Madagascar Reviews: Mad, Mad World of Zoo Animals 2009-12-20 - 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.
Great movie :) 2009-11-08 - I bought this movie based on a friend's recommendation and even though I don't have little kids, I enjoyed it so much that I bought the second movie where they return to Africa. The smattering of Life's Lessons throughout the movie only add to its appeal.
