Jun 4 2008'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa' Poster Celebrates Reel 2 Real

Didn't the first one end with them in Africa? The first time I read the title I read Escape from Africa, which sounds more exciting and like Pliskin the eye-patched spider monkey should be involved.

So . . . what . . . this movie is about them going from Madagascar to Mozambique? . . . sweet?

Not to be a douche or anything. But the first one was like the worst childrens movie ever made. Wait wait, I forgot about Rock-A-Doodle. Okay the second worst children's movie ever made.

I guess it made some serious money. Plus I suppose they dont have to spend all that time and cash in creating characters they already have on their computers. I bet that helps, a lot.

Zee,

I think all of Dreamworks comp animated movies are crap.

Being a relatively new parent, the first movie I took my kid to was Fox's Robots. That was OK. Ice Age 2 is OK as well and works better on repeat viewings.
Horton hear a who is better for the Fox camp and definitely better than anything DW puts out.

That being said, Shek 1,2 - OK by me but my kids don't care too much for the ogre.
Madagascar, Over the Hedge, Sharks Tale, what kind of crap was that.
Seriously, Sharks Tale is worse than that Korean movie that came out to DVD, The Reef.
Bee movie?? Shrek 3?? More crap.
Sorry but this new Kung Fu Panda looks like more crap. It appears to be charming and cute but DW has a crappy track record so I'm not buying it.

I'll take my kid to see Speed Racer (which he loved) 10 more times before I have to sit through a DW animated feature.

I do not like to "move it, move it" and I don't want to "move it" to the theatre to pay for this one. It was bad enough my friend with the mind of a 3 year old dragged me to see the first one and I almost gouged my eyes, ears, heart and brain out with my Slushy straw...now they're at it again! Those crazy animals!

What's next from Dreamworks? A movie about a robot named Willroy that is left behind and has to clean up the mess of the humans, but instead he decides to throw a gigantic CAR WASH! YEAH!

(By 'Yeah' I mean "Oh shit...why? why? why?)

#3: Seriously?! you'd rather take your kids to see Speed Racer over and over? wow! i was excited to see the movie because I grew up watching the cartoon, but I'm an adult now and can admit that the new movie sucked. I felt bad for forcing a friend of mine to go see it with me. So, you would rather take your kids to see a bad movie with LCD inspired graphics, people dying and trying to kill each other, rather than let them watch an animated movie, like OVER THE HEDGE, that is funny, entertaining, and teaches value? wow, you're ridiculous. let's compare children and see who has the smartest, well rounded spawn. My 4 year old son loves the DW and Pixar animated movies, and learns from them as well. It's parents like you that make me mad, dragging their small kids into Resident Evil 3 and any Wayans Bros movie.

Escape 2 Africa? But Madagascar IS part of Africa!

Stupid.

#5: I hated Speed Racer as a kid, loved the movie. A GREAT family film that shows strong bonds and fun.
The version of Speed Racer I saw, no one died. One guy got his finger bit off and that was about it.
The version of Finding Nemo I saw, the mother dies in the first 10 minutes and various dangers exist trying to eat our protagonists throughout the movie.
The version of Incredibles I saw (didn't take my kid to that one) had plenty of nameless, faceless security personnel die, and get blown up with said security personnel shoot an armed weapon as a child. Loved the movie, appropriate for the PG-13

I love Pixar films. Ratatouille was great, a little too cerebral for kids but great nonetheless, far better than Shrek 3 AND Bee movie put together.

The version of Over the Hedge I saw taught how to use people to your benefit. Not a quality I'd like to share with young kids. It does end up with a sense of 'family' but the damage is already done. My kids don't care for the movie anyway.

I don't know where you think I drag my kids to see Resident Evil or Wayans Brothers films, I can't stand either. The only film I dragged my kid to was an IMAX 3D film (the rest he wanted to see) and the giant Jellyfish scared the crap out of him so we left.

For what it's worth, my 6 year old watches Super Sentai and can understand most of the Japanese without having me translate for him.

Morons - Madagascar was very good. I know it's hip and cool to dump on it, so sue me for not being as with it as you.

Horton was beautifully animated but I couldn't wait for it to end. It was about 75 minutes long and felt like 3 hours.

The Incredibles and Ratatouille were great movies but not for kids. Too long and mine have never asked to see them again. Even Cars was too long for kids.

I'm not crazy about sequels in general, Toy Story 2 being the exception.
Ice Age - very good, Ice Age 2: boring (with an extra penalty for having Jay Leno)
Shrek 1 - very good, Shrek 2/3: boring

I fail to see how dumping on madagascar could be considered "hip" or "cool" - if someone dosn't enjoy the movie, or find it funny, or even crack a smile except when the ending credits start rolling to signal the end of 86mins of poorly timed comedy then I would consider any resulting dumping to be "astute" and "sagacious".

I'm gonna love this movie
yup
