On November 7 DreamWorks Animation returns with Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. The cast returns with Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer along with guest stars Alec Baldwin and the late Bernie Mac but one comparison to the poster from the first movie is that there is no mention of any of the movie stars names. The trailers due not mention the names either but many well recognize the voices. The poster is definitely a loud one with bright colors and the whole animated cast in the center. The font of the title has received a makeover which clearly stands out. The poster and the trailer each compliment themselves as both relaying the style, the plot and the overall demographic for this movie.

Those who wish to visit the official site http://www.madagascarmovie.com/ will find characters bios, activities, games along with the trailers. There also downloads for wallpapers and email signature.

We are sad to say though, as promising as Madagascar 2 looks, are search for reviews and merchandise is rare and limited. We read that old merchandise is selling for anticipation of the upcoming film but it is weird though that the film is coming out in two weeks and there is not as much attention being payed to it right now. We're guessing as soon as it comes out that there will be some support along with the video game that is coming out along side it.

We could not find any pirated versions on any of the bit torrent sites that we know. I guess no one cares to rip off this movie as well. From what we researched is that in the upcoming weeks there is a movie known as Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa and we didn't even know it is coming out but we think that just like it's predecessor that it well do well when it does come out.
