Take the flat tire that was Madagascar. Retread it with The Lion King storyline. Pump it up with air.
Now you have Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, an overinflated sequel to the one about the lion, the zebra, the giraffe and the hippo liberated from the Central Park Zoo and deposited (by penguin commandos) on the island nation off the east coast of Africa.
As in the first installment of the DreamWorks animation, M2 suggests that to flourish in the jungle it helps to have street smarts. Never mind that the film subtitled Escape 2 Africa doesn't technically leave the continent, although this time it moves from the world's fourth-largest isle to the mainland.
