Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (Blu-ray Disc, 2009, Sensoramatic Blu-ray)

This movie is a blast. If I had all the time in the world, I'd watch this movie over and over with my daughter.

The music was fun and upbeat and the characters were over the top.

I never got to catch the first movie, but, it didn't seem to matter here. I caught myself laughing at many things I would never really have thought was funny, but it always seemed to entertain you and allow you to believe that the characters were real.

I'll give this a 5/5 for the laugh, however the work that went into this CGI technology is amazing.

DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MY REVIEWS BY CASTING YOUR VOTE. THANKS!

My kids loved the original Madagascar DVD. So we got the sequel in blu ray.

THE PROS:
+ the HD animation in blu ray is simply awesome... the vibrant colors and the crisp details make the animation come alive even more
+ the story & lessons are similar to the original madagascar in that they emphasize the value of friendship, loyalty, and overcoming adversity but they also add a different twist by adding the importance of family into it as well
+ I love the cute humor in the animation and think that the penguins are hilarious... they are back and they're as resourceful as ever
+ I always love stories with inventive gadgets in it, and the penguins and lemurs are back... creating functioning airplanes and parachutes

THE CONS:
- they tried adding a bit of puppy love element to this movie, and therefore turned this into a PG movie... not sure that it really made this movie a whole lot better... they could have done w/o it and kept it as a G rating
- the scary granny is back in this movie - with a vengeance... and while a NY granny beating up lions are funny as a cameo, she does this too much in this movie, and it gets a bit old

Overall, I gave this a 5 star rating but it's more like 4.5 stars for not quite living up to the high standards of the original. My kids love it (6 and 4) and I guess that's the most important litmus test. But they both clearly prefer Cars and Kung Fu Panda better.

great kids movie a lot like the 1st one it has a sad beginning but happy ending climax is great overall well rounded.

I am conform with my buyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Madagascar Escape 2 Africa is a film about friendship, hope and second chances

Madagascar Sequel Good for Whole Family

by Cassy Headley

In the first Madagascar, a cute little lion Alex gets taken by hunters and ends up in New York where he is kept in a zoo.
He meets some friends and they end up in Madagascar where they are housed by lemurs. In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa the group of animal friends decides to try to get back to New York (via plane flown by penguins) but end up crash landing in Africa. Trouble rears its ugly head when the plane the animals got there on is destroyed in their crash landing and Alex has to go through a type of initiation ceremony in order to be accepted back into his father’s pride of lions.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is entertainment for the whole family. Not only is it a cute animated tale of good verses evil, but like any other kids movie these days, it has adult content. I recommend this sequel to anyone who has seen the first Madagascar and to all of those who haven’t like me! It is easy to follow and the animation is attracting to the eye making it easily tolerable for all ages.

My unhappiness with the purchase is a result of my not reading the information well enough. The disc did not come with the movie case which was disclosed in the information, and the disc itself did not have color to the label. It gives the impression that it was not a store boughten copy but a light scribe cover for a burned disc. I feel like I just bought someone's burned disc.

Great price and the number of positive feed back proved to be correct. This merchant is tops in my book. Going to look fro more movies they sell right after this review in fact. :)

More of the same, they go from Madagascar to Africa. Have to save the pride/herd. Looks great on Blu-Ray. Bought it because the price was great.

I love the penguins antics in the movie. That is what makes the movie so funny.The
movie is full of adventure. The Blu-Ray Disc is awsome to watch.

As always bought an item on ebay that was brand new and shipped fast, also was the best price around, and I did not even have to go to a store to get it.

Having been working with computers since the early '80s I am a sucker for computer generated movies. I marvel at the skills shown by the craftsmen who have managed to produce algorythms that display water, individual blades of grass, and even the movement of furry hides with a realism that so closely approximates the real world. I have most of the computer animated films and shall continue to be drawn to the new movies as they become available.

As for the movie "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" content, it is entertaining but the story plot does not quite hold up to movies such as "Antz" or the more recent "Ratatouille". It is still enjoyable, however, and my rating as Good may mearly be an indication of my personal taste in plots.

It is a good famiy movie it is so clear and the colors are so rich.
I wanted to see the difference and I sure did

The movie is a little more predictable because its a sequel. The characters are predictable but extremely funny. Maybe if adding some new characters would make a good trilogy to the mix. Overall I enjoyed the movie, the length was about right, not to long. Its always hard to beat the first movie in a series.

Hilarious movie that is not too "kiddie". This film tops the first one by a million fold. The whole movie is great and will make you laugh.

We loved Madagasgar part one and wanted part 2. It made my whole family laugh out loud. I have a two year old so now we have to watch it about 5 times per day. It still never gets old. The Blu-ray features add so much more content and give hours of extra entertainment.

Love the Orignal and got the Blu-ray sequel. Me and my daughter love watching it and do enjoy both of them. Great for all ages.

This is the first animated movie I have watched on blu-ray and I am very impressed! The movie was great, even for a 23yr old college student!

I bought Madagascar:Escape 2 Africa on blu-ray a few weeks ago and I was impressed how clear it looks. I bought it for a very good price. I reall y recomend this movie. It was cheaper than a non blu-ray dvd.

Our family enjoyed the first Madagascar, and the family all enjoyed this one even more. Lots of fun flashes for the kids and adults alike. A great follow up story line to continue the animals exciting lives.

Great movie a lot suspense and action is good to watch a movie like this I recommended to everyone specialy now on bluray the graphics looks amazing
