The sets are very detailed and are beautifully designed to fit the lighthearted style of the movie. The animals\u2019 hilarious antics kept me laughing throughout the film! Best of all, you don\u2019t need to have seen the first film, <em>School of Magical Animals<\/em>. You can enjoy and completely understand the film for what it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>School of Magical Animals 2 <\/em>follows a group of students and their talking pets preparing to celebrate their school\u2019s anniversary with a musical performance. They want to honor their school by recreating the story of its foundation. The only problem is, they cannot agree on how to do it! Ida (Emilia Maier) is appointed director, but when the school\u2019s most popular girl, Helene (Emilia Pieske), attempts to take control, the class is torn. Additionally, the school director, Mr. Siegmann (Justus von Dohn\u00e1nyi) has his own vision for the musical and insists that it is followed. With the advice and assistance of the magical animals, the students eventually realize they must join forces, each learning a valuable lesson along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schoolmagicalanimals.a.jpg?resize=300%2C113&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12155\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schoolmagicalanimals.a.jpg?resize=300%2C113&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schoolmagicalanimals.a.jpg?resize=768%2C288&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schoolmagicalanimals.a.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The sets immediately stood out to me, especially the individual characters\u2019 bedrooms. The room decorations reflect each of their personalities. My favorite room belongs to Anna-Lena (Lilith Johna). She is a shy but happy, welcoming girl with a wonderful singing voice and a talent for textiles. Her room is covered with beautiful fairy lights, warm pastel-colored cushions, and sewing equipment, because she is sewing the main character\u2019s dress for the musical. There is a wooden bunk bed with a ladder and there are plants and vines around the room, in adorable white or neutral pots. Her room looks like it belongs to a garden fairy, which describes Anna-Lena perfectly! Aside from the characters\u2019 rooms, the rest of the sets are also beautifully designed, such as the stage for the performance and the set for Ida\u2019s rooftop birthday party. Both maintain a light, happy color scheme to support the movie\u2019s cheerful tone. They are very detailed as well, with star-shaped cutouts and strobe lights for the stage and a whole snack booth with cafe-style tables set up by the trampolines for Ida\u2019s birthday party. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schoolmagicala.b.jpg?resize=300%2C113&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12154\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schoolmagicala.b.jpg?resize=300%2C113&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schoolmagicala.b.jpg?resize=768%2C288&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schoolmagicala.b.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The animals are essential to the plot and the character development. Each main character\u2019s animal represents either their internal thoughts or a lesson they need to learn. For example, Anna-Lena receives a chameleon named Caspar (Rick Kavanian), who pushes her to overcome her shyness and step out of her comfort zone, even encouraging her to take on the lead role in the musical. And Juri (Axel Stein), Jo\u2019s penguin, represents his conscience when he makes a mistake and guides him to the right decision by sharing advice, as well as his own hilarious stories from when he was in Antarctica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>School of Magical Animals 2 <\/em>is that teamwork makes the dream work! At the end of the film, the students realize that they are more powerful together than apart, and to make their musical the best it can be, they need to work together, share their ideas and listen to others\u2019 opinions. Be aware that this film was originally recorded in German and is dubbed in English, with captions provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>School of Magical Animals 2 <\/em>gets 5 out of 5 stars from me and I recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. <em>School of Magical Animals 2 <\/em>releases in theaters on June 7, 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>School of Magical Animals 2<br>By Clara T., KIDS FIRST!

The animals help teach lessons in friendship, perseverance, and the importance of sharing feelings. Another fun fact about the animals is that they can transform into stuffed animals when needed, so they can hide from strangers. Throughout the movie, you see beautiful landscapes and European villages and castles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film\u2019s message is about teamwork. In the beginning, the children struggle to come together as a team, but when they start to work together they start to accomplish more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>School Of Magical Animals<\/em> 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12.
