HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. – (January 7, 2009) Buckle up for a rockin’ ride with Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, and the gang in the “hilarious” adventure from DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. that’s “even better than the first!” (WWOR-TV) when MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA comes in for a landing on DVD and Blu-ray on FRIDAY, February 6, 2009. With twice the laughs, twice the fun and twice the Penguins, the Move It! Move It! Double DVD Pack and Blu-ray are sure to be the talk of the watering hole. Both versions include the funniest movie of the year and two all-new, never-before-seen animated adventures from Nickelodeon’s brand new series, The Penguins of Madagascar. The series stars four feathered family favorites and King Julian back at the New York zoo where it all started – on a mission… without permission. The Move It! Move It! Double DVD Pack follows on the heels of last November’s release of the successful Kung Fu Panda Pandemonium Pack and offers an exceptional entertainment value for the whole family with an anticipated retail price under $25.
Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder), Chris Rock (Bee Movie), David Schwimmer (“Friends”), Jada Pinkett Smith (The Women), Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat), Cedric the Entertainer (Charlotte’s Web) and Andy Richter (Semi-Pro) return in MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA, joined by Alec Baldwin (“30 Rock”) as “Makunga,” will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas as “Moto Moto,” Bernie Mac (Soul Men) as “Zuba” and Sherri Shepherd (“The View”) as Alex’s mom making their introduction to the watering hole as a brand-new cast of characters.
The four zany zoo denizens of the original blockbuster comedy prepare to head home to Manhattan in a rickety aircraft piloted by the ever-inventive penguin cadre. But when they crash land in the African savannah, it’s time for a crash course in survival. Now the four friends far from home must answer a question of the heart when Alex finds his long lost parents (Bernie Mac and Sherri Shepherd), Marty joins a herd of his wild brethren, Gloria finds romance with a hippo Casanova (will.i.am) who appreciates her curves and Melman has one last chance at his truest desire. With King Julien’s manic musical antics, the funniest pack of penguins ever and a pair of primates with opposable thumbs, MADAGASCAR: ESCAPE 2 AFRICA is “great family fun” (WABC-TV).

When I get home from work, I automatically take the kids over for a while, let the wife “walk”. She takes her computer out to the desk in the garage for a while, with no kids on her back…scores major points, always puts her in a better mood.
Have a real date night at least once per month!
Don’t treat your husband like a child!
me and my hisband bonded after we had kids by spending time with our kids we love that
and sometimes we would go out to eat
No matter how crazy life gets, slow down and hold your partner’s hand. Just holding hands can center your relationship and make you realize that your spouse is the most important person in your life.
The best advice I ever got is to be spontaneous…or at least try to. Thanks for the chance to win this DVD.
Keep having date nights with no children!!
Give her what she wants.
Communication is important.
The best advice I got was to find the time for each other even if you have to schedule it, like you would any other appointment or thing on your to do list.
Always make time for just the two of us. Date night is very important…adult time with no kids.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Once a month, my wife & I get our son’s fav babysitters and we get out of the house for a couple of hours. Grovery shop, dinner, whatever. We need that time just she & I, even if we wnd up talking about the kids, it’s nice to eat a meal while it’s still hot
Take an overnight trip together at least 3 times a year (even if the trip is in the town you live in.)
surprise hubby with a card in his luch pail or a little specially decorated cookie
Don’t yell at her!
always kiss each other goodnight
A happy you makes a happy marriage
Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are date nights!
The best advice was to make sure we go on a date at least once a week, even if it is a walk without the kids. You have to have alone time with your spouse!
Remember to keep laughing! You created the kids together and you are in this together. When you are up with a screaming baby until 2am just look at each other and laugh it makes the situation so much better!
make sure you have time alone as a couple
Date night. One night a week, get a babysitter and spend time alone together relaxing. We will celebrate 27 years soon and without that time as a “couple” we would have been completely out of touch with each other when the kids left home.
Take at least 30 minutes a day for just the two of you…no interruptions.
Pencil in time for sex on your schedule!
communicate,,,,,do things together.. take a vacation off somewhere at least once a year even for a few days
My father-in-law told me on my wedding day “Sex is even better after the kids are grown and out of the house”!
go sky diving, i’ve always heard that!
Date night! Every week, whether it’s convenient or not.
Just make sure you each share the responsibility of the household without expecting the other one to do it all.
To always find “alone” time for me and my husband. Even if it’s just for a little bit every day.
each other before the kids
Learn to have fun with the little things. A romantic dinner together at home can be just as special as going out.
I guess you just remember that this person isn’t only the mom/dad of your kids but also your spouse and you need to have soe kid free time every week!
Take walks together or go to a movie. If there are grandparents who would love to have the kids over for a weekend, make sure you go out and enjoy yourselves.
Spend time away from your kids, either with a date night or a mini vacation.
Always make time for each other.
Take time for yourself. Love each other passionately. Never let the kids sleep in your bed (you will never get them out) Communicate, have quiet time together,
be spontaneous dont let things get in a rut always try something new 🙂
date night!
The best advice I ever received was to always stand by one another. We’ve been married for almost 10 years and have had many events and trials that might have torn us apart. We stood together and worked as a team instead of one another and we’re still together to this day!
2 suggestions…
1 – Get rid of the kids! Hah! Seriously though, even just for an evening, it does wonders.
2 – No, seriously… get rid of the kids!
I never got any advice…my parents are divorced so something wasn’t working there. If I had to give advice after 12 years of marriage I would say to be sure you share the work load (kids, house, etc.) so that neither of you feel overwhelmed.
Have fun together. If your always stressing over everything, you end up fighting over stupid things.
Treat her like a lady
Make sure you have a date night, twice a month, or at the minimum once a month, it’s a good idea to keep that “togetherness” alive.
Make sure you have a date night.
appreciate and love each other through thick and thin:)
Everyday (if you can), Hold her, let her know that you love her and that everything will be oaky.
It is tough…but we kept our season theatre guild tickets and call them our “guaranteed” date night!
Make time for sex everyday!!

He makes sure to do a little something above and beyond what I ask!
My wife likes when I plan a meal, shop, and then prepare it. It’s not gourmet, but it shows her that I appreciate all she does for the family.
Whatever you do, don’t take your wife for granted, let her know that you appreciate everything that she does.
My best tip is to not let the stress of the kids come between the two of you.
Take trips alone with just the parents! Time alone is crucial.
We never really got advice from anyone; imagine that! Every night, when we go to bed, we make sure to hold each other; it gives us a wonderful feeling of being close. And, you can never get enough kisses. Thank you.

My Mom told me to take thirty minutes EVERY DAY to talk to each other. It happens after the kids go to bed but we look forward to it every night. Sometimes we laugh so hard we wake the kids up! Oops.
try to spend time alone with your mate
My best friend told me to make my marriage relationship more important than the one with the kids. I don’t know if I listened as I was closer to my kids. It worked out anyway
I’m not married nor do I have kids but my parents have a great marriage. My mom works in another state and only sees my dad once a month but they have been married for 25 years (26 in June). My dad calls my mom at 7pm every night and they talk for at least 2 hours. That’s the secret to a great marriage – communication.
Make sure that you have couples only time where anything about children is not mentioned.

Thanks for the giveaway!
Find a good baby sitter
Always make your hubby Number ONE. The kids will grow up and leave.
Always make time for just the two of you to get away for an overnight rejuvenation.
Remember that if children just see the serious side of adulthood, why would they want to growup.
We all know it is not always easy to find a babysitter and frankly I am not leaving my children with a teenager I do not know…the world is not what it was when I was young. So make the time for a kiss, a hug, a note. Let each other know that you are still their world. Keep a schedule for the kids bedtimes because it is that time that you two get to reconnect and share your days, to talk, to play, to love. My wife will come up to me and just say “Wow, you rock my world babe”, and it makes me laugh, laughter is what keeps us going.
Date night. You HAVE to take time, even an hour to just be together.
a good win
As my dad told me “Just remember who’s boss and always pay attention to her.”

Remember to make quality time for just the two of you without child(ren) or other family members.
