Now, sequels are tricky beasts. There has to be a real legitimate reason for a #2 (not to mention a #3 or, heaven forbid, a #4) to exist. We all know there are too many films greenlit just because studios are looking to quickly cash in on a good thing. Far too often it's all about the money, with the story, production design, direction and casting barely given any consideration. And that doesn't just apply to live-action films... But Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa's set-up is funny, the animation is gorgeous, and the trailer gives me hope that it'll live up to its predecessor.
The Story
The penguins repair a plane and Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, King Julien, and his right-hand man Maurice hop onboard. But those penguin dudes aren't highly skilled airplane mechanics, and so the group finds themselves crash landing in the heart of Africa.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa hopes audiences will go wild on November 7, 2008.
