Synopsis
Alex the lion is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York's Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends—Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo—have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public and with regular meals provided for them. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape—with the help of some prodigious penguins—to explore the world.

Entertainment Weekly
Dishes up some very corny jokes, but the images have a brighter-than-life vivacity. - 88
Charlotte Observer
The animals' personalities have been carefully calibrated: They have sufficient edge to amuse us as characters, yet they're cuddly enough to market as plush toys or action figures. - 80
Dallas Observer
It's bright and spry, giggly and bouncy, but also cuddly with occasional touches of cruelty--a movie in which best friends, when let loose in the wild, suddenly realize one's a little higher on the food chain. - 63
ReelViews
Eventually, it had to happen: a computer-animated dud. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
It's frustrating to see this wonderful-looking, laugh-out-loud funny survival tale fall short of its potential. - 60
Variety
Pleasant, if mediocre family fare. - 60
Village Voice
Madagascar's relaxed density is a relief given the DreamWorks tendency to overbear, overblast, and overcaricaturize. - 50
The New Yorker
Often quite beautiful. But Madagascar, which was directed by Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath, is mismanaged pretty much from start to finish.
