Hilarious

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2005)

I laughed out loud all through the movie. My granddaughter and daughter also loved it. I also liked the way the movie showed the variety of lemurs and other primates on Madagascar. Also the rocky boundary between the east part of Madagascar and the west is real and the reason the lemurs have survived in such variety. The east is rain forest and the west is populated by humans since it is arable. I don't know about the Fossas though. Are they a real species? They resembled hyenas or wild dogs in their behavior. The transition from zoo animal to wild was great in the way Alex the lion was portrayed. The voice of the head penguin reminded me of Danny DeVito, but he isn't listed in the credits.
