It's definitely no 'Shrek'

Rating: 5/10 (21 January 2007)

Dreamworks add Madagascar to their list of CGI cartoons, where four pampered zoo animals from New York find themselves shipwrecked on the island of Madagascar.
Voiced by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith, the animals soon learn its a jungle out there.
Next to Shrek, Toy Story and Finding Nemo this is very poor, the CGI uses what appears to be a different technique (more cartoonish) and although it is impressive, it doesn't look as good. The biggest failing is this - only traces of the charm, humour, parody and magic that made the aforementioned films so good, still remain here, and it ends up as an OK kids film, that adults can watch without being bored to death; but nothing more.
