Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I enjoyed the books and the first season.

How did I like this?
I loved it! No surprise there. I think they did a great job with Kate and Edwina's relationship and family circumstance. I also loved getting so much Eloise! The Featheringtons continued to crack me up.

It does drag near the end, but overall I thought it was a solid season. I was more invested in Eloise and Penelope's friendship than Kate and Anthony though.

Because it's Pixar.

How did I like this?
I'll admit that I was not excited for this one. The previews did nothing for me. But I loved how this one definitely stepped out of the squeak clean Disney-Pixar box. It deals with some major topics! INCLUDING PERIODS!!! Meilin's mom goes all out when she thinks Meilin has become a woman!

It did a lot of things wonderfully, and it's cute, but I didn't cry. But I am now a 4-Town fan, because A+ soundtrack.
