Leave your thoughts about Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanMadagascar: Escape 2 Africa is better-looking, funnier, and has a better story [than the original]. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim LaneFans of the 2005 original will find this sequel more of the same. So will the original's detractors -- it was lousy then and it's lousy now. |
| MoviedexAnders WotzkeIn a post WALL-E world, it's hard not to be slightly underwhelmed by Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThe characters seem better developed this time and the story lines are stronger. |
| Times (UK)James ChristopherEric Darnell and Tom McGrath's exhilarating cartoon is a medley of comic humiliations as the sophisticated New Yorkers fail to cut the mustard in the real wild. The Heath Robinson invention will delight adults. The ironies will thrill kids. Great fun. |
| MovieTime, ABC Radio NationalJason Di RossoThe pop culture references, the dance numbers and the in-jokes we enjoyed in the first film are here for parents and kids alike, as is the irreverent humour. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterI am no great fan of sequels, and am especially suspicious of movies that try to cross-over between adult and child audiences. But this one won me over early on. |
| Florida Times-UnionMatt SoergelDoesn't mess with a good thing. That means many prankish penguins, loony lemurs and that "move it, move it" song, all over again. |
| Sacramento BeeCarla MeyerBoasting talented voice actors and characters already beloved by the audience, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa still only adds up to middling. |
| The AustralianDavid StrattonIt's a very handsome production, and a pretty funny one, too, which will keep audiences of all ages -- except perhaps the most cynical -- thoroughly entertained. |
