Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa Cinema Review



Our favourite zoo escapee’s return in another wild adventure as they find themselves marooned far away from home once again in this sequel to the 2005 animated comedy.

Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo and Melman the Giraffe are all set to leave Madagascar with King Julien, Maurice, the chimps and the Penguin crew in an old plane repaired by the not-quite capable flippers of the penguins.

Our misfit group manage to stay airborne just long enough to leave the island before they find themselves crash-landing in the plains of Africa. There they encounter lost friends and relatives and have to look deep inside themselves to rediscover their instincts and to learn who they really are.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is full of fun and is a great watch for all the family. It doesn’t quite live up to the standards of the first film but, few sequels do so it definitely doesn’t stop it being a brilliant movie.
