Z-Realm 2



Z-Realm 2 is a theatrical sequel to Z-Realm, released shockingly two years after. Once again, the film is traditionally animated. This time around, the plot is focused more on Jake and Marla, as they try to save Zarc. Unlike the first, this movie was more on the short side when it comes to feature-length films, running for only 1 hour and 2 minutes. The reason for this, as stated by the movie's director, was that "There's more," implying that the third movie will serve as a second part to this one.

Plot/Synopsis
Jake, Marla and Zarc find the White Shadow Monster, dwelling deep within the backend of the Z-Realm. He tries putting all of them under his control, but only ends up getting Zarc. Jake and Marla rush back to the academy, and the movie fades to black.

Age Rating
Another thing this film pulled off that the first one simply couldn't, was getting a PG-13 rating. This was for the escalated disturbing imagery compared to that of the first.

The voice actor for Marla stated in an interview that: "We're going for that same tone with the third movie. Also, my character's gonna drop an F-bomb."

Production
This movie, along with the third one, entered production as soon as the hype for the first one died down. The third movie was quote: "75% done" when the second one was released, and at the time, they had already started brainstorming for the fourth and fifth ones.

Reception
Not everyone appreciated the runtime of the movie, but it was still received fairly well. Critics gave it a lower percent rating than the first one and audiences believed it to be better than the first.
