And that is quite an achievement as "Kleines Arschloch" is a definite contender for worst animated movie from the 1990s. In the first movie, there was already a reference about the lead character being Satan and here we see that costume for almost half of the film. Anyway, I wonder why they decided to make a sequel after almost 10 years had already passed. And I wonder even more why Helge Schneider, who is actually pretty smart and funny, agreed to reappear as well in this catastrophic effort. His quotes included word plays with stalactites and tits. Another one would be something along the lines of a cabinet of Dr. Dildo. Oh Helge, what were you thinking??? Just like in the first the characters' noses are again as big as their head. You can see this as an indication of how the directors also worked together on the (much more entertaining) Werner movie franchise. The film starts with a sequence including seagulls and a very random conversation with the only purpose to include this film's title it seems. It is abused again on the comics from Walter Moers (Käptn Blaubär). It is at least as bloody, offensive and uninspired as the first. Once again they forgot to include humor and it seemed they really only went for dialogs and action that would shock the audience as much as possible. I cannot see any creative approach in here. There is lots of violence against animals (lots of very cruel animal experiments involving a tiny dog) just like in the first. The main character, a little boy, is spoken again by the same actress as in the original with her trademark annoying voice.
Some names you will have heard of if you are German. The voice cast includes the late Dirk Bach, Ralph Morgenstern and Kathrin Ackermann who played for a long time in the "Tatort"-movies. This here is certainly a film you can only love or hate although it is difficult to see how one could love it with all its impiousness, the tasteless scenes at a funeral/cemetery and attempts at humor that include photos from the main character's first ejaculation or about God having no pubic hair. Early on, the family wanted to push the boy out of a driving car and I really wished they had done it, so the story would have been over and I would not have had to sit through another hour of this crap. Sadly, the very few non-vulgar sequences were as unfunny as the rest of the film. These 80 minutes included many wtf-moments, but almost none of them in a positive context.
To be offensive and totally unfunny is probably the worst possible mixture for a comedy movie, or a movie in general, but this one succeeds this rare achievement. Absolutely not recommended. The only reason you should this give this one a go is if you liked the first.
