from the first movie, so how much of a continuation this 2021 animated movie is to the 2017 previous movie, I have no idea. But still, I opted to sit down to watch "Monster Family 2" with my son here in 2021. Writers Abraham Katz and David Safier did manage to put together an entertaining enough storyline and plot, however, it was some what forgettable. And I do believe that come next week, then the movie here will have faded from my memory. But at least my son enjoyed it. Visually then "Monster Family 2" was good, as the CGI animation and art style was nice. So there certainly was a lot of nice stuff to look at. The voice acting in this animated movie was adequate, with the likes of Nick Frost and Jason Isaacs on the cast list. All in all, then "Monster Family 2" was a watchable and adequately entertaining animated movie, albeit a somewhat generic one as well. As such, then my rating of director Holger Tappe's 2021 animated movie lands on a five out of ten stars. In comparison to many other new CGI animated movies, then "Monster Family 2" just wasn't outstanding.

Max comes from a line witches and dabbles in minor witchcraft and experiments on bats. He liked watching Mila Star catch a vampire and is crushing on her. When Mila kidnaps grandma (a witch) Max turns the family into monsters in order to get granny back. There was a lot that was bad about this cartoon, but somehow it grew on me. Mostly because of the eighties soundtrack. I liked hearing Frankenstein saying "ufda". And it was a love story.

If I remember correctly another movie was supposed to come out exactly close to this time of the year before it got pushed to next year. Also the theme of that movie was monsters turning into humans and this movie is about humans turning into monsters... also the source of the transformation is basically advanced crazy science mixed with magic green gems. It just feels like this fish out of water story is a bit used in movies these days. And that every movie is basically the same movie mixed with surface level differences. And this movie? Well you can either watch this movie or Hotel Transylvania 4... you choose... it's all just the same formula...

This is one of, if not the worst movie I can remember seeing in the last decade. I was happy to watch the original Monster Family with my kids because it was entertaining, creative, and had decent animation. This movie is so far removed from the original that I'm convinced it could not have been made by the same producer: The plot is all over the place and impossible to follow; the animation is isn't even close to being in sync with the voicing; and of my (3) kids ranging in age from 1-5 years old, not one of them laughed through the whole movie. I created an account just to give this movie a bad review and have no idea how anyone else could give this better than 1 star. DO NOT WATCH.

Hadn't watched the first one but we needed a hallowe'en movie to watch as a family. The animation is top notch, however, the plot is a mash of generic monsters in peril, so cliched it's probably ironic "oh no we're monsters again?" inciting incident and uninspiring vocal performances. I think it's one of those productions where the producers need to sell it to different territories and with different voice actors, so you don't get any identifiable facial expressions or tics. The worst example is Nick Frost as the Dad. Usually the animators have the voice cast's performance to use as a guide but I'm sure here the voice cast were hired during or after production. All in all it was a forgettable 90 minutes with a weird mix of too much plot and not enough storytelling.
