The universe was governed by Constellations, groups of planets and stars led by benevolent families that ruled with imagination and fairness. During the Golden Age, travel between planets and stars were common with the use of airships that would sail the Sea of Stars. The film starts with a depiction of the Golden Age. It is also the first DreamWorks Animation film to be rated PG-13 as it has a lot of thematic elements throughout. The film grossed $950 million worldwide against its $180 million budget. The film was released on December 25, 2018 and unlike it's predecessor, received largely positive reviews, with critics praising its animation, voice acting, musical score, action sequences, emotional depth, character development, and darker, more serious tone compared to its predecessor, although the plot was criticized as a derivative of both Kung Fu Panda 2 and Rise of the Guardians. However, Jamie discovers a terrifying secret about his past, and discovers that Pitch Black has something to do with it. Set several months after the first film, the plot revolves around the Guardians who enlist young Jamie to save the world from both Pitch Black and Heat Miser who have very powerful weapons that they plan to destroy children's imaginations with.

Peter Ramsey, the director of the first movie, did not return for the film due to his occupation with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse but remained as both creative consultant and additional story artist. Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Christina Steinberg directed the movie with Joyce and Guillermo del Toro being executive producers of the film. 2 is a 2018 American 3D computer-animated action-adventure fantasy dramedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures.
