Madagascar 2

"I like to move it, move it!"

Madagascar 2 was everything I expected it to be. I didn’t see the first one, went in with the simple expectation to be entertained for an hour and thirty minutes, and I was. The movie is light, funny and cute, everything you can expect from an animated animal movie. It is not only for children, but very family oriented. Some jokes were hilarious, others were predictable, but overall, it worked just fine. A movie to go see with a friend and have a good laugh. To have seen the first one is not necessary, the storyline works perfectly on its own. The characters are interesting and some concepts explored are very well chosen; like the idea of being unique, while maintaining a part of a group. Beware; the baby lion with the blue eyes will break your heart…
