Lew Alex jest główną atrakcją i królem miejskiej dżungli w nowojorskim zoo w Central Parku. Wraz ze swymi najlepszymi przyjaciółmi: Zebrą Marty'm, Żyrafą Melmanen oraz Hipopotamicą Glorią całe życie spędzili w błogiej niewoli, zajadając się smakołykami i rozkoszując się widokami parku. Marty daje się ponieść swej ciekawości i przy pomocy pingwinów ucieka z ogrodu zoologicznego, aby poznać nieznany dotąd świat wolności. Zamierza powrócić przed następnym rankiem. W środku nocy Alex, Melman i Gloria zauważają zniknięcie przyjaciela i postanawiają wymknąć się z zoo i sprowadzić Marty'ego z powrotem do domu, zanim ktokolwiek zauważy ich zniknięcie. Nawet w Nowym Jorku lew, żyrafa i hipopotamica spacerujący po ulicach i poruszający się metrem wywołują sensację. Alexowi, Melmanowi i Glorii udaje się odnaleźć Marty'ego w stacji Grand Central, ale nie udaje im się złapać kolejki do zoo. Zamiast tego zostają schwytani i wysłani statkiem do Afryki. Kiedy pingwinom udaje się dokonać sabotażu statku, Alex, Melman i Gloria docierają na egzotyczną wyspę Madagaskar. Dopiero teraz urodzeni nowojorczycy muszą nauczyć się przetrwania w dżungli i odkrywają prawdziwy sens słów "to właśnie jest prawdziwa dżungla". (UIP)

I kept waiting and waiting for something real to happen…and then the end credits rolled. Otherwise, Madagascar has likable characters and a few good jokes, especially those involving quotes from well-known movies. Overall, however, it’s just as disappointing as Robots.

A beautiful animation style, a couple of nods to other movies, absolutely wonderful supporting characters (especially Ali G and the penguins), but that’s about all Madagascar has to offer. It sails past nicely, but it isn’t about anything at all. Surprisingly, there isn’t much humor and it is all too obvious that this time DreamWorks aimed the movie at a very young target group alone. Although it isn’t a complete waste of time even for an older audience. But, unfortunately, once it ends you will find it hard to remember any good gags.

Although some newer Disney or Pixar movies may be relatively transparent and moralistic, it is still a better option than a shouting mixture of crazy animals. In Dreamworks, they simply couldn't figure out how to bring the story together with humor and pop culture references, and in the end, they had to rely on supporting characters to save everything. The penguins and King Julien's sidekick Maurice are perfect, and only thanks to them can you handle watching Madagascar repeatedly. However, it is still a clear disappointment, and I am still surprised that the sequels are so much better.

After watching the original version I have to give Madagascar one star and upgrade it from a below average cartoon with not much animation to an average cartoon. The penguins are still the best, the main characters remain annoying, the lemurs don't show any great fun even when they don't speak in slang, but it's a bit more bearable. The best scene remains the one with “What A Wonderful World".

When I was ten and it came out on DVD I loved this film. It has a lot of excellent secondary characters lead by the penguins, all taking place at an incredibly brisk pace. But over time, the only things that remain are Hans Zimmer’s great music and very childish entertainment that is sometimes annoying to adults and which intellectually and narratively can't hold a candle to any Pixar movie – for instance, its entire second half is better executed in the barely ten-minute long sequence “Fish are friends, not food” of Finding Nemo. 55%

This is exactly the kind of comedy I dislike. I had to suffer my way through so many unfunny scenes. Seriously!

Madagascar is a fountain of humorous lines that have basically become humanised, and although the film works best the first time, it can still entertain on repeat viewings. Of the central quartet, Melman, the owner of countless diseases, was by far the most entertaining, and I also liked the trio of lemurs, and of course the "penguin gang", who thankfully got more space in the following years. If you want to laugh sitting in the the couch, the colourful Madagascar is an ideal choice.

I like this cartoon a lot. It's exactly the kind of cartoon that has characters you'll love, including the penguins, who eventually got their own movie.
