Madagascar

Genres: Animation, Adventure, Comedy, Family

Tagline: Someone’s got a zoo loose.

Plot Outline: Spoiled by their upbringing with no idea what wild life is really like, four animals from New York Central Zoo escape in search of their friend and find themselves on route to Madagascar

My Rating: 10 [rate 5]

Cast: Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer, Andy Richter, Tom McGrath, Christopher Knights, Chris Miller, Conrad Vernon, Eric Darnell, David Cowgill, Stephen Apostolina, Elisa Gabrielli

“Move it! Move it!” for Madagascar, the year’s most hilarious comedy, from the studio that broght you Shrek and Shark Tale.

My favorite part of the movie is a scene where the animals sing the song “I like to move it, move it” and the video clip of the same song. I think that it’s really nice that a 3d animated movie has been made that not only has a really nice plot but also has a cartoonish style.
