Nickelodeon’s 22nd annual Kids’ Choice Awards was on last night, and host Dwayne Johnson made quite the entrance, sailing in on a zip line and landing smack dab center stage, a.k.a. the Slime Pyramid. Whoever thought up the whole slime theme for these awards knew what they were doing!
A few highlights:
Favorite TV Show: Nick’s "iCarly," starring Miranda Cosgrove.
Favorite Animated Voice: Jack Black, for voicing the title role in Dreamworks’ "Kung Fu Panda." He arrived onstage in a motorcycle sidecar, saying "Skadoosh! I am touched, I am moved, I am pumped, and I am jazzed. I promise you will try my hardest to make ‘Kung Fu Panda 2′ even more awesome than that first one."
Favorite Movie Actor: Will Smith
Favorite Actress: Vanessa Hudgens, who thanked her little sister Stella "for asking all her friends at school to vote."

"Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" - Review
November 10, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
| Movie: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa * Official Site | In Theaters: Nov. 7, 2008 |
| Runtime: 89 minutes | Directed by: Eric Darnell |
| MPAA Rating: PG for some mild crude humor |  Gecko Rating: |
“Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” is Too.Much.Fun! I love that they didn’t make us wait for the “Move it, Move It” song, and jumped right into it at the beginning. My kids and I loved everything about it from beginning to end. We all agreed that it’s even better than the first movie. And a third movie is on the way for 2011, so we’ve got that to look forward to.
All the originals are back — Alex the lion (voiced by Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the giraffe (David Schwimmer), and Gloria the hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith). It begins on the distant shores of Madagascar, where we last left our fun-loving group. They’ve finally figured out a way to get back to New York City and their beloved Central Park Zoo. The resourceful penguins have repaired a dilapidated WWII plane and turned it into Air Penguin.
