The familiar quartet gets new family dynamics and comic rivalries. A good follow-up for children who enjoy the first film's broad animal humor.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
A cub is separated from his father, animals face hunters and drought, and there is volcano peril. Mild crude humor continues.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
