ESCAPE 2 AFRICA

"Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa"
By: Chris Avery







Well I have to be honest and admit that I did not see the first Madagascar movie…tsk tsk tsk shame on me right, doing a movie review on a sequel without seeing the first movie. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa was a pretty darn good movie, for those CG (Computer Graphic) animation admirers you guys would be pretty impressed on the graphics. My girlfriend gave me a 5-minute run down on what the first one was about; so from her little summary I was able to somewhat understand what was going on. Escape 2 Africa explains how Alex (the lion) got to New York, and apparently it picks up where the previous movie left off. The animals are trying to get back to New York on a plane, which would be flown by penguins, which are hilarious in the movie. The plane crashes and the four zoo pals encounter other animals of their own kind, Alex (the lion) finally is reintroduced to his parents and all seems well. Another lion is not happy; Makunga (Alex Baldwin) wants to find a way to replace the tribe leader Zuba (Bernie Mac) Alex’s father. The movie is great for the kids and good enough to keep the older audiences happy. I am not going to spoil the rest of the movie so go and see it, to get a better understanding watch the first movie.

I still haven’t come around to do so…
