Better than the original movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2008)

If I remember the original correctly, this one is much better than the original. Much more comedy, and a better plot so you can get to know the characters much better than the Hippo being, "that fat woman" played by Jada Pinkett Smith. Okay, the hippo's name is Gloria. I'm glad that all the characters were played by the same people, but I quite don't remember Melman's personality or Melman even being a guy, but I'm glad he's a guy and I enjoy his caring personality and his facial features that reminds me of a certain celebrity.
The animals from Madagascar invented a plane, well, the penguins and apparently the monkeys invented a plane to escape from Madagascar to go back to New York. Guess what? They have good news and bad news. Good news, they're landing. Bad news, they're crash landing! Yeah, got that joke from the movie. Yeah, so, they landed in Africa and you find out that's where you will find Alex's father, and he has to prove himself to be a lion. Also, the Zebra, Hippo, and the Giraffe find other Giraffes, Hippos, etc and are very happy.
Also, Alex, the lion has another problem. The Zebra Marty is confused about himself and doesn't feel unique because all the other Zebras act just like him and are played by Chris Rock, and in fact they are so alike that Alex mistakes one for being Marty for a while until the real Marty shows up angry at him that he's not unique and depressed.
This movie had a better plot than the original as I remember it. Makes a great movie than those annoying things Julien is. Also, I don't remember the character's names that much except Alex, so I needed IMDb for help. Thanks.
This was a great movie and I think you will enjoy watching it with your families, or like me, your friends. (Actually I was gonna see Bolt or Twilight but they both saw it already and this was last) but I am glad that I have saw this instead of Bolt and Twilight.
