...fit of boredom, what with the rain and everything, I decided to escape the dreary estate I live on and transport myself to another realm. Seeing as I do not own a TARDIS I settled for 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. Maybe not as interesting as seeing the crab nebula or travelling 'round in a box with a beautiful assistant but we can't have everything can we? I am sure by now that everyone out there already knows ...

Disadvantages: Moments where they copy the lion king

...I had'nt seen the first Madagascar film and thought I might find the second one confusing. But the film is clever yet straightforward so it doesn't matter if you haven't seen Mad1. Madagascar is a great family film, my younger brother and sister loved it, and even though I'm a lot older than them I really enoyed it as well.
