As opposed to what, a *chocolate* lion?

So I went and saw the movie Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, unfortunately the second didn't trump the first (which is why I'm so afraid that they already said yes to a "three" before this one even came out!). With fairly good music and some very strange previews (one about the movie two races of mythical creatures signing a treaty and then it doesn't work out and there's a pixie like tribe and another that looks like frog people, blah, weird it's called DELGO, take a look if you don't believe me) Anyways, back to Madagascar 2, I mean yes there were some funny moments, most of them either including the penguins, OR Sacha Baron Cohen who plays a hilarious monkey king...he does a really good job. I guess I can't expect much from the plot since it's a simple children's movie the facts are that most children's movies have stepped up their game and have made itself entertaining for not just the kids but the parents too. I don't feel as though Madagascar quite reached that level. It was alright, but again, the movie just seemed to be lacking something in my eyes. (Image owned by Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa)
