All the loveable characters are back - Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), King Julien (Sacha Baron Cohen), Maurice (Cedric the Entertainer) and the Penguins - in Madagascar 2: The Crate Escape. Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it might just work! With military precision, the penguins have repaired the old crashed plane - sort of! Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just enough to make it to the wildest place of all - the vast plains of Africa itself! Can the zoo-raised crew survive in the wilderness?

Wasted on children

[Highly rated reviewer]

At last, after so many disappointing animations here's a great film that had me in bits. The characters, voice-overs and animation are all spot on and the jokes are aimed at kids and adults. The message, how a black man can come to accept his gay son is unusual and handled well without being cloying or overly sentimental. It’s hard to imagine who wouldn’t love this film.

still has all the humour

By Gaudete (26 reviews) , 01 May 2013

You could see what was going to happen. But the film was still enjoyable. Children really loved it as working way through all the series.

Many giggles

By Bermondsey91 (5 reviews) from Brandon , 19 Aug 2012

This movie gave me many giggles. Although to me the plot was obvious and I could tell what the outcome would be, I still enjoyed it.
