Madagascar is an animated comedy made by Dream Works. Madagascar was released in 2005. It’s starred by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo live luxury life on the Central park zoo. Marty is tired about his life and he wants to run away. Others don’t like about this idea, but Marty leaves. Alex, Melman and Gloria go to seek Marty. People catch the animals and try to transport them to another zoo. During the ship voyage runaway penguins take over the ship because they want to go to Antarctica. Because of this the boxes of animals fall to the sea and they drift to  Madagascar. The plot progresses well and something interesting is going on all the time. Only lemurs and wicked fossas live in Madagascar. Lemurs want Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria to join their pack. However Alex’s natural instincts awake and he sees other animals as walking pieces of meat around him. This brings a little bit thrill to the plot. Alex escapes deep to the jungle because he fears that he would otherwise hurt his friends . Marty, Melman and Gloria go to seek Alex, but fossas attack. Alex is a hero and he saves his friends. Friends are happy because they are together again and Alex learns to eat fish instead of meat. The penguins come to Madagascar and Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria want to go back to New York. The ending is good because it makes you to want to see next movie and because everything did not go as expected. If the movie was longer it would be boring because the plot is simple.

I like the voice actors and the voices fit their roles very well. I think that the Alex’s voice is the best (Ben Stiller). Also finnish voice acting is good. Melman’s voice is the best in the finnish dub.(Janne Reinikainen). The King Julien’s voice is funny and very good. I don’t have anything negative to say about the voice actors.

Music doesn’t play so big part in the movie. Only few songs are hear in Madagascar. I think that it is a good thing. ”I like to move it” is the theme song of the movie. That song is so catchy, but it can be so annoying. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t.

Madagascar is well done computer animation. All the Madagascar viewes and voices have been done very well. The movie is also funny. I think that it’s funny for children and adults. Madgascar is a movie for the whole family and I recommend it for all people, for kids and adults alike.  Madagascar is one of my favourite animated movies!

Marty: I wished I could go to the wild!

Alex: That is the worst idea I’ve ever heard.
