We went to see Madagsacar 2 – Escape to Africa over the weekend. It’s an absolute blast. None of us had seen the first Madagascar so hadn’t a clue what to expect but it was great, oh yes and ‘the Kid’ (aged 6) loved it too! It’s got loads of laughs, fantastic graphics and little in jokes about ‘love and relationships’ for Mums and Dads plus a rocking soundtrack.

The film is about the continuing adventures of Alex the Lion, Gloria the Hippo, Marty the Zebra and Melman the Giraffe. It stars the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer and Andy Richter. Also providing voices are Alec Baldwin, will.i.am, Bernie Mac and Sherri Shepherd.

Trust us find a cinema with a big screen and go wild at the pick and mix. It beats watching Bratz reruns on the box whilst staring at the contents of the toybox littered across the lounge!
