went to see it this week. the animation might not have that novelty factor anymore (only because of the first one), but it's still amazing and i'm glad i got to see it in a cinema. i think they were able to step it up even if only a little bit, focusing in on different styles and how they use each according to the emotions they're trying to convey in any given scene.

i'm just no so sure about splitting it up into two movies. on the one hand i'm glad i get to watch one more part of the whole thing, on the other, you can't help but feel they're milking it once more, by stretching it out into another part. towards the end you could definitely feel you'd be leaving with a somewhat incomplete experience.
