Shark Tale It Is Not
Got to see Madagascar with my mom and sis last night and enjoyed it a lot! Way above Shark Tale which was such a disappointment. (I guess not every idea that the Dreamworks guys churn out becomes a masterpiece.) The lemurs, chimps and most specially, the team of espionage agent penguins, absolutely steal the show! You won't be able to keep your eyes off an Ali G-voiced lemur (hysterical!) who dances the robot. If you're looking for substance, though, this isn't the movie for you. Hello, this is supposed to be for kids so you're supposed to just be like one when you watch it.
The story revolves around four friends, Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer) and Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett-Smith) who have lived their entire lives as main attractions in New York City's Central Park Zoo. Marty, though, can't resist his yearning for the call of the wild and when he does escape (the ide of which he got from the penguins), the three other animals attempt to rescue him. Therein begins their adventure. Not so original but you know me, just plant my butt in front of a good ole animated flick and I'll blissfully let time pass me by...
