Movie review - "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" (2008) ****

Joyous, fun sequel full of life and some very funny jokes - some of which are surprisingly adult. It's a good story - sequels are worth it when there's a decent reason for them to exist, which is the case here because it's about Alex being reunited with his parents.

There's decent subplots - Marty meeting fellow zebras, Gloria dating a hippo, Melman becoming a doctor. So much of this made me laugh out loud - jumping into a volcano, the penguins talking like they're Robert Stack in the 50s aviation film. I really enjoyed the tunes.  I've seen this movie a bunch of times and still enjoyed it.
