All the loveable characters are back — Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo, King Julien, Maurice and the penguins — in “Madagascar: The Crate Escape.”
Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane — sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all — the vast plains of Africa itself — where our zoo-raised crew encounters species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their roots, they quickly realize the differences between the concrete jungle and the heart of Africa. Despite long-lost relatives, romantic rivals and scheming hunters, Africa seems like a “crack-a-lackin” great place…but is it better than their Central Park home?

I liked the first film and I loved this one. Every age can enjoy
this movie. Like my son said ” the penguine were cool dudes” My kids
loved this film.
The animation is as breathtakingly beautiful as before and if anything, the sequel is funnier and sharper than the original.
this movie was really good saw it at readings in wellington its really
funny how the animals are flying a plane. The lion meets his real mum
and dad where they landed it was so sweet. It is a really good movie and
would recommend it to everyone who likes animated films we even took
our 6mnth daughter.
Good movie, kids love it! Not quite as good as the first one though
