Details on "MADAGASCAR"

At New York's Central Park Zoo, a lion, a zebra, a giraffe, and a hippo 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, the friends learn first-hand what life can be like in the wild.

Very funny, fast paced, and well animated. Excellent voice cast (Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith). Wonderful quirky scenes such as getting onto a subway, that urban kids can readily relate to. Offers up lessons about friendship and loyalty. There are so few movies that are really suitable for preschoolers and this is one that truly entertains the youngest age group. Contains some crude language, sexual innuendo, cartoon violence and potty humor.
