I rated the 1st film a 6.
DD is very recognizable, and although the character is drawn to sort of physically resemble him, I find it distracting. Also, the humor he's given (or ad libs) is sometimes too modern for the setting.
I slept between finishing the film and watching this, and don't really remember much except a lot of sweeping movement. I suppose it's easier to move animated characters than live actors, but that doesn't mean you should do it all (or a lot of) the time. To me it signals that you don't have enough plot/character, and are substituting "stunts".
The reason I'm sure I finished the film: I remember the last moments when Fievel shakes his white cowboy hat to become the blue cap given by his father in the prior film. I'd been wondering where that was.
