Amazon.co.uk Review

The sequel to the animated movie Madagascar gives more of everything audiences loved in the first movie: More of the penguins; more of Julian, king of the lemurs; more musical bits of classic rock; and many, many more lions, zebras, hippos, and giraffes. In the first film, a quartet of coddled zoo animals found themselves shipwrecked on the island of Madagascar in a misguided effort to return them to the wild. InMadagascar: Escape 2 Africa, a failed attempt to fly back to New York maroons Alex the lion (voiced by Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Gloria the hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the giraffe (David Schwimmer) in an animal preserve on the African continent, accompanied by the four deranged penguins and the lunatic lemur king (deliriously voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat). By wild coincidence, this is where Alex was born--and where his father is still the alpha lion, and where his malevolent uncle seeks to take over (let's call this an homage to The Lion King). The other beasts have their own story arcs, but really it's all an excuse for daffy comic bits. Though the result is disposable, it's also entirely entertaining. The action sequences pop with dizzying spectacle; though some jokes are mainstream fodder, more often they're surprisingly quirky and engagingly oddball. This is the best kind of cotton candy filmmaking--it dissolves into nothing, but it's oh-so-sweet to the taste. --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Blu-Ray, 26 Aug 2009
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
`Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa` is pretty much your typical animation. Following the format of the first film this has plenty of fun and humour for the kids, as well as some `in jokes' and touches to keep the adults entertained and well. This film follows the same group of animals as they try to return to New York from Madagascar and end up returning to their roots in Africa instead. You get the same great cast doing the voice overs from the first film and some extra voice talent to compliment them. You may also be glad to hear the penguins are still there in all their evil, brooding glory and the Lemur King Julian manages to hitch a ride as well. In fact King Julian comes out with some of the best lines in the film. The animation is ok, not as good as other films I`ve seen but still credible and solid competition to films released by the Pixar studio. The music is pretty good as well. You can also watch this as stand alone film if you haven't seen the first film as some back story is supplied. This is light hearted and fun, about all that it sets out to be and if you enjoyed the first film or are a fan of animation in general then this is well worth checking out.

This is definitely a sequel! It takes a couple of elements from the first film and overuses them while giving an even heavier dose of mushy disney like anthropmorphism... Read more
