8/10
Solid sequel
27 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The Robinson family face further perils in the form of a fierce blizzard, an avalanche, and an especially ferocious pack of wolves led by the fearsome Scarface. In between these harrowing situations the Robinsons relish the simple pleasures of living in the woods as well as happily celebrate both Thanksgiving and Christmas together.

Director Frank Zuniga keeps the enjoyable and eventful story moving along at a steady pace as well as maintains a pleasant tone throughout. Of course, we get the usual assortment of adorable animals along with a few nasty ones. The appealing and attractive cast help a lot: Robert Logan as rugged dad Skip, Susan Damante as fretful mom Pat, Heather Rattray as spunky teen daughter Jenny, and Ham Larson as sweet son Toby. Moreover, the always welcome George "Buck" Flower lends lively support as scruffy and crotchety mountain man Boomer, who becomes an adopted member of the family. Barry Williams of "The Brady Bunch" fame warbles a few delightfully corny songs on the soundtrack. John Hora's lovely and sunny cinematography offers plenty of breathtaking footage of the gorgeous sylvan scenery. A worthy follow-up.
