Who dies at the end of All Dogs Go to Heaven 2?

All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 is a sequel to All Dogs Go to Heaven, released in 1996. It was co-directed by Larry Leker, a storyboard artist on the original, and served as the Pilot Movie for All Dogs Go To Heaven: The Series, which debuted about six months later.

It starts off with Charlie in Heaven, where he's joined by Itchy soon after. Gabriel's Horn, which is used to open the gates to Heaven and allow the souls of deceased dogs to enter, is stolen by Carface (for the evil Red to use). Charlie volunteers to get it along with Itchy "volunteering" as well. It's up to them to save Heaven before it's too late, but that isn't to say there won't be some surprises along the way.

As was the case with all but one of the sequels to his movies, Don Bluth was not involved. It's also the only other sequel to a Bluth film (after An American Tail: Fievel Goes West) to get a theatrical release rather than be Direct to Video.

This animated film provides examples of the following tropes:

• Actor Allusion: During his Villain Song, Red puts Carface in a barber's chair and proceeds to shave him, a clear Shout-Out to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. George Hearn, who voiced Red, was also one of the many actors to have played the titular barber in one production of the musical.
• All Men Are Perverts: Charlie doesn't even hesitate to jump up on stage during Sasha's number and try to kiss her and only doesn't because he's a ghost at that point. Even when he becomes tangible again, he continues to follow and hit on her and passes on his ability to talk to humans by turning invisible and reappearing in front of her to give her a long, hard kiss on the mouth.
• Almost Kiss: After Charlie and Sasha sing "I Will Always Be With You", they're about to kiss. Unfortunately, the sun sets, and the collar Red gave Charlie wears off (the collar allowed the wearer to be visible only until sunset on the next day), and Charlie becomes a ghost again. Doubles as a Moment Killer.

• Always with You: Has a nice little song based around this.
• Ambiguous Syntax: In an effort to get rid of Charlie, Sasha tells him she's "got a kid." Charlie assumes this to mean that she's a single mother. She actually means she's taking care of a human kid.
• Animation Bump: Due to outsourcing to various studios, detail in animation is very inconsistent compared to the first film. In some shots, it actually comes very close to replicating the original's level of detail. In others, it borders on Saturday morning cartoon standard. The TV series was shrewd enough to use some of the film's better scenes for a Title Montage, which causes an even bigger bump next to the actual show's Limited Animation.
• Art Evolution: The first film was animated with detailed, fluid classical animation. The sequel, meanwhile, has softer, more simplified designs, a pastel color palette and fewer inbetweens.
• Art Shift: The scene where Red reveals his true form to Charlie is drawn, colored, and animated in a much looser fashion.
• Artistic License – Biology: Well, how else would two dogs have shared The Big Damn Kiss at the end? Lampshaded by Itchy early on when he's trying to tell Sasha that his "lips are sealed" in regards to where Charlie is and takes great effort showing her his nonexistent lips.
• Award-Bait Song: "It's Too Heavenly Here (Reprise)
  
  " by Sheena Easton and Jesse Corti and "I Will Always Be With You
  
  " by Danny Frazier and Helen Darling.
• Back from the Dead: Charlie, permanently at the end...or at least he's given 20 years, which is very generous for a large dog. Itchy's given the same offer, but declines; he lived a full life and is content to stay in Heaven. That and he prefers angelic flying to running on his short legs.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: Charlie and Sasha, up until the "I Will Always Be with You" number.
• Big Bad: Red, the giant demonic hellcat masquerading as an older dog for most of the film, whose endgame is to use Gabriel's Horn to suck all dogs out of Heaven and into Hell.
• The Big Damn Kiss: Charlie and Sasha get their kiss at the end of the movie, with "It's Too Heavenly Here" playing on in the background.
• Black Comedy: The "new arrivals" to Heaven. From Itchy coughing up the chicken bone he choked on to the dog still in the process of being strangled by a mailbag string, it's made abundantly clear how each of them died.
• Blind People Wear Sunglasses: When David pretends to be a blind boy with Charlie, Itchy, and Sasha as his guide dogs, he puts on a pair of sunglasses.
• Call-Back: It's very subtle, as no names are given, but when Charlie finally tells Sasha the truth about himself, he expresses a major regret making promises he can't actually keep. This would infer his last meeting with Anne-Marie was, and always has been, on his mind.
• Canine Confusion: Starting from this movie, Annabelle the Whippet has no visible ears, for unknown reasons.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Red. His Villain Song is even devoted to this.
• Casting Gag: Sasha, the Irish setter, is played by Scottish singer/actress Sheena Easton. Sasha is also shown to be an accomplished singer.
• Cats Are Mean: Red and his minions are all cats. Apparently, cats are not only mean but also The Legions of Hell. Despite appearances, it's implied that Red is not Old Scratch himself, but an Elite Mook — or possibly even a lap cat. Charlie makes mention of "his boss" yanking his leash, which could be a reference to the dragon in the first film being Satan.
• The Chanteuse: Sasha during "Count Me Out", though she was merely doing it for a big prize she hoped for to feed a runaway boy named David.
• Cherubic Choir: Groups of angel dogs singing are seen at a few points during the film.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: Deconstructed. After his collar expires, Charlie wants to honor his promise to David and ends up making a deal with Red (unaware of what that'll mean until he's already agreed to it).
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome:
  • Flo, Charlie's implied possible dog love interest in the first movie, is never mentioned.
  • Anne-Marie, although she's briefly mentioned in one scene, but not by name.
  • Killer, making this the only entry in the series without him.
• Confusing Multiple Negatives: Averted, yet it leads to a very dissonant situation in the ending. When David and his stepmom reunite, she doesn't say "Just because I'm having this baby doesn't mean I don't love you"- instead, it's "Just because I'm having this baby doesn't mean I love you". And then David hugs her anyways.
• Cultural Translation: This film is set in San Francisco, unlike the New Orleans setting of the original.
• Deadpan Snarker:
  • Charlie's in fine form in this movie, especially after he sends Red back to Hell:

    Charlie: "Hello... double chili CAT burger with onions and pickles!"

  • Also when he tried to retrieve Gabriel's Horn from the police station but couldn't fit it through the bars.

    Charlie: "It couldn't have been Gabriel's Flute, or Gabriel's Kazoo, nooooo..."

• Deal with the Devil:
  • Carface makes a deal with the Big Bad demon cat Red, a collar allowing him to be physical on Earth in exchange for his soul (though in his defense, he thought he meant a "sole", as in the bottom of a shoe). When Red is finally defeated and sucked into Hell, he decides to cash in on the deal and sends his minions to drag Carface into Hell with him.
  • Then Charlie and Itchy strike a bargain with Red for two collars that will only last until sunset. Although the latter is reluctant and displeased, and still wants to retrieve Gabriel's Horn and go straight back to Heaven like Annabelle asked them to do.
  • And lastly, Charlie, who wants to keep his promise to David, makes another bargain with Red. He will give Gabriel's Horn to him if he gives him another collar (although he has to wear the collar first in order to do that).
• Defeat Equals Friendship: After they both met their end in the first film, Charlie seems to relate to Carface better than anyone else in Heaven at the start of the film, even feeling a bit betrayed when the latter (seemingly) starts to become a more upstanding angel.
• Demoted to Dragon: Carface spends all his time subservient to the demonic Red. He doesn't seem to mind so long as Red is happy.
• Disneyfication: Unlike the original, this film has several musical numbers, a much lighter tone (the demonic villain Red notwithstanding), and a brighter, softer color palette.
• Donut Mess with a Cop: When David and Charlie need to distract the cops in the police station, David announces a truck with fresh donuts has arrived. All cops immediately run outside to get some.
• Dragged Off to Hell: Red's endgame plan is to drag every dog in Heaven down to Hell. He manages to get Carface in the end because his Deal with the Devil.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: Itchy makes his first appearance in this movie having died from choking on a chicken bone.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: Played straight in the end of the movie when Charlie is granted life (at least until he dies again), where he gets together with Sasha and both live with David and his family
