Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2006)

I am a real sucker for animation. I love them. I am 67 years old and get more joy out of animated movies than my grandchildren. I saw this movie at the theater - then bought it - and when it comes on cable I will sit and watch it again. It is just a fun movie. Chris Rock - "rocks" - he is so funny. Ben Stiller does a fantastic job as Alex. The scenery is beautiful. The more you watch it the more you see. The Lemurs are great. Watch the background and all the partying that goes on. It is funny. The monkeys are such snobs yet are so just monkeys. I think Marty is the actual star of this movie. What energy and he just seems to get you involved in his excitement also. I would recommend this movie to anyone. It is easy to watch - easy for small children to understand. I find this movie the perfect movie to watch over and over again. When nothing is on TV - animation is the way to go. Enjoy!
