The creative crew of art directors Alice Mak, Brian Tse (also producer and screenplay) and director Toe Yuen again assembled for the sequel that remains true to the established visual style but for the longest of time, you do wonder if the Mak/Tse/Yuen team have left the building completely. Bear with me, and bear with them, to get your rewards however.

The constant building redeveloping are about to hit the McDull's and making sure their future is set, Ms. McDull gets herself the greatest grave plot overlooking the sea. McDull himself may have developed great calves from his bun snatching training but not being able to utilize that, he's developed leg shaking, much to his mothers distress. Feeling time is coming somewhat to an end for the two in terms of life purposes, Ms. McDull deviates from the usual Harry Potter bedtime story one night and instead brings us the boring, as the narration warns us, story of Prince de la Bun, all while we're scratching our heads as to what is going on. Is it fantasy? Is it reality?

While it's still a short feature, the makers manages to express their point finally about what the purpose of this rather abstract story is about and they really hit a stride in terms of themes all throughout subsequently. McDull, Prince De La Bun still is about dreams and that you have to do well in the moment in order to be well in the future but explores it in a much more somber way, making the film actually less suitable for the kids this time around. The full reward will come with a 2nd viewing as Toe Yuen and co. take more abstract roads for their thematic purposes but it's worth the short ride.
