Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNo sequel was originally planned for Beethoven (1992), but after the film became a surprise box office success, a sequel was commissioned.
- GoofsIn the movie, the door leading down to the basement is directly under the stairs. In the first Beethoven film, the door to the basement wasn't there. Instead there were drawers and a cabinet in the wall.
- Crazy creditsFilm title logo appears when end credits are finished
- Alternate versionsThe following scenes were never shown in theaters, video, or DVD; only on television:
- Ted removing his jacket to use it as a cover for the puppies he and Emily were placing in a cardboard box.
- Ted and Emily are trapped in the apartment garage (where Regina and Floyd reside), so they try to open the garage door by stepping on a wire that opens it, but to no avail. However, Beethoven chews on the wire, which causes the garage to open.
- After George Newton finds out about the puppies, the next scene shows him stapling fliers on each tree saying "Puppies for sale", while Emily secretly takes them off one-by-one, then attempts to potty-train them next to a hydrant, but it becomes very difficult for him.
- The Newtons were packing all of their belongings and gear into their car before leaving their house.
- After the McDonald's scene, the Newtons are singing car songs.
- During the stay at their lake house, Ted secretly picks out air fresheners from the local convenience store.
- Emily telling her mom that she taught their puppy Tchaikovsky, but he doesn't really follow her at all afterwards.
- At Taylor's party, it shows Beethoven struggling to get free from the support beam, with the glass bottles shown shaking frequently. Although the scene where the three party guys are shown pouring beer onto Beethoven is edited out (but not in the final cut of the film).
- During The fair scene when George is eating the kids show up to take him to the eating contest with Beethoven,the scene originally ends with George saying "What kind of a contest is it where you just sit?" however there is an extended version which shows them walking away with Ted saying "C'mon Dad"
- After George's nightmare sequence of a lot of puppies in his living room, the Newton family's commercial airs on their TV and they all begin to watch it. The difference here (compared to the final cut of the film) is that once the doorbell rang (after the commercial), Ryce stands up quickly from the couch and answers the door, instead of her shouting, "I'll get it!"

Featured review
This sequel to the hit movie "Beethoven" is not bad, but the first one is a better film. It's still amusing and entertaining enough and cleverly it keeps the same main cast, but the plot is a bit more lame and cheesy. Some characters are annoying too, like that ugly girl Ted's in love with, the two bullies (more irritating than those from the first one) and Taylor Devereaux's drunk friends, for example.
The villains of the story are Regina and Floyd, two cold and cruel people who hate dogs and any kind of animal. They're not likable persons.
George Newton is more amusing here than in the first one. Ted and Ryce are beginning to show signs of teen age, which is not a bad thing, but I rather then the way they are in the first movie. Not that Ryce is a child in the first film, she simply is more teenager here. As for Emily, she's still the very same cute and adorable child, although more mature.
Although Beethoven is the main doggy star, this movie also focus on Missy, the beautiful female St. Bernard-like dog. The puppies, of course, are cute.
While still an okay family movie, some things about it are disturbing, such as Taylor's intentions towards Ryce and that McDonald's scene when the dogs and their owners make a contest to eat hamburgers in 3 minutes, which I consider a bit disgusting.
On the other hand, there's some classic humor too. One good example is whenever George makes that funny suspicious face towards Ryce's boys. Or the scene when Emily asks her father a question about babies and he feels so embarrassed that he doesn't know how to explain well.
The main actors are still good here. I don't like Ryce's haircut here, however. I rather her original haircut.
