Guardian Angel 2

***Guardian Angel 2*** is a 2019 American 3D computer-animated fantasy-comedy film produced by Nickelodeon Movies and Nickelodeon Animation Studio, with animation handled by Sony Pictures Imageworks. The sequel to the 2016 film *Guardian Angel* and the second feature film in the franchise, it was again directed by Aaden Chase from a screenplay by Jonathan Aibel and Gleen Berger based on a story by Chase, Karey Kirkpatrick, Aibel and Berger. Voice cast Chris Pratt, Anna Kendrick and John Krasinski reprise their roles from the first film, along with new additions including Zoe Saldana and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Plans for a sequel began in 2016 and were announced to be in the works in July 2016 following the critical and commercial success of the first film. Chase, who directed the first film, agreed to return to direct the second film on the condition that he would be allowed to turn it into a saga. The new installment went through three different scripts before the filmmakers settled on the final plot, while Chase also wanted to include some unused ideas from the first film. By late 2017, much of the original cast confirmed they had signed on, with new cast members added in 2018.

*Guardian Angel 2* was released in the United States on September 14, 2019, by Paramount Pictures. The film received universally positive reviews from critics, who commended its humor, characters, screenplay, animation, and the vocal performances of Pratt and Kendrick, although some were mixed on the film for "playing it safe" and said it was not as "fresh" as the first film. The film made $227.9 million in its opening weekend, setting the record for best debut for an animated film, has grossed over $1.6 billion worldwide over a $200 million budget, making it the highest-grossing animated film of all time, the second highest-grossing film of 2019, the fifth highest-grossing film of all time in the United States and Canada, the eighth highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, and Nickelodeon Movies' highest-grossing film of all time. A sequel is currently in development.
