| Editorial Reviews:
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

Madagascar March 13, 2010
Mahesh Shimpi (NJ)
My 3 years old daughter loves it....specially from the part when the animals float away to madagascar....before that the animation is too verbal....hard for kids to understand....overall a very good presentation......"Move it move it move it" is a total fun song!!!

I never received this item, but of course, they sure were quick to take the money from my account! Awful seller, look elsewhere.
Mad, Mad World of Zoo Animals December 20, 2009
Loyd E. Eskildson (Phoenix, AZ.)
This movie on spoiled zoo animals was made in 2005. It is a film by Dreamworks and beautifully computer-animated.
The story starts at New York's Central Park Zoo. Alex the lion (Ben Stiller), Marty a zebra (Chris Rock), a hypochondriac giraffe (David Schwimmer, and a lady hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith) are best firends and stars of the show. The Zebra has wanderlust as he turns 10 and wants freedom to return to the wild. He escapes and the other three break free to look for him and all reunite at Central Station in New York. The public and police are terrified and the animals find themselves on a ship headed for Africa. When the penquins turn pirate and hijack the ship, they are washed ashore in Madagascar. The foursome soon find out that freedom is not all it is cracked up to be.
I laughed at the jokes and personalities of the zany, good hearted animals. This was just fun to watch.
