***The Movie of a Teenage Rabbot 2: The Rose System Crisis*** is a 2024 American 3D computer-animated science-fiction adventure comedy film directed by Anthony Bell and Cody Cameron. Based on the NBC animated television *My Life as a Teenage Rabbot* by Rob Renzetti, it is a direct sequel to *The Movie of a Teenage Rabbot* (2022), and reprises the voice talents of Lisa Ortiz, Kristen Schaal, Niki Yang, Carey Mulligan, Jane Alexander, E. G. Daily, Grace Rolek, Miranda Cosgrove, and guest stars Rick Astley.
In the film, a massive security breach at the Rose Systems Company causes Katherine Milton's Rose System (RS) prototype units to shut down. However, Gwendolyn Sherwood the Rabbot, the 9th prototype unit and the oldest of the pack, remained unaffected amidst the hack. After some lengthy digital digging in the source code of the Rose Systems Company files, it was found out that Ken Kennedy Wilson, an infamous cyberhacker and technology mastermind, was responsible for the hack. Gwendolyn later found out that her arch-nemesis, Stephanie Faulkner, was of Ken's assistance, which made her job harder.
Production on a sequel to *The Movie of a Teenage Rabbot* began in January 2023, following the commercial success of the film. In December 2023, three months before the original release of the film, a data breach of Universal Animation Studios caused the film to be leaked by an unknown identity. As a result of the data breach, directors Anthony Bell and Cody Cameron slated the film back by six months to September. Rob Renzetti returned to write the screenplay and story, with Brian Lynch also returning to write the screenplay. Christopher Lennertz returned from the first film to compose the score for the sequel.
*The Movie of a Teenage Rabbot 2: The Rose System Crisis* premiered in Glasgow on July 5th, 2024, before it was theatrically released on September 20th, 2024. Unlike its predecessor, where it received acclaim from critics, the sequel received mixed reviews; critics praised the animation, voice acting, humor, score by Christopher Lennertz and faithfulness to the source material, but criticized the plot, screenplay, continuity errors and its use of profane language. Despite the mixed reception, it was a box office success, grossing $1.395 billion at the worldwide box office against its budget of $150-165 million.

Film leak
*Main article: Leaking of The Movie of a Teenage Rabbot 2: The Rose System Crisis*
On December 25th, 2023, three months before the original release of the film, a massive data breach of the Universal Animation Studios services caused the unfinished 130 minute feature film to be leaked to the public, first making it onto Twitter. Considered one of the biggest data breaches in the entertainment and animation industry, similar to that of the leaking of *Grand Theft Auto VI* in 2022, police began a manhunt to catch the culprit responsible.
On December 28th, three days after the leak, the suspect in question - who was from Michigan - was found guilty in the leaking of the film, and was sentenced to 25 years at the Federal Correctional Institution in Milan, Michigan.

Animation
The animation for the film took place at Universal Animation Studios' main facilities in Universal City, California, with additional animation being handled at Reel FX Animation.

Trivia

Notes
1. ↑ Rabbot is derived from the combination of the words "robot" and "rabbit".
2. ↑ In October 2023, during the shows Tara Strong was fired from the *My Life as a Teenage Rabbot* production team following some very grey things that were said by her during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war that prompted the immediate removal of her role from the series entirely, and was thus replaced indefinitely by Grey Griffin.
