Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa
Eric, my little nephew, got me hooked on Madagascar three years ago. I used to love watching him (two something at the time) imitating every animal in the movie every time he popped in the DVD. So when the sequel hits the theater, I have to take him and Samantha to see it. Unlike most of Pixar’s animated features, DreamWorks’ Madagascar 2 is strictly for the kids. Except for some quick laughs, I didn’t find anything inspiring, even the visuals. Maybe Eric would convince me when he has a chance to learn the characters. I should have waited until the DVD released then watch it with his live acting, but Eric and Samantha seemed to enjoy the film.
When my niece was 5, i took her and her older sister to see Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and she got frightened when a kid ate a berry and bloated and blown into a balloon…And we had to go out even that was barely the beginning..that was cute..
Since then i took them to see only animated movies. Funny how kids do not mind if Tom gets bashed by Jerry or even get shot at..or some times fall off a cliff..but as soon as it’s the real person acting they get scared even the smallest thing…
Kids are fun…when they r not yours..and you only have them to take care of sometimes..he he
