Sequel Achieves Small Laughs, But Remains Sub-Par

The 4 wild kings of the 'concrete jungle' pick up where they left off in Madagascar. They leave for New York New York, and end up crash landing in what seems to be Africa, and it helps them connect back to old roots.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa achieves nothing new or special, just hangs even with the original cartoon, which I didn't really seem to enjoy. It gains no advantage over it's predesessor, and definetly does not meet my standards and requirements, seeing as Pixar can do a much finer job. It seems that Dreamworks keeps throwing slabs of borderline animation projects into the screening rooms, and as more and more pile in, I think it's time to hang up the phone on Madagascar, if not most of Dreamworks cartoons.
Madagascar can be a bit funny, but for the wrong reasons. Poor Writing, and lack of Plot development and control send this one spiraling to the ground in confusion, but in the end, this one may dissapoint. The laughs are good while they last, but 'I Like To Move It' won't cut it for the kiddies today.
FINAL SCORE :::: 57% ::::
