I think the reviews on here are mainly based on the viewer's age. The older viewer prefers the original. The younger viewer prefers, or sees no problem, with the sequel.
As an older viewer, I can only compare the two. And my review title says it all.
The original was a family movie that I could enjoy with my parent's grandparents and children.
The sequel is a movie that appears to be made for children. That bored me and my parents and my 14-year-old son. My 10-year-old daughter enjoyed it.
Maybe the original was made for children? And it just so happened that other ages could enjoy it? But the sequel fails to hit the mark, in my opinion.
