Synopsis
It's All Some Type Of Whacked Out Conspiracy.
Zoo animals leave the comforts of man-made habitats for exotic adventure in this animated family film. After escaping from the zoo, four friends -- a lion, a hippo, a zebra and a giraffe -- are sent back to Africa. When their ship capsizes, stranding them on Madagascar, an island populated by crazy critters, the pals must adapt to jungle life and their new roles as wild animals.

Solid animated fun. The characters are all likable and the colors are vibrant. While it does become generic often and the jokes were a little too juvenile for my taste, I still enjoy this film for what it is.

Inoffensive and utterly forgettable. Notable for the fact that all main characters on the poster are making Dreamworks Face.

Nice animated family feature with a great voice cast, Madagascar is a fun harmless comedy at under 90 mins its a perfect piece of keep the kids quiet (most of the time) entertainment!

Damn you, Shrek. Before you there was only Pixar and pretenders without a road map, but you made it a reasonable strategy to craft CGI-animated films out of thin stories and a stream of gags, gags and more gags. Here the formula is applied to the story of four New York zoo animals (voices including Ben Stiller and Chris Rock) who find themselves shipped back into the wild. A new technological wrinkle in character animation means there’s Tex Avery slapstick aplenty, but there’s no correspondence between the brain power that went into stretching the characters physically and that which went into stretching them emotionally. The narrative hook never really works, leaving what enjoyment there is to come from goofy supporting characters—like Sacha Baron “Ali G” Cohen as a demented lemur king—or those non-stop gags. And we have you to thank for it, you Scottish-accented ogre.

Spoiled by their upbringing with no idea what wild life is really like, four animals from New York Central Zoo escape, unwittingly assisted by four absconding penguins, and find themselves in Madagascar, among a bunch of merry lemurs.

I don't see the appeal of this. A lot of kids animated films are funny and I usually like the style of the animation. But Madagascar is not one of them.

This is a film from my childhood, and I have to say, it works better for young children, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. It is a bit plot light, but I was able to give it a pass. But I had one major beef with this movie, and it is that it portrayed animals as these amazing architects. For example, Dreamworks thinks that a lion can build a 50 foot tall Statue of Liberty. Out of wood. By himself. And also, a zebra can't build a pretty big entertainment space with the materials found on that part of Madagascar. But, if Dreamworks needs to make that happen, they can provide that zebra with all of the nails, chains, and zebra print to make it happen. But other than that major beef, I enjoyed myself for a bit. 3/5
