Reviews for Madagascar
If you're six, the idea that your best friend might want to eat you isn't so literal or alarming.
05/28/05
The latest entry in the cute-animal-talking-like-Oscar Wilde meets colorful comuter generated animation.
05/28/05
Like SHREK 2 and other Dreamworks toons, MADAGASCAR features lots of lame references to other movies and appropriations of other movies' songs
05/28/05
1995 is long gone, and so are that year’s standards.
05/27/05
Madagascar: story stretched thin. Animated adventure works for kids.
05/27/05
Madagascar revels in its own silliness and does so unapologetically.
05/27/05
One of the most lackluster of the modern, big-budget CG-animated releases.
05/27/05
Ultimately earns my endorsement through the efforts of an Ali G-voiced lemur who dances the robot and a crack team of espionage-agent penguins.
05/27/05
DreamWorks set the bar awfully low last fall with Shark Tale, but like a limbo champion it slips lower still with Madagascar.
05/27/05
The movie's celebrity voice talent is reined in, and potentially scary parts are toned down, ensuring that even very young kids will appreciate most scenes. Unfortunately, this modulated approach extends to the story, which lacks a climax.
05/27/05
A very good idea, blandly executed. The cartoon's saving grace is the amusing shtick, generated by its lion, zebra and giraffe, oh my.
05/27/05
Madagascar is great good fun, not only because the filmmakers have enlisted some wonderful voice talent but also because the visuals truly are marvelous.
05/27/05
The fact is, apart from certain superficial visual distinctions, virtually all of the recent studio-produced, star-voiced computer-animated movies feel like they could have been produced on different assembly lines in the same factory.
05/27/05
As joke machines go, 'Madagascar' is a reasonably reliable one -- much more so than 'Shark Tale' -- with Rock and Stiller pouring a lot of personality into their characters.
05/27/05
This endearing character piece offers animal high jinks for youngsters, plus pop culture humor and lushly composed animation for adults.
05/27/05
What makes it good is that the story is a kind of parable that suggests some seriousness beneath the surface, even sadness.
05/27/05
The film ends with an obvious bid for a sequel, and why not? Madagascar and its charming critters deserve an encore.
05/27/05
It's a nice-looking movie that makes a good first impression, but the longer Madagascar plays the less interest it sustains in its story of a zoo-kept lion and zebra who take a walk on the wild side.
05/27/05
Take the kids. Find a globe. Do some teaching.
