The penguins steal the show. In the sprightly Madagascar, a mid-life crisis inspires Marty the Zebra (voiced by Chris Rock) to escape from his lifelong home, a New York zoo. His equally pampered friends--Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer)--then escape to bring him back. Unfortunately, their attempt at damage control persuades zoo officials that the animals are unhappy, so all four get shipped to an animal preserve in Kenya...only a squad of maniacal penguins change the destination to Antarctica. The quartet end up on an island where, in addition to meeting some hedonistic lemurs, they learn about the food chain--and that Alex is a different link on the chain from the other three. Madagascar doesn't achieve the snappy perfection of a Pixar movie, but it tops most other computer-animated efforts; the collision of friendship and predator instincts makes for an unusually gripping conflict. The vocal performances of the central characters is serviceable, but Sacha Baron Cohen (Da Ali G Show) provides topnotch lunacy as the lemur king, and the penguins--voiced mostly by the animators themselves--are the best thing in the movie. --Bret Fetzer

 Madagascar July 1, 2009

DVD lasted 4 showings before it started to freeze up. I should have looked closer. It looks like it was used as a skate on the wrong side. Can I trade this in and put what I spent towards a new one???????
i gave it one star because zero was not an option June 16, 2009

quite simply when it arrived the disk had a mark on it so it won't play. Now mistakes happen and things get broken, BUT if it could have been easily fixed there would be no harm done. However despite all my efforts it has been impossible to contact anyone to get it replaced. I am horrified that Amazon would use this seller.
 Lots of fun! June 9, 2009

The animation is great and the characterizations wonderful. I enjoyed this DVD but I couldn't help wondering if it couldn't be a little better. Still, a lot of laughs and a wonderful film for kids.
 Wonderful movie! May 11, 2009

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I was hesitant to watch it at first simply due to the fact that it is yet another animated movie out there. But, from the time the dvd began I could not leave my seat. It is funny; and has a good story line. Some of the humor is even directed toward an adult audience. After watching it the first time, I purchased the movie. I don't think I will ever tire of watching it!!!
