Madagascar

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2005)

Movie review? No--I just want to say this: I LOVE the lemur leader, "The Original King Julien"!!! For me he steals the show from the moment he appears on screen. I have already loaded his intro song "I Like To Move It, Move It" into my iPod and bounce to it on my way to work each morning. He is sooo funny--and cuddly looking too. I want him. OK, at least a collectible doll of him. OK--a little movie review: I saw the movie as a rental on Saturday--purchased the DVD on Sunday. I loved the animation art style--colorful and lively. Great choices in the character voices, and the animators were very effective in marrying the images and the personalities of the actors. Great timing, many LOL moments. And I think the penguins have sitcom potential. A fun family movie including intelligent humor for the grown-ups. Yeah, I'm just a big kid at heart, and "Madagascar" is a great place to go to entertain the crumb crusher in me.
