	Madagascar Movie - The Hollywood News
		Madagascar is the latest computer animated concoction from Dreamworks, and while it certainly looks good, it can’t hold a barbecued weed-rat to the likes of Shrek.
		Madagascar looks spectacular, and the tone of the film is more old school than contemporary (think Rocky and Bullwinkle), although some of the film’s funniest gags (including a clever riff on American Beauty) are taken from more current headlines.
		I also like the film’s introduction to a massive family of lemurs who engage in a rave that proves the be much funnier than the unintentionally hilarious rave in Matrix Reloaded, as well as Alex’s comeuppance as to his real status in the wild.

		Their new film, Madagascar, is however aimed at a slightly younger audience, though there are still a number of slick jokes aimed mainly at accompanying adults.
		The simple central focus of the film is on the friendship between Alex the lion (voiced by Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the giraffe (David Schwimmer) and Gloria the hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith).
		The film takes a while to get going, spending much of its first half establishing Marty's longing to see something of the wild and Alex's desire to stay right where he is - naturally since he's the main attraction at the zoo.

	Madagascar Penguins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Madagascar Penguins, from the film, Madagascar, are a group of four penguins who believe they are spies.
		This seems to be a satire or a parody of the generalization of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq in which the United States took control of Iraq and created a government, which many believed to be a "puppet government".
		The Old Lady who captures Private in The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper also played a cameo part in Madagascar as the lady who assaulted Alex the lion (and Melman the giraffe briefly) with her bag in Grand Central Station.

		The animation, especially on the island of Madagascar is going for a retro, cartoony look, so the film isn't pushing any boundaries.
		The result is that overall, the film feels thin in nearly all respects.
		They are sidetracked to Madagascar, where the joke is they have no idea how to live in the wild.

		Madagascar proves a few theories that have been rattling around in my head.
		Rather than have the critters meet their feral counterparts, the isle of Madagascar is populated with lemurs and foosa (small wild doggy things).
		Madagascar features a few crude jokes for the parents, some potty humor, and a lot of Bugs Bunny style animated violence.

	globeandmail.com: Madagascar awaits film fans
		Though tourist arrivals have yet to register any significant jump from the film that was released in May, they said medium- and long-term prospects were bright and noted that the island's hospitality industry couldn't cope with an immediate surge anyway.
		Ahead of the film's release, Malagasy tourism board chief Henri Roger described the computer-generated comedy from animation giant DreamWorks as "an incredible chance" that would draw tens of thousands of visitors to the island.
		Madagascar's beach- and rain-forest-driven tourism industry is still recovering from a blow dealt it in 2002 after battles erupted over disputed December, 2001, presidential elections, causing the number of visitors to plummet.

	AnimWatch - Madagascar
		When I see something like Dreamworks' forthcoming film Madagascar, I can only applaud its approach, which stands in contrast to the current flood of CG lookalike animation.
		I was recently treated to a sneak preview of the first 40 minutes of the film, and I have to say, it's funny.
		Madagascar is a fun romp, and I don't think it's trying to be much more than that.

	Film Blather: Madagascar
		We are still in a phase where even the best computer-animated films aim squarely for the "wow" factor, attempting to use the incredible technology to create images of stark physical beauty or impressive scope.
		Madagascar is as visually impressive as the next movie in the genre, but it does more than merely wow: it makes the animation drive the comedy.
		There is a group of penguins, all I believe voiced by one of the film's directors, who scheme and prance around with hilarious, deadpan gusto, eventually commandeering a giant freight boat and, I imagine, ruling the ocean waters.

	Film Review: Madagascar - Cinematical
		Used to be, actors would voice kiddy films for scale, just to be nice, and to have their name and voice on something their own kids would watch.
		The public decides the animals "escaped" because of the cruelty of zoos and the animals need to be returned to the wild; the four friends awaken on a boat bound for a Kenyan wildlife refuge.
		The film is stuffed with movie references - everything from Star Trek to Twilight Zone to Wild Kingdom to Castaway gets spoofed, and there's a particularly funny scene at the beginning where Stiller spoofs his own turn as "Zoolander".

		Not long after, the idea for "Madagascar" came along and Darnell, McGrath and Soria jumped at the chance to reunite on a new project, albeit with a very different animal foursome consisting of a lion, a zebra, a giraffe and a hippo.
		Madagascar is an island off the coast of Africa that is completely unique, with plants and animals that are unlike anything else in the world.
		But there are more crowd sequences in "Madagascar" than in any of the previous 3D animated films from DreamWorks Animation, beginning with the opening of the movie when thousands of people stream into the Central Park Zoo to see Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria and their zoomates.

	Madagascar movie review, In Film Australia
		As a genre computer animated films generally looks so impressive that it is almost redundant for a critic to praise their aesthetic values.
		Without lampooning a genuinely inspirational appearance (ala Nemo) Madagascar gets the balance just about right: the focus is always its characters while the film's secondary niceties -- the backdrops, textures and gradients -- coat their presences with silky pastes of varnish.
		Scattered through their adventures are a hilarious bunch of hyper-intelligent penguins, who use their cutesy appearance as a guise to launch a number of impeccably orchestrated military style coups.

	Madagascar (2005) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Madagascar has to represent the absolute low point of CGI animated films to date—although I haven’t seen Shark Tale, so I can’t be certain.
		The film focuses on four animals who live in New York’s Central Park Zoo: Alex the lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the zebra (Chris Rock), Gloria the hippo (Jana Pinkett Smith) and Melman (David Schwimmer), a giraffe who is a hypochondriac.
		One could draw many spiritual analogies from the film – the loss of innocence when eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Paradise Lost, the effect of the Fall on the created order, how urges drive us to do the things that we would not do.
