PRODUCTION
Filming began in January 1994 and ended in August 1994. The film was originally going to be released in August 1995, but was pushed to December to allow more time for VFX work as well as reshoots. The original release date of June was taken by Pocahontas, another film by Disney.

Reshoots took place from October to November 1994 and January to March 1995. Most of the reshoots (2nd half) for Tupac's scenes took place in the Clinton Correctional Facility, as he was serving a prison sentence there.

MARKETING
Following a production teaser released on December 31 1994 during Dick Clark's New Years Rockin Eve, the first teaser debuted in June 1995 in front of all theatrical prints of Pocahontas and some theatrical prints of Batman Forever. 2 months later, a new full trailer was released, attached to A Walk In The Clouds and A Kid In King Arthur's Court.

RECEPTION
The film received critical acclaim, with many calling it one of the best films of 1995 as well as being better than the first film. The film has a 98% certified fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite facing competition with Toy Story, which was released a month before the film was released, the film was a major box office success, ranking #1 in its opening weekend for 2 weeks, before being beat by Toy Story in its third weekend. It beat Toy Story the following week to reclaim #1, and stayed on top of the box office until the release of The Birdcage.
