Review of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) by Freedomfighters — 14 Nov 2016

Not every sequel will come along and be this gigantic improvement over the first film, but the least it can do is try to at least stand on its own and be an entertaining film in its own right. That rings true here: while "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" is not leaps-and-bounds better than its predecessor, it's certainly a worthwhile successor: the characters are great and more well-developed, the animation is still great, the film has some great humor and a good amount of heart.

Sure, it might not be as strong as some of DreamWorks' other efforts (it was released in the same year as "Kung Fu Panda," after all), but "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" is a rock-solid film that will entertain people of all ages.
