I Like To Move It Move It ...

Watched Madagascar 2 with Nel this afternoon at The Cathay. I totally enjoyed the full 90 minutes spent in the theatre. The show was hilariously funny. I simply love the Penguins especially, they were so evil yet cute. Not forgetting the little baby lemur who was chased by a shark all the way from Madagascar to Central Africa.

The show started with the penguins, the 4 main characters, the chimps and the 3 lemurs taking a plane off the island of Madagascar, only to realize that fuel is not enough to sustain them through to New York. The 4 penguins who were in controlled had no choice but to force a sudden landing by a giant parachute, only to land in central Africa, where Alex the lion was borned. While the penguins ,inorder to continue their mission, worked on repairing their wrecked plane by stealing the tourists' jeeps, the 4 main characters stumbled upon Alex's homeland where he reconciled with his parents. The 4 characters started enjoying their life in the wild and fusing into their own kind. Meanwhile, the chimps brought his own coloney of chimps to aid the penguins in repairing the plane, only later they started fighting over labour union rights. That was one of my favourite part when the chimps threatened the penguins with scandalous photos of one of them with a doll only to earn maternity rights for the other chimps in labour.

While the New York tourists were strained in the wild (as their jeeps were stolen by the penguins), the started building a dam to survive, which restricted water supply to the animals in the protected zone. Alex the lion solved the water issue for the animals by breaking the dam (after a though fight with his old enermy - the gusty old granny, who was the leader of the strained survivors) and earned the respect of the rest of the animals. Meanwhile, a live sacrifies taking place on the volcano by the Gifraffe, was interrupted as he was saved by his crush, Gloria the hippo. As the shark chased the baby lemur all the way from the coast to the volcano, the 3 lemurs reconciled with the shark falling into the volcano crate.

The show ended with the leader of the 4 penguins marrying the wooden doll he loved and the other animals live happily ever after in the wild plains of central africa. As i mentioned earlier, the show contained alot of crude humour that i enjoyed. It was really worth watching if you want some time to laugh off your ass without thinking too much.
