The rag-tag New York team of Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo decide to head home and discover Africa for the very first time.
Marty, a Central Park Zoo zebra, longs to see the wild and his wish is granted after a string of circumstances. Accompanied by his zoo pals, they learn to live without pampering from humans but this brings out Alex the lion"s natural instincts and he starts to see his friends as food. This is one of those cartoons adults can enjoy. Not as laugh out loud as the Shreks but a piece of animation which should be saluted.
Bought the film from sainsburys £9.99
Really good film very funny but has to be watced again without the kids so I can get to see all the bits that went over the kids heads.
Loved the penguins mission impossible part.
Great all round film and kids loved it too

At New York's Central Park Zoo, a lion (Stiller), a zebra (Rock), a giraffe (Schwimmer), and a hippo (Pinkett Smith) are best friends and stars of the show. But when one of the animals goes missing from their cage, the other three break free to look for him, only to find themselves reunited... on a ship en route to Africa. When their vessel is hijacked, however, the friends, who have all been raised in captivity, learn first-hand what life can be like in the wild!
CGI animated feature from Dreamworks Studios. When a group of pampered Central Park Zoo animals find themselves transported to the wild, they find that their easy life in captivity hasn't prepared them in the slightest for the real world. Alex the Lion (voiced by Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer) are star attractions at the Central Park Zoo in New York. When they find themselves mixed up in an attempted zoo-break by the cunning penguins, the keepers decide that the animals are restless and return them to the wild. On the island of Madagascar, the animals are having a hard time adjusting, but when they meet eccentric King Julien (Sacha Baron Cohen), they start to find life a bit easier, even if Alex the Lion is gradually reverting to his more primal instincts.
