The film was released on December 28, 2000, and was met with positive reviews.
Plot[]
The story takes place after the first film. After uncovering a secret plot of Doom Vercetti and Carl H'Sur to assassinate the mayor of Greeny City, Geo Guy accidentally kills a suspiciously dressed person who is actually a secret agent, so he, Green Bob and Leah has to take his place and rescue the mayor.
Production[]
In December 1997, a sequel was announced by Disney, Sony and Pixar under the working title The Geo's World Movie 2. Following a successful collaboration with the original film, Tom Kenny, the voice of Green Bob, had signed a two-year, first-look production deal with Pixar, where he also signed director John Lasseter to a two-year deal. The film was produced with a US $60 million budget.
Pixar began production of the film in 1998, which was actually before A Bug's Life was even completed. On July 9, 1999, Geo announced that he is working on the script, and that the release date was set for Christmas 2000 instead of its date of December 15, 2000, to avoid competition with The Emperor's New Groove, another Disney film.
Unlike Geo's 1st Movie, which has musical elements, the sequel would ditch them, and this would be the case for all future Geo's World movies as Disney finally agreed to allow Geo G. to have more creative control over the film.
