Your Average Computer-Animated Flick(SPOILERS)

Rating: 6/10 (12 December 2006)

SPOILERS
There were a lot of computer-animated films in 2005 and 2006 and 2004. There were a lot of average ones. There was Cars, which was kind of overrated, there was Flushed Away, there was the Incredibles, which was great, and there was this. I liked this one, but it was still average. There were a lot of pop culture references. I mean, Planet of the Apes, American Beauty, Chariots of Fire, Moulin Rouge. I could go on forever, but I'm lazy.
A zebra named Marty that lives in the zoo wants to see the wild. He escapes from the zoo. His friends Alex, Gloria, and Melman go after him. They are captured and are sent on a ship to Kenya. Their crates fall out and they wash up on Madagascar. They find lemurs. Unfortuanely Alex is becoming to come crazy. He wants steak. He attacks Marty and has to go to side of the island with Fossa in it. Marty goes to find Alex and he is attacked by Fossa. Alex saves him. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that there are penguins in this that brought a ship to Madagascar. Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman go on the ship. It turns out that the ship ran out of gas. It is a cliff-hanger.
Overall, this is a nice little film. Although I have seen much better computer-animated films, it is still a good film to watch with your family. There are funny moments and I smiled at the pop culture references, by that is it. But I did like the penguins. There were psychotic. They knocked out several humans, they tricked the other animals, and more. Anyway, this is a good little computer-animated film.
6/10
