| Description 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.

Report this review I Like To Move It , Move It!Review created: 02/07/07 by: Alex the Lion, Melman the hypochondriac Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo leave the safety of Manhattan Zoo to bring back their runaway friend, Marty the Zebra who has escaped in search of 'the wild'. Unfortunately during their road trip around New York they are captured and shipped out of the country - only to end up in Madagasgar - where events take a strange turn and friendships are strained. Whilst no in the same league as Shrek, this film benefits from some strong voice casting (Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer, Chris Rock), but it is the supporting characters who steal the film consistently. Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Ali G) voices the brilliantly egotistical lemur King Julian and the idiosyncratic monkeys and 'great escape' obsessed penguins are scene stealers at every turn. Buy this film - you will not be disappointed - plenty for both children and adults to like. Review ID: 10000000003874736 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
