It's Tiffany's
birthday and everyone has brought some
lovely gifts for her. There was even a package in the
mail today that arrived for her, sent from an anonymous
person. In the package lies a DVD of the movie "Terror
Toons" and Tiffany can't wait to put it on. Well, she's
just about to learn a very important lesson in life;
never accept gifts from strangers. Soon enough, horror
Hansel and Gretal is terrorizing the guests and killing
them off in the silliest of ways.
I've always felt that it was almost a coincidence that
the first Terror Toons movie turned out to be very
entertaining - and this sequel proved my theory. I'm
going to keep it short, just like the movie (it's
only about 70 minutes long but it felt like it went
on for forever) because I don't feel like wasting
a lot of energy on this movie. The subtitle for
Terror Toons 2 is "The Sick and Silly Show", but if
you've seen the first movie, you know that it's too
silly and not very sick.
The story revolves around Tiffany, a young girl (and
guess what? Tiffany is actually played by a young
girl as well unlike the girl in the first film who
looked like a porn star) who has a birthday today.
She receives a mysterious package in the mail which
has a DVD of "Terror Toons" in it. Eager to put it
on, she soon finds herself terrorized by two terror
toon creatures (in this case, a rat Hansel and a
very ill-minded Gretal). The guests have to hide
wherever they can, but it's not easy to hide when
the toons seem to be controlling the house. Now it's
up to Tiffany's older sister to stop these killer
toons before it's too late.
Terror Toons 2 is a lot like its predecessor and has
the same vibe to it, but for some reason, it's never
even remotely entertaining. Perhaps the joke died with
the first movie, I don't know, either way, I just
wanted this movie to end from the moment I started
watching it. As I said before, I think that it was a
complete fluke that the first movie turned out to be
so good (even if some people will probably disagree
with me on that - but it's a guilty pleasure of mine)
so it wasn't really a big surprise when this turned
out to be as poor as it was.
There's really not a whole lot more to say. Well, there
probably is but I just can't be bothered, I've wasted
enough time on it as it is. If you dug the cheesy,
no-budget vibe of the first movie, you can expect
to see more of the same in this sequel. Perhaps it's
just me, but I just didn't think it had the same kind
of charm to it. It's a joke that's gone on for too
long and isn't funny anymore, it's just cringe-worthy
and poor. If I were you, I'd avoid it.
Oh I almost forgot - the reason to why I gave it a
rating of 1/5 was due to the nipple-pierced Hansel.
That was freaking hilarious.
Well, there's a lot of gore to be found in here but
none of it is to be taken seriously so I don't think
that you can really count any of it.
Not nearly as good as the music in the first movie.
This was almost too silly and too childish, which
on the other hand suited the movie quite well.
Terror Toons 2 isn't sick, it's just silly... to the
point where it's not even funny anymore. While I loved
the first movie, I just couldn't seem to enjoy this on
any level. Perhaps I've matured, or perhaps it was just
a fluke that the first movie was so good, either way,
I could never recommend this movie.
