Best comedy of the year!

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2005)

I just attended a press screening in Los Angeles. This movie is a "reel" hoot. It was simply hilarious. The spoofs, take-offs, and references to other movies, music and characters come fast and furious - so you'll probably need to see it several times to catch all of them (shh, no talking in the theater). The plot - a bunch of New York City zoo animals end up back in the wild with all their madcap adventures along the way. Excellent animation, voices, music and jokes. The spoiler - it was over in 85 minutes and I wanted more - I was spoiled. I can't wait for Madagascar 2! And, please stay seated until the end of the credits, the complete end - you will be treated all during the credits with a special treat at the very end.
