![]() I'm gonna strangle you, then bury you, dig you up and clone you and kill all your clones!Īnd then, I'm never talking to you again! This place is crackalacking! Oh, I could hang here. San Diego? What could be worse than San Diego? I'm telling you, this could be the San Diego Zoo. White sandy beaches, cleverly simulated natural environment, wide-open enclosures. All right? No harm, no foul, right? Oh, no, no, no. Oh! Would you give a guy a break? Aw! We're just gonna take my little friend here home and. Hey! Don't be calling me cuckoo in the head. Actually, my friend just went a little crazy. We just, uh, had a little situation here. Okay? You're not so good with the "putting the words together and they're coming out good" thing. This is a highly refined type of food thing. There's certainly none of this in the wild So one could take the train? Just Hypothetically. What you gotta do is you go over to Grand Central, and then you gotta take the Metro-North Tran. Well, I hear they have wide-open spaces in Connecticut. Back to your roots, clean air, wide-open spaces! The wild? Are you nuts? That is the worst ideal I've ever heard.Ĭome on, Just imagine going back to nature. You want some bad luck, I'll blab it out, But if you want to be safe, I'll keep my mouth shut.Ĭould you just tell us? I mean, really. Now that could have been interesting, although one imagines children being led weeping from the theater while Alex basks on a zebra-skin rug, employing a toothpick.No siree. How would Goofy feel if Pluto wanted to marry one of his daughters? There is a moment at which "Madagascar" seems poised on the brink of anarchy, as the law of the wild breaks down the detente of the zoo, and the animals revert to their underlying natures. This is the kind of anarchy that always lingers under the surface of animal cartoons. At one point, driven wild by hunger, Alex even tries to take a bite out of Marty's butt. "Which is you," Marty the Zebra is warned. Alex misses his daily stacks of sirloin and porterhouse. Then the intriguing problem of the human/animal divide comes into play. Some of the locals think maybe the New Yorkers are obnoxious tourists, even though Alex stages his zoo act, much in the same sense captured prisoners of war entertain the commandant. The local population, primarily a colony of lemurs, is ruled by King Julien ( Sacha Baron Cohen) and his right-paw-man Maurice (Cedric the Entertainer). ![]() They're back in the wild, all right, but without survival training. On the way, a mutiny by rebellious penguins leads to them being swept off the deck, and washed ashore in Madagascar. ![]() The animals are captured, crated up and shipped off aboard a cargo ship to a wild animal refuge in Africa. One night he escapes from the zoo, and his three friends catch up with him just as he's about to board a train for Connecticut, acting on bad advice from the giraffe, who has informed him that is where "the wild can be found." If Alex likes it in the zoo, Marty has wanderlust. His friends include Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer) and Gloria the Hippo ( Jada Pinkett Smith). Alex (voice by Ben Stiller) lives the good life in the zoo, dining on prime steaks every day, courtesy of his keepers.
