I absolutely love toons - they're hippy, upbeat and usually carry very attractive, magnetic messages even kids can remember - about higher values like love, respect, power and karma.Madagascar 2 is all of that - you come away feeling your time was well-spent with a spiritual guru who's got the fundamentals of animal rights right. The first Madagascar was somehow a little disappointing - a lot like Tom & Jerry, with one animal or human bashing another and you don't come out feeling very good - I always thought it was because Pixar animation was in the grip of cynical IT kids. lol
A whole generation later, they've come back to the values we used to love in Disney's fairytale productions.
A kidnapped lion from New York returns to Africa and then goes on to prove that leadership is about caring, not force; and his dad learns to respect him for being a dancer, not a fighter.
Very enjoyable - even if you're all grown up.
