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

Irishjule (New Jersey)
I enjoyed this film very much. It is a pleasure to have verbiage that is not offensive to anyone and employs comedy with thoughtful circumstances.

Actually, the second in this series is better than the first although this one sets the story line.
Great fun, awesome BluRay December 21, 2008
Larsanna (California)
If you - like me - enjoy a good cartoon, this is one to watch. It's not only funny and enjoyable, it's flat our hilarious. The comedy is very well timed and not to dirty.
I can't wait to get the sequel.

This was for a Christmas gift for my best friend's son. I've seen it before an it is an excellent movie! Jada Pinkett-Smith is wonderful as the hippo. David Swimmer is so funny as the sickly giraffe!
