Move it! for Madagascar the #1 Family Comedy of the Year from the studio that brought you Shrek and Shark Tale. When four pampered animals from New York s Central Park Zoo accidentally find themselves shipwrecked on the exotic island of Madagascar they discover it really IS a jungle out there! Ben Stiller Chris Rock David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith headline an all-star cast of hilarious animals including a quartet of mischievous penguins and legions of lemurs led by the outrageous King Julien. Madagascar is a roaring good family film that you ll go wild for again and again!System Requirements:Running Time 86 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 678149456622 Manufacturer No: 94566 Amazon.com: The penguins steal the show. In the sprightly Madagascar, a mid-life crisis inspires Marty the Zebra (voiced by Chris Rock) to escape from his lifelong home, a New York zoo. His equally pampered friends--Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer)--then escape to bring him back. Unfortunately, their attempt at damage control persuades zoo officials that the animals are unhappy, so all four get shipped to an animal preserve in Kenya...only a squad of maniacal penguins change the destination to Antarctica. The quartet end up on an island where, in addition to meeting some hedonistic lemurs, they learn about the food chain--and that Alex is a different link on the chain from the other three. Madagascar doesn't achieve the snappy perfection of a Pixar movie, but it tops most other computer-animated efforts; the collision of friendship and predator instincts makes for an unusually gripping conflict. The vocal performances of the central characters is serviceable, but Sacha Baron Cohen (Da Ali G Show) provides topnotch lunacy as the lemur king, and the penguins--voiced mostly by the animators themselves--are the best thing in the movie. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I'm crazy about this movieI saw the trailers for Madagascar II, started singing "I like to move it, move it" all over the place and knew I had to rent the original. I mostly watched it to see the song acted out and wasn't expecting much. I made my sister watch it with me, my husband being out of town. From the beginning, it seemed pretty clever and involving, but when they got to the island, it really picked up! King Julian is hilarious! My sister and I were laughing like loons. When the movie was over, ... Read More Rating: - slightly entertaining animal cartoonI must admit to not being a fan of the Dreamworks animations. They don't look particularly inventive, the voice talent is often at best distracting, or at worst, poor, and the stories are very sparse. Madagascar really is no exception to the rule. We first meet the heroes of the film - the animals - at the New York Zoo. Marty (voiced by Chris Rock) is a zebra bored with captivity and longing for the freedom of the wild. Alex (voiced by Ben Stiller) is a vain yet cowardly lion, happy to pose for the ... Read More Rating: - Not just for kidsThis movie is not just for kids. It is an all out family movie for ALL ages. I highly recommend it for any parents, grandparents to buy and watch this movie. Rating: - A hit....My little guy loves animals and this movie was a hit. Someone recommended it to me and I am so glad I purchased it. My kids (2 & 3.5 years old) and husband love it, can't wait for Part 2 to come out in theaters! Rating: - great movie!This movie is a really good one. I would rate it as one of my favorites. The plot of this movie & its characters is unique. It is funny & doesn't get dull. |
