wealth does not return to his hometown. Night walks like a beautiful dress; who knows.
An accident made all the beautiful fairy tales; dear, let's look forward to those good times that create glorious times. ——Vulcan Ji. Inscription.

DreamWorks Animation undoubtedly has a strong dream-making ability. "Shrek", "Kung Fu Panda" and "Madagascar" have all been built into a series of animation films that are popular all over the world; as an animation film company, DreamWorks may There is no veteran powerhouse Walt Disney Animation has a long history, but it is not inferior.
With the desire to relive old dreams and a good impression of the future of "Madagascar", this sequel, which retains almost all the creative team of the previous work, is undoubtedly delicious. The scene of the story has moved from the Central Animal Park in New York, USA to Madagascar, and now it has come to the vast expanse of Africa. Will a wider stage allow the friends we know to better show their excellence.

A lion who can only dance, Alex, a giraffe Melman who is infatuated but ashamed to confess, Gloria, a fat hippopotamus with beautiful romantic sentiments, and a sentimental but self-righteous Zebra Marty (Marty), of course we can't expect them to create a magnificent epic for us, but the brisk journey full of laughter and the return to the homeland that gave birth to them is still humorous.
They once had a dream of returning to their homeland in Central Park. When one day they really stood on this land where they were born and nurtured, what they saw was the piece of paradise in their dreams. Marty said-their blood is flowing with this land to give them a unique perception, so he knows that they have returned to their hometown. It's just that the glory of the city and the cheers of the crowd that they once had brought them has been completely dissipated; in this land, everything, they must start again.

King of New York-but no one knows that Ellis is the only lion in the world who can dance; Marty once thought he was unique and powerful, but he didn't know everything he could do, and all zebras could do it too. , Because they are all zebras; Gloria finally found the mountains and rivers she had dreamed of, but whether the MotoMoto in front of her was really the kind of love she longed for; Melman carried other zebras to give him It’s just that he doesn’t know that the brown spots on his body are actually inherited from his parents.
All of them appeared gorgeously in this mixed misunderstanding. Elis was finally defeated by Iron Claw, and Marty returned to her friend with disappointment. Gloria began a love ignorant of the unknown, while Melman began to desperately wait for death. "Historical Records • The Biography of Xiang Yu" says: riches and nobles do not return to their hometown; like a beautiful night walk, who knows. It's just that they have gone through all the hardships and returned to their hometown. What awaits them is not applause and flowers, but more loss and misery.

This is indeed an animated film suitable for the whole family to watch together; it takes care of the audience of the film in every aspect, and it contains everything that most people are willing to accept-young men can watch in Alex's Glory can be seen in the body; young girls can see the sincere but silent love in Gloria and Melman; the old people can see the passing time and parents in the old lion Zuba (Zuba) couple The licking of the calf is very affectionate; not to mention the children, they can spend up to an hour and a half of happy time with laughter.
The film’s narrative style is relaxed and humorous, the scenery is beautiful, and the story is optimistic and healthy; let us take down all the heavy thoughts and tired bodies, and follow our lovely but a little clumsy friends to experience a trip to Africa without burden. .

Of course, if we have to find a realistic meaning in this film, we may be able to see the self-rescue actions of those passengers whose cars have been stolen on the African continent. An old lady who was even crazier than the penguins acted as the leader, set up camp in the jungle, built a dam on the river to store water, and stood at the top of the food chain and started the hunting life of flying sand and chasing meat.
At the same time, there was an uproar in the wild animal sanctuary where the original life was beautiful. The ponds that never dried up completely dried up, and all creatures lacking water sources were facing desperation. The impact of human activities on the environment may be the reflection that this movie will bring to us.

But this is an animated film after all, and it does not feature humans as the protagonist; therefore, the ending of the film is only to give the animals a perfection in the end. It can be said that this is ironic in itself. When we built the reinforced concrete forest, we expelled the wild animals that shared the land and resources with us to the last paradise; and when we went to that place, we still could only dominate for survival. Land invaded everything.
The completeness of the animals and the neglected people, a negative condemnation and positive humanitarianism reflected in this movie. To give those happy and peaceful creatures a quiet and beautiful home, we may be willing to-be the neglected group. Negatively condemn those mistakes that have been committed, and actively make up for our once barbaric ignorance.

The wild dream of DreamWorks, starting from Madagascar to the African continent, a plane crash brought a beautiful fairy tale of returning to the homeland. When Alis created an era of his own, when Marty knew that he was not a maverick, when Melman finally confessed his heart on the day of despair, when Gloria finally found the share of her desire. The emotions that have been ignored by myself for a long time; we have taken off all the exhaustion and all-day tired running, we have seen a dream, a dream that does not belong to returning home.
At the next stop, we don't know where they will go; at this stop, we have an African dream with them. After watching this movie, let us look forward to another dream in 2011.
