Fairly decent sequel to the animated hit

Rating: 6/10 (9 December 2008)

MADAGASCAR : ESCAPE 2 Africa (2008) ** (VOICES OF: Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett-Smith, David Schwimmer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric The Entertainer, Andy Richter, Bernie Mac, Alec Baldwin, Sherri Shepherd, Will i Am, Tom McGrath) Fairly decent sequel to the animated hit with the menagerie of friends winding up on the African veldt and Alex The Lion (Stiller) re-uniting with his family (Mac in sadly one of his final performances, and Shepherd).
A bit looser and some much needed comic relief in the Phil Hartman-like penguin leader (McGrath) stealing the show once again. (Directors: Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath)
