Recipe for a Dreamworks movie: 1. Take CGI of various talking animals 2. Throw in a bunch of celebrities 3. Mix in some bad pop culture references 4. And be sure to say it's from the makers of "Shrek" Vooila!

A typically exuberant CGI production with another batch of likeable characters and buoyant animation. However Madagascar falls down under the combined weight of missed plot opportunities, dull moments and yet more questionable pop references. While the plotline is for the mostpart interesting and the celebrity voices work reasonably well, the cast is overshadowed by the penguins and the monkeys, the latter of which we see not nearly enough of. Enjoyable, but there's better to be had elsewhere.

If my animals started talking with the voices of Ben Stiller and David Schwimmer, I would build a machine to speed up global warming and wipe us all out. Dreamworks Animation is useless to me, unless I have an urge for shitty films.

Not as charming or witty as many of the Disney/Pixar ventures, but still quite fun with an interesting premise and good cast of characters. The lemurs dancing to "I Like to Move It (Move It!)" is probably my favorite scene.

It was more or less what I expected. It relies far too much on slapstick and especially pop culture references to make its comedy. The story's just too basic too. The characters weren't particularly likable or three-dimensional. Jada Pinkett Smith's character was simply an African-American woman - that's all she was. The voice-work was fine, with Sacha Baron Cohen being the standout. A very average and disposable animated film, but I've seen worse.

The four quirky animal friends (with their oddball supporting cast-the suave penguins are comedy gold) riff nicely off each other, and the comedy is only bolstered by the silly realism-pushing settings and situations (see the lax luxury of the zoo; penguin ship hijack), good one-liners ("Well this sucks") and fun visual gags (see Melman's "We're running out of time!" with a clock on his head). Alex and Marty's friendship crisis, meanwhile, brings some surprisingly mature (if short-lived) drama.

With a well placed cast and some pretty slick animation, Madagascar emerges as a real unsung favorite in 2005. Living up to the tough legacy of animated pics from Dreamworks is hard to do, but this one holds its own very nicely.

I don't really like the new style of animation-- where are all the good old hand animators anymore? Too much CGI is a bad thing, in my mind-- you have to know how to use it right. Despite this grudge, as an entertaining family film, Madacascar scores high. The penguins are great and steal the show, but the main plot is the kind of child-friendly message that all people can enjoy. Especially good is the use of humor that appeals to all age sets.

Delightful and pretty funny animated adventure from the fellas at Dreamworks. Good value for money, though grown-ups will smirk ironically as a certain lion discovers the merits of vegetarianism, as he and his friends attempt to adjust to the jungles of Africa that they are so NOT used to.

In 2005, two films with nearly the exact same plot were released. One is called The Wild. It was made by Disney/Pixar. The animation was outstanding, and the story was sweet and fun. The other was called Madagascar. It had animation that makes it look like it's from the mid 90's, and the story, though similar to that of The Wild, is marred by stupid gags and lame humor, saved only at times by some very funny penguins. Now, decide which of the two films is more worth seeing. Crap!

It plays more as a series of spoofs than a real story, and the result is a movie that is funny in parts, but generally lacking in any substance. What little story did exist I found to be an extremely disturbing parable about homosexuality. ...maybe that's just me. Still, gotta love those penguins.

Madagascar is the type of film that is funny the first time, but it loses its charm after that. The jokes (which are funny at first) get tiring and stupid. The animation is ok, but its definitely not the best from DreamWorks Animation.
