Sequel of the most succesfull Czech animated movie – „Goat story – Old Prague Legends" Young Zuzanka, Honzik, and Goat are searching for the children's parents, who the devil has apparently kidnapped to punish them for producing devilishly good goat cheese. However, the children find their parents not in hell, but at the Castle, where they must make cheese for Kobyl, the King's advisor. Kobyl gained the King's good graces thanks to cheese. Following a dangerous and cheesy adventure, Kobyl ends up in hell and the family members become reunited. (official distributor synopsis)

The Goat put on some make up, had a couple of beers and hopped onto this express train of a movie about cheese. I had no problem with the first part and I must admit that the sequel may have made me even happier. I liked the plot a lot more than in the first one. I would have no problem watching it again. And the style of animation, which has been discussed at lengths here, seemed OK to me. I mean it’s nothing to get too excited about, but you can’t really expect that it would be comparable to the gems produced in Hollywood. If I were to guess, I’d say that there might have been tens of people working on this Czech movie, whereas in America, the crew usually includes hundreds or even more than a thousand people. So, in our limited Czech conditions, I can say that the Goat’s Story is OK. I also like the fact that the Goat likes beer. At least the kids will have a chance to gain a quick understanding of what kind of nation they were born into.

The rather gloomy first film was replaced by a pure fairy tale, which is the best solution to develop the potential of Goat Story. Ideally, the new characters teamed up against evil with the classic trio of Long, Wide and Sharp-eyed, which I welcomed.

I can't help it, but even though I didn't like the first part twice, I still ended up enjoying it more than the first part. It wasn't so exaggerated here, the story had a clear line, but overall it was just a tribute to grotesques without any idea, just an attempt to support the fairytale vibe, which didn't sit well with me. Those kids were fine, but as characters, they were simply nothing special.
