PG (for mild language, crude humor and some thematic elements)

Madagascar could’ve been a completely wasted opportunity, but it selects its friendship group between a lion, a zebra, a hippo and a giraffe and lets them escape the zoo in the right way. By the correct way, this animation is sweet, charming, humorous, creative and leads the excursion with a soft heart.

If it weren’t for how entertaining the structure of this family animation was, it would’ve been an utter failure. The humour isn’t that frequent, but is very original and uproarious when its moments arrive. The idea that could’ve been easily ruined was the selection of these memorable animal characters. They’re slapstick and quirky enough for families to enjoy, but their voice performers definitely give them a personality. Sacha Baron Cohen would definitely be the greatest out of them, giving his spoiled character a hilariously loveable identity.

Although Madagascar’s superb ideas overshadow the weaknesses, theres still a reasonable lack of speed. The story is fairly clichéd and often falls into mildly bland situations. It’s obviously not for everyone, but there’s no reason why young children won’t enjoy it.
