The return of the bad sequel

Rating: 4/10 (31 December 2008)

After seeing the original Madagascar as few years back with the family, we all rated it as one of our all time favorites. Funny, fast, cute characters, the music, all tops.
We had high expectations for the sequel but were disappointed. It wasn't too bad but had a. Too many references to the original - b. Unhinged slow predictable plot - c. That awful old lady and d. again that syrupy father-son relations issues that drag on and on.
It should leave some of the old minor characters behind, get a quicker pace, some real plot and for crying out loud *a new song*
Well, at least the animation was top notch as expected by major releases.
