About This Movie

So, 'What's Michael? 2' rolls back around with that same quirky charm that made the first entry a curious watch. Directed by Yoriyasu Kogawa, this 1988 animated comedy dives into vignettes that weave humor and absurdity seamlessly. The standout skit, a playful twist on 'The Fugitive,' showcases a veterinarian on the run, which really brings some chaotic energy to the table—imagine Richard Kimble but with a tabby cat popping in and out. The pacing is brisk, never giving you too much time to settle, which keeps it lively. The animation style feels distinctly late '80s, and you can sense the fun the creators had, especially in the character expressions and those whimsical scenarios involving Michael. It’s definitely distinctive in its approach to storytelling, mixing humor with a sort of gentle pathos that makes it special in its own right.
