While it maintained the expected animation quality, Dawn of the Nugget really suffered in the writing department.

Dialogue delivery is extremely stilted, or just plain awkward. The jokes especially, are just bad, and seem to think of themselves as hilarious. The edit will often leave a pause before a joke is delivered, and an even longer pause afterwards, seemingly leaving space for the audience to explode with uncontrollable laughter.

Along with these forced pauses, the editing feels like it's moving at a snail's pace, often lingering on shots that take forever to give way to the next scene. Maybe they just didn't have enough material from the already stretched thin premise to hit the standard runtime.

Unfortunately, a really weak sequel after a fantastic first movie.
