Continuity: Patch in the original had his black ear and patch on the same side. In this film, they are on opposite sides.

Quotes:

Thunderbolt: [about getting hit in the head by Cruella DeVil] That hurt. That really hurt!
Patch: I knew you were faking it.
Lightning: [suddenly, out of nowhere, he appears and chuckles] He's been faking it, all right.
Thunderbolt: Lightning, little buddy.
Lightning: I am NOT your little buddy! And you are no wonder dog. This kid trusted you, and look where it's got him.
Patch: What's he mean?
Lightning: He's been lying to you all day, kid. He doesn't care about you, or your family. He was just trying to get his name in the paper, and SAVE his job. Ask him!
Thunderbolt: NO!
[suddenly attempts to come clean]
Thunderbolt: Well, yeah, but - - but - ...

Not Bad....

Coming from a parent who cringed and groaned all the way through Little Mermaid II, Cinderella II, and just about ever "II" Disney has inflicted on the public, this one wasn't bad. It kept the spirit and fun of the first, didn't get too sticky sweet, and just had a good time with itself.

Although the animation is on par with other direct-to-video releases (read: poor), had Dinsey put a little more into its development, they could've had a nice theater release on their hands. How the potential films like this are ignored, but the embarrassing Jungle Book 2 was release in theaters, I'll never figure out.

My daughter loves this one and, while it's no Toy Story, I can gladly sit through it to keep her attention away from Care Bears: The Movie.
