wild.. |

Movie Review |
Reviewed by
Coralie Heiler :
DreamWorks’ Madagascar is a film the whole family
is bound to enjoy. The masterminds behind Shrek and
Shark Tale now breathe life in the craziest bunch of
computer-animated animals to ever hit the local Cineplex.
This is a ‘feel-good’ flick that focuses
on zoo animals, most particularly on a zany zebra named
Marty (voiced by Chris Rock), who longs to return to
the wild. Life in the Central Park Zoo where he lives
has become tedious and boring, and our striped friend
longs for a bit of adventure. One day, upon hearing
the escape plan of four highly mischievous, scene-steeling
penguins, Marty decides to fly the coop, forcing three
of his closest zoo mates (a lion, a giraffe and a hippo)
to follow him in order to bring him back home..

Review By Scott
"Kubryk" Sawitz :
Making an animated feature seems to have found
its' own sort of formula in Hollywood nowadays. Design
a plot that little kids can understand and adults will
approve of, throw in some big name actors to lend their
voice, then mix in some good-natured jokes meshed with
some amusing gags and you have a formula to do some
serious damage at the box office. Animated hits are
becoming the norm, as few animated movies fail to take
a sizable chunk out of box office receipts in any given
year.. More..
