Fall movies -- who needs 'em? After this summer's mega-packed roster of hearty megaplex fare, the idea of fall flicks seems like an afterthought. But we're always happy to be proven wrong, and this season's movie line-up promises to do just that, thanks to a slate packed with fare perfect for tots, teens, and parents. We'll be updating this guide as we get more information on this season's releases. Also, don't forget to check out the Mom and Pop Culture blog for all the latest news on family movies, plus TV, music, and book scoop, too.

#7 of 10 -- November 7: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Not Yet Rated.
Why We Can't Wait: You know those sequels where the cast you knew and loved in the first film doesn't reunite for the second outing? Well, not so with this follow-up to the jungle tale Madagascar: Ben Stiller's back as Alex, Jada Pinkett-Smith as Gloria, David Schwimmer as Melman and Chris Rock as the crack-a-lackin' Marty. After a glimpse of some footage at the Dreamworks lot, we can say (without giving anything away), that audiences will be welcomed to the jungle with a ton more laughs, plus some stellar new characters voiced by talent like the late Bernie Mac, Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and Alec Baldwin.
