I think that Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, is as good if not better than the original. There is much more action from the penguins, and their boss Skipper, which is great because I think they are the most funny part of the whole movie. Again we meet with the singing King Julien from the island and his companion, who are as funny as the penguins. After I saw this movie I am sure I will buy the DVD when it comes out, because you can watch the movie all over again and you will laugh for sure.
Good fun but not as good as the original. The animation looks superb but one cannot escape the feeling that some of the story line has been pilfered from "The Lion King".
A Good looking movie with some funny lines and the kids in particular will enjoy the banter between all the characters (Sacha Baron Cohen giving yet another funny as King Julien) but I did find it a little too predictable and not witty or clever enough.
It seems to have eschewed a great plot for fantastic animation instead which is a great shame.
All in all a perfectly fun way to spend a couple of hours, but I suspect it will not stay with you that long if you are over the age of 10 .
So, a tad disappointing for the adults, though it does look quite ravishing.
