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. In Madagascar: 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

Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa (Full Screen) customer reviews:
Granddaughter "Approved"
I purchased this for our granddaughter's DVD collection. She really enjoyed watching it the first time and enjoys it just as much each time she watches it. Rating: (M. Grochowalski, 2010-02-07) Product reviewed: Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa (Full Screen)
Hysterically Funny
Maybe I'm childish, but I find this movie hysterically funny for both a child and adult. I put this movie in for a three year old toddler and found myself enjoying it more than he did. Rating: (Joshua Querl, 2010-01-07) Product reviewed: Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa (Full Screen)
very happy with my purchase
This is the first time that I have ever bought anything off of Amazon.com. I got the video and it was brand new. Would buy something again Rating: (Nina Somers, 2009-12-31) Product reviewed: Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa (Full Screen)
Disney of course it's good
Bought as a present for my 4 yr. old, the whole family, especially the grandparents loved it. She has watched it at least 12 times now and still wants to watch it again. Rating: (Sherri Taylor, 2009-12-28) Product reviewed: Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa (Full Screen)
Very good follow-up to the first movie
My oldest child loves the Madagascar movies and TV shows (did you know the Penguins have their own series?). This movie did not disappoint. He sat with rapt attention throughout the whole movie in the theater, and when he got it for X-Mas this year he sat through it again laughing and enjoying it like he was seeing it for the first time.
