Description: Checkered Ninja 2 (2021) is an animated sequel that continues the adventure of Alex and the Checkered Ninja as they pursue the villain Phillip Eppermint, who has escaped prison in Thailand. While the film maintains the humor and character dynamics of the first installment, it shifts its primary setting to Thailand. However, some viewers note a slight decline in intensity compared to the original. The antagonist feels less menacing, and the witty remarks from the ninja are not as sharp as before.
Directed by Anders Matthesen and Thorbjørn Christoffersen, the film builds on the success of its predecessor, which became a Danish box-office phenomenon in 2018, amassing 950,000 admissions and reaching over 50 countries. Matthesen, who also wrote the screenplay, expressed higher ambitions for this sequel, aiming to create a visually enhanced and universally appealing story for audiences of all ages.
The production is led by Trine Heidegaard of Pop Up Production and Anders Mastrup of A Film Production, both renowned for their work on acclaimed animated projects. With a strong foundation in humor and storytelling, Checkered Ninja 2 seeks to captivate its audience once again, blending entertainment for children, teenagers, and adults alike.
