an excellent film for people all ages

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2005)

I went to see this film over the weekend with my boyfriend and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. there are gags in there that are suited for all ages and the film isn't too childish. having seen other animated films such as Shrek, Shark Tale or The Incredibles, there are many films that could rival this but Madagascar comes in the top few animations. the plot of Marty the Zebra wanting for a better life in the wild works brilliantly as his friends go looking for him when he goes missing. however like with all stories their adventure doesn't go as planned and the four friends end up marooned on the island of Madagascar. In some places you do wonder if the plot is going to develop a bit more, and often it doesn't. however the characters personalities keep the plot going and the character of Melman the giraffe is very funny in places. this films is highly recommended for children and adults alike!!
