"I'm ten years old. My life is half over and I don't even know if I'm black with white stripes or white with black stripes!"

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2020)

The zebra got tired of living in the New York Zoo and decided to run away and try his hand at life in the wild. His best friend, a spoiled and egocentric lion, a protective hippopotamus and a hypochondriac giraffe embark on a rescue mission, and by a combination of unfortunate circumstances, they all end up in Madagascar, where their true natures come to the fore, and friendship must resist animal instincts and struggle for survival.
This already cult animated comedy brings a lot of interesting situations and fun or even hilarious characters. The cast is great, and the performances of Chris Rock in the role of the zebra Marty and Sacha Baron Cohen in the role of the lemur king are unforgettable. And there are of course the awesome penguins who also have their own spin-off series and movie. It is not a masterpiece, but it is a great choice when you want to relax and smile, simple and colorful enough for the youngest, and intelligent and witty for the mature audience.
8/10
