It is a computer animated film done by Dreamworks Animation and I believe that once again Dreamworks have lived up to their expectations in creating fun enjoyable films for children and adults. ...  Read the complete review

I watched Madagascar recently on DVD and found it very enjoyable and short enough too so it's easy to watch for children with small attention spans and adults alike. The story in Madagascar is simple enough and is for children of all ages. It surrounds four very pampered, spoilt animals who have it all and live in Central ...  Read the complete review

(film only review) Introduction Madagascar was an animated movie which was first released in 2005. It was produced by the Dreamworks animation studios. It is much in the style of many recent animated movies which try to cater to family audiences aiming to provide laughs and entertainment for young and old. The film ...  Read the complete review

I've got to say, this is one of the best animated films I've seen! with a all-star cast, outstanding music and a good story line, I will admit I have watched this film at least 6-7 times because it's a real feel good film and It's certainly not just for kids! It starts with Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), ...  Read the complete review

I'd been giving these Children and Animation films a miss - having found the Shrek films fairly awful. I had a change of heart a while back though when I thoroughly enjoyed Ratatouille. I approached Madagascar with extreme caution though as it was definitely more of a blockbuster than Ratatouille and I find David Schwimmer annoying, Ben ...  Read the complete review

Madagascar is a simple but charming movie which was released about 5 years ago, and for some reason I only watched today. It's based around a selection of zoo animals who get released from the zoo because of a stunt they pulled in getting out of the zoo. They are meant to be shipped to Africa but because of the somewhat psychopathic (but ...  Read the complete review

I write this review as an eighteen year old teenagee boy, i.e. probably not DreamWorks' ideal concept of target audience, but I had heard it was a successful film, and after owning the film for quite a while, I finally got around to watching it. I am an avid fan of the Shrek films, so hoped this enjoyment would allow me to ...  Read the complete review

The script is very entertaining and ...  Read the complete review

What do you get if you pull a lion, a zebra, a hippo and an intensely hypochondriacal giraffe out of their plush zoo habitat and plonk them on an African island? A great funny film for kids of ALL ages. New York zebra Marty (Chris Rock), cooped up in the zoo, longs to visit the 'wild' which he imagines to be some lush ...  Read the complete review

Shrek was the first major computer animated feature film that I had seen. It was hilarious! Brilliant! I was dissapointed by sharks tale, which seemed to rely on the names that were in the film, rather than script, story, or humour. And then....then came madagascar. It was released in 2005, and I was excited. The ...  Read the complete review

Not a bad film all in all. I've seen a few "kids / kind of also suitable for adult films" lately and some of them have been disappointing i.e. not nearly as good as Toy Story and the like. This one probably fares somewhere in the middle. It is relatively funny, and has some good characters with Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer ...  Read the complete review
