	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This is a brighter, more engaging film than the original "Madagascar. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)."
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Good enough in patches to make its distracting star turns, storybook clichés and stereotypes harder to take than they would be in a less enjoyable movie."
		Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"A nice surprise, surpassing the quality of the first film"
		Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"The sequel is good-natured, high-spirited and perfectly enjoyable if you take it for what it is"
		Todd McCarthy Variety	"A notable improvement on its predecessor in every department (...) Lively and quite funny without being obnoxious"
