Madagascar 2 Date

I enjoyed my Madagascar date with my fave little gal, CZ. Prior to the movie, We had dinner with PY at White Dog Cafe. Let's see, we ordered 2 triple mushroom soup, a clam chowder, a button mushroom side dish, a fish & chips and a mango chicken. They were all yummy. CZ thought the fish tasted a little dory... She's not a dory fan. She was also a little disappointed with the side dish she chose because it was not the button mushroom she likes. However, her choice was great for the 2 adults. We thought the mushrooms were delicious.





Dessert after the meal was a scoop of Ben & Jerry's chocolate chip ice cream for CZ.



I thought Madagascar sequel was much better than its prequel. It explained how Alex got into the zoo.



CZ got upset with some of the scenes because in one, baby Alex got separated from his family. Naturally, a baby cub lost, alone & scared... Next, the reunion scene many years later was very touching - I had tears myself. The scene where Alex got banished from the pride was also heart wrenching. The part where Melman was nearly killed was where CZ could no longer contain her emotions. The moment the rock gave way - she bursted into tears out of fright (that Melman will die) & sadness. I wasn't at all freaked out (her parents were worried I'll be). I thought it was good for her to cry instead of trying to withhold the sadness. All I could do was to comfort her and assured her that Melman will come to no harm because Gloria will save him. Her capacity for empathy is amazing considering her age (she's six). I'm very certain she will grow up to be a girl with an enormous heart. :)
