Siqueira and the owner of Tele-Image, Philippe Siaretta, even refer to the castle of the movie as "R$ 1.99" (Brazil) to highlight how much the lack of money was restrictive for them.

The album consists of songs performed by the protagonist, presenter Xuxa Meneghel and other artists such as Deborah Blando, Thiago Fragoso and Paulinho Moska.
but it was negative in relation to the plot "formatted to house speeches full of good intentions about the right to differences and the value of love - they are about ten of each, at least - it continues to doubt the spectator's intelligence.
"[21] For critical Marcelo Hessel of the site Omelete, the film is the worst of the year, writing that "If the script already shows a little predictable, no problem: the basic function of the film is to teach friendship lessons in a way" If the original of 2001 had at least some technical quality, the continuation lacks visual and narrative defects, the stage set with cones, sparkles and smoke appears to be wrong.
"[33] For Rubens Ewald Filho from Uol, the film is "very bad", "Even High Definition (HDTV), has a grainy and poorly defined image (particularly in interior and night scenes).
It has one of the most scandalous merchandisings in Film History Brazilian, who also has a sad past on the subject: not only an English school, but a cookie brand that is an entire and annoying commercial.And must have lacked money in production because everything is very ugly, art direction is horrible and very, very poor.

"He said he had never seen a makeup job" so badly done (Vera Fischer's can be even hilarious) and merchandising "Embedded in context") have become music video and movie scene!.
"[37] Juliana Lima writing for Cinefilos said that like "Elves 1", the sequel has a "predictable plot and the good wins in the end.
Not for the bad jokes - which are saved only by the performance of prestigious figures such as Tadeu Mello and Cláudia Rodrigues - but for all the rest: the peculiar characterization of the characters, such as Vera Fischer's fairy queen; of special effects and scenarios that seem to be much older than they really are or the storyline itself.
