Not for kids under 3!

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2008)

First, I take complete responsibility for not looking deeper into the rating before I went to the movie. My mistake was assuming that all cartoon movies are made for children. There were LOTS of parents in the theater with children under 5 and we all left saying the same thing.. the movie is way too violent and in some places even "scary" for children under 5.
That said, I found the movie incredibly funny and enjoyed it very much. There were several points in the film where all the adults in the audience laughed, though I think even the kids over 5 never really "got it." The biggest laugh I heard from the kids during the entire movie was from the preview of Madagascar 2.
On an additional note, the voices are a perfect match for the personalities of each character.
I just have to remember that not all cartoon movies are made for kids.
