We are treated again with the funniest animals around. Catch Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe in another hilarious adventure in Africa.
This film explores deeper into the theme of identity and boundaries. Melman is attracted to Gloria and Marty has no difficulty fitting in his kinds but the fact that they are all similiar (bloody sound the same!) takes a toll on the Zebra. Meanwhile, the central plot is when Alex returns to his pride. Will the King of New York be able to follow his father's footsteps?
The film brings back the same cast from the original with the addition of some big names like Alec Baldwin, the late Bernie Mac and Will.I.Am. Bernie Mac's character Zuba was very realistic when it comes to being the Alpha male and is always interrupted by his wife. Will.I.Am's character MotoMoto as well caught some fire (not literally!). But I have to say the scene stealer is got to be the Penguins. Their act is almost satirical and very impressive. I agree with everyone that they deserve a spin-off.
Overall, the whole film is the funniest I've seen lately. It is definitely not inferior to the first film, instead it was balanced and carried forward the same charm and comedy that everyone loves.
