I first started watching Madagascar when I was 10. It was out in a movie Theater. I saw this with my mother and my sister. I enjoyed that movie until I started being afraid and I was scared of when Alex was Roaring and I was so scared. My mom was I think noticing a little. I got scared the Rest of the movie and after we saw the movie out in a theater, my mom said, "You're afraid." and my mom once told me that if I am afraid, I pray or talk to my parents. I saw it again when I was 11 and I was still scared because of my usual (Roaring) and I didn't get my ears plugged. I got my eyes opened like if it were blurry and after that, I vowed not to watch it again until I get rid of my fear and for the past 2 years after I saw The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, I chose to go back to it and I was 13. While I was watching the movie, I was holding the Lucky Snowman Stick, it helps me get rid of my fear and after I saw the movie, my fear of Roaring is gone. And that is what makes me want to go back to watching The Lion King. I made my rule that the only way to see Madagascar 2 is when I get rid of my fear.

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 AT NEW YORK'S CENTRAL PARK ZOO, A LION, A ZEBRA, A GIRAFFE & A HIPPO ARE BEST FRIENDS & STARS OF THE SHOW. BUT WHEN ONE OF THE ANIMALS GOES MISSING FROM THEIR CAGE, THE OTHER 3 BREAK FREE TO LOOK FOR HIM, ONLY TO FIND THEMSELVES REUNITED ... ON A SHIP EN ROUTE TO AFRICA. THEY WILL LEARN WHAT LIFE IN THE WILD IS LIKE.

disappointed - J. Brewer - AR
I don't know what everyone else see's in this movie but I failed to see anything funny in it. First of all a lot of the humor is way over a little kids head. They wouldn't have the slightest idea what they were talking about. It's like they wanted to make it for the adults to laugh at and forget about the kids. Isn't this a kids movie??? Also it has an incredibly slow start. The first 30 min. of the movie are very boring to say the least, most kids would have already lost interst in this movie before it ever picks up speed. Right when you think things are going to get going with the music and dancing, it stops! Way to much dialoge for little kids and not enough action and music to carry the movie through. SOOOOOOOO disappointed.

The worst CGI animated movie you'll ever watch... - PlanetHell - USA unfortunately
I have no idea how this movie was a hit. Oh wait, because it is totally shamless, filled with endless pop culture references, and features overly cartoony animation.
Expressing how boring the movie would be hard. Nothing in the movie was funny, engaging, anything. It was just endless gags about "New York Giants," and poor animation. Nobody will remember this movie in 10 years, no one. They will turning on "Finding Nemo," "The Incredibles," "Cars," or even the recent "How To Train Your Dragon" instead. Unlike those movies, this one didn't try to have good story and characters, it just went for the lowest of the low. Only Happy Feet was more untolerable.
