The first film in DreamWorks' s Madagascar franchise, this computer-animated movie combines some genuinely humorous moments with a plot that, in the end, is mostly a car for a number of wacky popular culture gags and bodily comedy. As such, it is an admirable try and inject the sight gags and freeform visual lunacy of cartoon greats like Tex Avery and Chuck Jones into the inflexible realism of modern CGI animation. However, there's also a bent to go overboard with broad gurning and slapstick that does not at all times hit, whereas refusing to commit to the cruelty that made Avery and Jones so laugh-out-loud funny. The story is that zoo animals Alex the Lion (Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Rock), Melman the Giraffe (Schwimmer) and Gloria the Hippo are tired of being pampered by people and wish to experience what it's prefer to stay within the wild. The critters elude New York Zoo animal catchers, catching a ship heading for Africa that by chance drops them off on the island of Madagascar instead. Eventually they discover themselves in the palms of King Julien XIII, a lemur who's attempting to reclaim his kingdom, but he isn't the one risk these hapless zoo animals face. While the zoo animals try to determine how to survive within the wild, they're befriended by a group of rogue penguins. And, as with all DreamWorks motion pictures, there is a unhealthy man, and this one features one of the most entertaining animated villains in years in Captain Chantel DuBois, a French Animal Control Captain with Cruella De Ville in her veins and the ruthless willpower of The Terminator. As with the other films in the sequence, the animation is colourful and eye-popping, however this time there isn't any try at realism in the finest way that Shrek, Despicable Me and Ice Age have accomplished. Rather, subthai are designed to evoke a way of the exuberance of the pure world whereas remaining cartoonish enough for kids and adults to enjoy. The voice solid is a stable one, with Rock, Stiller and Schwimmer each offering likeable riffs on their own public personae. Pickett-Smith, in the meantime, is a colorless afterthought who appears to have been added only to meet the studio's perceived variety necessities. But, with lots of funny jokes and some stunning, spirited music, Madagascar is fun for the entire household. It's not pretty much as good as Shark Tale or Shrek, however it's better than most different current animated movies and will appeal to all ages..
