Beethoven's 2nd is a 1993 American family comedy film. Directed by Rod Daniel and written by Len Blum, it is the sequel to the 1992 film Beethoven, second installment in the Beethoven film series and the last to be released theatrically.

Plot
In the Newton family home, George, Alice, Ryce, Ted, Emily, and Beethoven are all well-adjusted to living together. One day, Beethoven sneaks out and meets a female St. Bernard, Missy, and her owner, Brillo. However, Brillo's future ex-wife, Regina, arrives with her new boyfriend, Floyd, takes Missy, and is seeking $50,000 in the settlement as alimony. Regina has retained full custody of Missy and only plans to transfer her to Brillo once the divorce is finalized.
