Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa | Review
I haven’t seen the first Madagascar movie in a long time, so after seeing the sequel, it almost feels the same. In the sequel, the animals are now stuck in Africa, and the plot is similar to the first movie. The animals must learn to survive in an unknown land, and they each “chill” with their individual species. This movie feels just as funny as the first movie, but the animation in the first movie seems to be better. Also, I don’t really understand the title. “Escape 2 Africa” . . . the animals accidentally crash landed to Africa, so it shouldn’t called “Escape 2 Africa.” One part of the movie seemed too similar to The Lion King, such as the one “bad guy” lion who just happens to be a darker lion than all the others. The story also seems to focus only on Alex the Lion. The other characters, especially Marty the Zebra, have less of a role this time.Although the two movies feel about the same, I’m slightly leaning towards the first movie as the better one, just because the main characters seem to have equal importance.
