General comments: Madagascar is a funny, enjoyable and fanstatic movie.
As the previous review has noted this film feels like disney of old. There are multiple stars in the film - penguins, lemur king and side kick, and the main quartet (lion, giraffe, zebra and hippo) which means the film is full - one set of characters does not have to carry the whole film as in the obnoxious shark tale (again see previous review). The penguins and lemurs fill in around the main stars relieving them of this need which I dont think they would have been up to. The three groups have completely different qualities which make the film very balanced.
The writers have avoided clich - e.g. the monkeys are clearly based on the see no - hear no - speak no evil trio but the writers have only used two and even these have not been copied exactly.
The music is enjoyable - at the cinema I went to there were kids up in front of the screen dancing to the music during the credits.
Go and see it. Then buy it on dvd when it comes out. Then buy the writers a drink.

Take four pampered, zoo born-and-bred animals, drop them into the deepest, darkest jungles of Madagascar, and hilarity ensues. That at least is the theory in Dreamworks' latest computer generated animation. Though it would be more accurate to call Madagascar a cartoon in the old sense of the word since, tehcnical methodology aside, the style of this movie is, in part, heavily influenced by the likes of Bugs and Daffy.
Dreamworks of course have inflicted upon us the good (the first Shrek), the ...
