| Description Two features. In 'Madagascar' the friendship between a New York City lion and zebra is tested when fate brings them out to the unforgiving wilderness in this computer-animated feature. Chris Rock does the voice of Marty the Zebra, whose longing to explore beyond his cushy Central Park Zoo boundaries is the impetus that ultimately strands him and his pals on the shores of savage Madagascar. Marty loves the new, edible scenery, but his best friend Alex (voiced by Ben Stiller) the Lion begins to starve since his diet of thick steaks has been cut off, and the rump of his friend starts to look mighty tasty. Their other friends, a hypochondriac giraffe (David Schwimmer) and a sassy hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), try their best to think of a solution as the call of the wild slowly turns the starving Alex into Marty's worst nightmare. Meanwhile the hilariously self aggrandising King of the Ocelots (Sacha Cohen) has a plan to use Marty to repel their own carnivore problem. This kid-oriented comedy stays adult-friendly every step of the way thanks to a clever script that mixes New Yorker humour and even some existentialism in with the pratfalls and spit-takes. Jolts of comedic brilliance are supplied by some Arctic-bound escaped con penguins, and a couple of literary apes. It's not a musical, but classic songs from the likes of Louis Armstrong and Sammy Davis Jr. keep the montages flowing loose and sassy. Also includes 'Penguin Christmas Caper'.

Report this review Madagascar/ Penguin Christmas Caper DVDReview created: 06/07/08 by: I originally got this one from my mate in work as a copy, yeah I know highly illegal and for a very good reason. But copys are just that,....copys and you've got no comeback so having tried to play it for the kids getting 2 thirds into it and it freezing,...equals very unhappy kids. But the fact remains that it is a very good film and the comedy works on two different levels at the same time for the kids: slapstick humour and for the adults the humour works on a much higher level. altogether a well put together movie with well chosen characters played brilliantly by all the featured actors. the one that did it for me was Baron-Cohen as king of the lemurs definately stole it for me. The joy in animation is that it is timeless and you can sit down with the kids and watch it again and again and this film wont let you down the featurette Penguin Christmas Caper is brilliant too..... recomend this film Review ID: 10000000007839649 Was this review helpful?
