Madagascar Movie Synopsis & Plot

Alex the Lion (Stiller) is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York's Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends Marty the Zebra (Rock), Melman the Giraffe (Schwimmer) and Gloria the Hippo (Pinkett Smith) have lived their entire lives in blissful captivity, with regular meals provided and an admiring public to adore them.

Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty allows his curiosity to get the better of him and, with the help of some prodigious penguins, makes his escape to explore the world he's been missing. Alex, Melman and Gloria go after him, but before they can go wild in the streets, they are captured, crated and put on a ship to Africa... to be ultimately set free.

When those plotting penguins sabotage the ship, Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria find themselves washed ashore on the exotic island of Madagascar. Now, these native New Yorkers have to figure out how to survive in the wild and discover the true meaning of the phrase "It's a jungle out there."

MOVIE REVIEW

CGI-animated films have become a commodity now, haven't they? Back in the day when only Pixar was doing these films, we were assured that they would be good. Even when Dreamworks got into the mix with "Shrek," I still had a lot of confidence in the new generation of animated films. But things have changed over the last year. Theaters have been hit with a series of so-so releases such as "Shark Tale" and "Robots," which have shaken confidence in the guaranteed goodness of the genre.
