    Dear Dreamworks;


    If you make another Madagascar movie, please remember that you're real heroes are the penguins. The insane, monomaniacal psychotic penguins. More please.


    The lemur can stay too.


    Sincerely,


    happymisanthrope

    We have to go see it as my grandson adored the first one. Also we all love to hear him when the Move It song comes on. We have it on all our computers and he will come to one of us and ask for the "mu mu song" and then he will just dance around. It is so adorable to watch.

    Not interested. Maybe it's because I've become jaded and bitter post-childhood, or maybe it's because outside of Pixar, kids' movies just aren't orginial--or even fun--anymore. (Ten bucks says there's a burping gag. The animals dance, sing a tired old pop song, and every parent in the audience slowly goes insane.)


    Is it just me, or is the Chicago Sun-Times review somewhat incoherent? Article writing=EPIC FAIL.

    I'd watch a movie solely based on those penguins. This one? Meh, maybe if I still had premium cable or if I had kids.

    Sadly, the only line I recall from the first one is this:


    "If you have any poo, fling it now!"

    (it was my nephew's favorite part, replayed over and over and over....)

    Shameful representation of the noble giraffe. We are not amused!

    Uh, maybe I am confusing it with another movie, but didn't they actually NOT make it to Africa in the first movie, but landed in Central Park or something and just THOUGHT they were in Africa? I don't know. I didn't watch this. Why am I commenting?

    Awww, that's too bad. While I'm not an 8 year old, I want to see it.
    I like cartoons so maybe I'll like it just fine.

    Madagascar 1 sucked balls. I was surprised they made a second one.
