Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Directed by Tom McGrath, Eric Darnell
Alex, Marty, and other zoo animals find a way to escape from Madagascar when the penguins reassemble a wrecked airplane. The precariously repaired craft stays airborne just long enough to make it to the African continent. There the New Yorkers encounter members of their own species for the first time. Africa proves to be a wild place, but Alex and company wonder if it is better than their Central Park home. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →There is literally no news story that I would not believe about RFK Jr. "RFK Jr. pushed a woman out of a hot air balloon." Sounds plausible. "RFK Jr. traveled to Madagascar searching for the penguins from the Dreamworks movie." Could see it. "RFK Jr. attacked a horse with a mallet." Of course.
neutral · AI labelView post →Twenty years ago today, Madagascar was released. One of the most playful and fun films released by DreamWorks, this film has plenty of laughs thanks to its fun cast of characters as well as its playful cartoony animation that ended up being a launchpad for other CG franchises.

I’m also showrunner/executive producer of MEGAMIND VS. THE DOOM SYNDICATE & MEGAMIND RULES! I like geek stuff, dogs, and martial arts. #animation #screenwriting

(That almost all my other models are more or less white has nothing to do with my preferences, but with who gets in touch with me)

neutral · AI labelView post →i think it's funny how much the 2nd Madagascar Movie reads as a movie about a Father having to accept his long lost son is also gay. I'm not gonna remotely look you in the eyes and tell you this was intentional, it's not, but it's funny how easily read it is like that

positive · AI labelView post →Quick and dirty and technically not very rigorous research done, so… Hey, DreamWorks? How the hell did you make a movie named Madagascar, about Madagascar, featuring almost 870 INDIVIDUAL NAMES in the credits, NONE OF WHICH SEEM TO BE FROM MADAGASCAR?
