Film Review: Merry Madagascar


Got up this morning and put on Merry Madagascar.
Twas very very very enjoyable and very short too - its perfect for little ones who enjoyed the first two installments and the tv show so much. Its also pretty perfect for big ones who still are little ones at heart too.
They have nearly all the main stars back which is quite impressive and i love the absurdity of it all - especially that its now in a christmas-related way.
The penguins kick so much ass its AMAZING!!!!! But alas there is no sight of the monkeys in this which makes me sad.
Also the only star not to return was Sacha Baron-Cohen - which was a bit disappointing - altho Danny Jacobs does a freakin excellent job of recreating the craziness of King Julien as anyone who watches The Penguins Of Madagascar will already know.

Overall i got a bit caught up in it all (early morning + late night + stober hangover = potential emotional damage) but more than anything it was the JOY of Christmas that got me right there in the soft spot. I LOVE CHRISTMAS and anything related - including Jingle All The Way- so this worked perfectly fine for me.
Get the Bobby Helms & Dino records out - cos christmas time is a coming!
Fantastic feel-good festive fun! 4 / 5
