The
friendship
between
a
New
York
City
lion
and
zebra
is
tested
when
fate
brings
them
out
to
the
unforgiving
wilderness
in
this
computer-animated
DreamWorks
feature.
Chris
Rock
does
the
voice
of
Marty
the
Zebra,
whose
longing
to
explore
beyond
his
cushy
Central
Park
Zoo
boundaries
is
the
impetus
that
ultimately
strands
him
and
his
pals
on
the
shores
of
savage
Madagascar.
Marty
loves
the
new,
edible
scenery,
but
his
best
friend
Alex
(voiced
by
Ben
Stiller)
the
Lion
begins
to
starve
since
his
diet
of
thick
steaks
has
been
cut
off,
and
the
rump
of
his
friend
starts
to
look
mighty
tasty.
Their
other
friends,
a
hypochondriac
giraffe
(David
Schwimmer)
and
a
sassy
hippo
(Jada
Pinkett
Smith),
try
their
best
to
think
of a
solution
as
the
call
of
the
wild
slowly
turns
the
starving
Alex
into
Marty's
worst
nightmare.
Meanwhile
the
hilariously
self-aggrandizing
King
of
the
Ocelots
(Sacha
Cohen)
has
a
plan
to
use
Marty
to
repel
their
own
carnivore
problem.
This
kid-oriented
comedy
stays
adult-friendly
every
step
of
the
way
thanks
to a
clever
script
that
mixes
New
Yorker
humor
and
even
some
existentialism
in
with
the
pratfalls
and
spit-takes.
Jolts
of
comedic
brilliance
are
supplied
by
some
Arctic-bound
escaped
con
penguins,
and
a
couple
of
literary
apes.
It's
not
a
musical,
but
classic
songs
from
the
likes
of
Louis
Armstrong
and
Sammy
Davis
Jr.
keep
the
montages
flowing
loose
and
sassy.
