Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (DVD, 2009, Sensormatic Widescreen)

This movie is a blast. The follow-up to 2005's "Madagascar", in which New York Zoo animals, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo, still stranded on Madagascar, start to leave the island. The group suddenly lands in Africa, where Alex meets all the rest of his family, but has trouble communicating with them after spending so much time around people at the Central Park Zoo.

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.

Ben Stiller ... Alex (voice)
Chris Rock ... Marty / Additional Zebras (voice)

It's rare when a family movie sequel follows closely behind it's predecessor. Naturally the conflict story was up with stronger cliches and some laughs were down via tender-ish moments but all in all it's definitely enjoyable. Dreamworks is really cranking out some good stuff lately. Thank goodness the original cast (Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, etc) wasn't replaced.

Features Actors Voices:Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer, Bernie Mac,Sherrie Shepherd & Alec Baldwin
Running Time:89 Min.
Rating:PG

After being stranded on the tiny, titular African island, our four heroes -- egomaniacal lion Alex (Ben Stiller), hypochondriac giraffe Melmen (David Schwimmer), smart alecky zebra Marty (Chris Rock), and lovelorn hippo Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) -- are finally headed home. On a junk airplane refurbished by those pesky penguins, self-proclaimed King Julien (Sacha Baron Cohen), along with his right-hand advisor Maurice (Cedric the Entertainer) will take the quartet back to New York. Of course, things don't go as planned, and everyone ends up in the middle of a wildlife preserve in Africa. There, Alex meets up with his dad Zuba(Bernie Mac), mom (Sherrie Shepherd), and conniving Uncle Makunga (Alec Baldwin). Makunga (Alec Baldwin), however, sees the reunion of father and son as a means to banish both from the group, making him the new king. Marty, meanwhile, is having identity issues as a member of the zebra pack, and Gloria is unimpressed with the male hippos. Melman becomes the giraffes’ new witch doctor, but is told he has two days to live during his first day on the job. When the fun-loving feline fails at the tribe's right of passage, however, it's clear these big city critters need to get back to Manhattan, and fast.

Hope this helps you decide.Thanks for reading! :)

I got a bootleg dvd, that's all I can say.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I made this purchase of this movie for my son because he loved the first movie. I disliked my purchase because it was a pirated copy that had approximately 2 mins of the end of The Lion King movie and nothing else. Now, I have no movie.

I was really excited about seeing the sequel to Madagascar, because I really loved the first, and this looked just as good, and in my opinion it almost was. Both of them are excellent films and this just made me appreciate the first more. When it started up I was immediately sucked in, and I never became uninterested and it never stopped entertaining, because they did an excellent job at keeping your attention. There were some parts in the movie where I felt as if they tried too hard to please the audience and then others it got a little dumb and boring, but overall I laughed I almost cried and when it was over I wanted to watch it again. It's a great sequel to a great movie and I enjoyed watching it as much as the first.

DVD was just as promised. Great seller!! Quick delivery!! Good track record. Description was right on. It is a DVD..don't think there is need for more than 100 characters.

I had been waiting to see this film and was not disappointed. It's a great followup to the original story.

The colors came in beautifully on my new HD LCD even though the screen is only 27".

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys animated films.
