The second outing for 'The Famous Five' and for my money it's less iconic, almost certainly better. The budgets slightly higher and they seem to have seen what went well in the first one and streamlined it.
I liked the fact that it IS treated as a direct sequel to the first one, though it is a bit of a shame that the 'bite' that the first one had seems to have been toned down a bit here...no beastiality references, killing dogs or calling out how racist the original books were here...
STILL! It's jolly good fun, like I say, I enjoyed it arguably moreso than the original. And it's definitely one of the classics.
