My Thoughts

It's a fine movie, honestly. Nothing groundbreaking, but I quite liked it. The characters are mostly what made it for me. Henry and Lily are fine characters and I also enjoyed Moses and Peter. 

If I do have a criticism, it's that White Fang doesn't do that much in this movie. Sure, he's there and present and all that, but he doesn't do that much major stuff that he warrants being in the title. This really feels much more like it's Henry's story and not as much White Fang's. 

Also just as a by the way, the main character of the first installment is barely in this movie. It's not a movie about Jack, it's about his friend Henry and to a lesser extent White Fang. I do find this a pretty odd choice, but I'm sure they had their reasons for not focusing on Jack this time.

Overall this is a fine movie with plenty of action and likable characters, even if it's not perfect. As a sequel to the Disney White Fang movie it's a fine successor.
