5. It stars Kirk Cameron, because Saving The Christmas Tree is a natural sequel to Saving Christmas.

6. The plot is basically a rehash of the first movie, almost word for word (not including points 1-5- those stick around, obviously)

8. Due to the criticism of actual kids voicing the child characters, they go all the other way and cast 90 year olds doing very bad kid impresisons.

9. Every conflict is solved by Santa throwing fiery magic at the problem.

2. It's written by a 2012 Once-ler Tumblr fangirl, so there's a lot of Screw Yourself.

3. It exists at all. Lest we forget, one of the biggest criticisms of the original was how by giving the story a positive and uplifting resolution, it denies its audience the urgency of its very important Green Aesop, so by continuing from that point, it only accentuates that problem.

5. It contains a 5 minute scene of the Lorax twerking to the most obnoxious dubstep imaginable.

7. The film turns out to be a poorly disguised ad for the Dodge Challenger (and Dodge cars in general)

8. It features a crossover with Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat, who is inserted into the film via a poorly-done Roger Rabbit Effect.

9. Biggering is added to the film. The catch is that it's sung by O'Hare instead of The Once-ler.

10. In order to appeal to his Estrogen Brigade, the Once-ler is given Adaptational Heroism by having the fallout rest on the shoulders of his pushy family instead of him.


Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate

1. He actually does shoot them with the Dehydration Gun, except "them" in this case refers to Minion and Roxanne. Not Keiko, though. She's too good a character for that.

2. The animation is now rendered in 2D via Adobe Flash, with said 2D animation being on par with many Flash animated web shows of the noughties, but somehow even cheaper.

6. Metro Man returns to being a superhero despite his retirement in the original film; worse yet, he quickly transforms into a Homelander ripoff.

7. The Doom Syndicate is actually about dedicated players of Doom and the leader is John Romero's head.

[up][up] You joke, but the Megamind Rules show ends on a cliffhanger suggesting that they actually plan to do something like that.

8. Will Smith Fish joins the Doom Syndicate after being both fired and shot with the Dehydration Gun, and the movie treats him as being in the wrong despite the whole situation blatantly being Megamind's fault.
