That's not funny at all!

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2006)

Please watch "Requiem for a Dream" by Darren Aronofsky (2000) before you watch "Madagascar" (or parallel or as you like). You will probably instantly notice, that the character of Alex the lion is a shockingly exact citation of the LSD-addicted Sara Goldfarb (played by Ellen Burstyn), who has an eating disorder. Even some shots - the fragmented eating scene right at the beginning of "Madagascar", for instance - are done exactly the same way. Knowing that, it's not funny at all to watch "Madagascar" - it's shocking. Even though, Alex the lion does not end up in a hospital... How irresponsible can one be to do this in a children's movie???
