All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 is a 1996 American animated musical fantasy adventure film, and a sequel to Goldcrest Films' animated film All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989).[2] Produced by MGM/UA Family Entertainment and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation, it was directed by Paul Sabella, with Larry Leker, previously involved in writing the story for the first film, as co-director. Dom DeLuise reprises his role from the first film, alongside new cast members Charlie Sheen, Ernest Borgnine and Bebe Neuwirth, respectively. New characters are voiced by Sheena Easton, Adam Wylie and George Hearn.
Don Bluth, the director of the original film, had no involvement with it. It was the second of only two theatrical sequels to a film directed by Don Bluth to not involve Bluth himself, the first being An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, as 13 sequels to The Land Before Time and a single sequel to The Secret of NIMH were direct-to-video releases along with two sequels of An American Tail in 1998–2000, as well as An All Dogs Christmas Carol. Grossing over $8 million worldwide, the film received negative reviews from critics. This was MGM's last theatrically released animated film until Igor (2008). It also served as the series premiere for All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series.
