Not just for kids

2008-08-30
This movie is not just for kids. It is an all out family movie for ALL ages. I highly recommend it for any parents, grandparents to buy and watch this movie.

A hit....

My little guy loves animals and this movie was a hit. Someone recommended it to me and I am so glad I purchased it. My kids (2 & 3.5 years old) and husband love it, can't wait for Part 2 to come out in theaters!

Fantastic.... Story line great, actors and actresses are better then expected, great adult humor along with the values needed for children. I actually purchased this movie new when it came out. I lent it to someone and never got it back. So I bought it again, because it is so great. I would say this movie gets watched approximately 6 to 8 times a year. Excellent Movie!

A Disney wannabe but still fun.

Why is it, whenever another major studio tries to do an animated film it usually sucks?
Shrek is the only exception.
Madagascar is still a fun movie with great animation.
The script and story line is pleasant and fun to watch.
It's not too scary or too serious for the youngins.
All in all, it's not The Lion King but it's still good for kids.
Adults may be a bit bored by it. I was.
It's definitely worth a rental.

According to my 7 year old son said , "It was pretty cool!"

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I laughed at this move. Very entertaining. One of the better kid's movies we've seen in a while.

Move it! Move it! for Madagascar the #1 Family Comedy of the Year from the studio that brought you Shrek and Shark Tale. When four pampered animals from New York s Central Park Zoo accidentally find themselves shipwrecked on the exotic island of Madagascar they discover it really IS a jungle out there! Ben Stiller Chris Rock David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith headline an all-star cast of hilarious animals including a quartet of mischievous penguins and legions of lemurs led by the outrageous King Julien. Madagascar is a roaring good family film that you ll go wild for again and again!System Requirements:Running Time 86 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 678149456622 Manufacturer No: 94566

Entertaining for old and young

2008-05-21
There are not that many kiddie movies that adults can also watch and giggle at without cringing at some point for one too many corny moments. Madagascar has zero corny moments and is a laugh from beginning to end. The "side-acts" steal the show though ... loved the penguins and the lemurs, especially the King of the Lemurs who has some great one-liners....

"I have a new crown ... it's got a gecko on it and everything!!"

Love it

I love this DVD and I am a grown woman. The Lemur king is hilarious. The movie was a bit slow in the beginning but picked up when they got to the beach. Love the song (Move It) and the dancing lemurs. Great movie for kids and kids at heart. The plot was not brilliant...it is cartoon but I watch movies strictly for entertainment and don't spend my time being analytical about it. This movie definitely entertains.
Thanks.

ABSOLUTELY ENTERTAINING FILM FOR CHILDREN AND ME

2008-04-04
My grandchildren watch this movie all the time. My husband and I also love it. The penquins steal the show and the catchy phrase "just smile and wave boys" seems to fit on some crazy, stress filled days. I think more movies like this should be made. Violent cartoons, senseless shows should be banned. Entertain the children with animated, messages of comraderie, love of nature and openness to all people.

Hugely Under Rated

This is a wonderful movie. Our almost three-year-old daughter loves it. She is a big fan of Alex and Marty. And we adults are totally impressed too. There are so many funny details, so many funny minor characters like the trash-scavenging, newspaper-reading, British accented chimpanzees, the penguins, very funny Sascha Baron Cohen lending the voice for the king of lemurs. The music is great. Our daughter watches it at least twice everyday (other parents wrote about its appeal to kids, and I totally understand that) and is still not tired of it.
