I like to move it move it

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2007)

Madagascar is no "must see", but it is a good animation. Just hearing Ben Stiller and Chris Rock voices' is funny. The story was compelling enough: four animals raised in the New York Zoo accidentally end up in Madagascar. Marty the zebra (Chris Rock) loves it, whereas Alex the lion (Ben Stiller) wants nothing to do with the wild. Things get hairy when Alex starts visualizing his friends and every other animal as food. The movie is helped in the comedy department by the lemurs and the penguins. I even watched the penguin bonus short on the DVD. I watch these movies because of my kids, and they loved it. They particularly loved the theme song: "I like to move it move it..."
