Okay, Madagascar was NOT the holy grail of animated comedies, and was NOT as bad as some people make it out to be. Personally, I thought the movie was kind of annoying, but maybe I’m just not being philisophical enough. However, this trailer looks like crap. Kind of sad whenever they are supposed to put some of the best parts of the movie in the trailer.

PAY ATTENTION!!!!!

I REALLY enjoyed number one, shame on you people who don’t like Madargascar - SHUT UP YOUR SO ANNOYING!

I CAN’T WAIT to see number 2!!!! It is one of my favourite animation films that I could see over and over again and not get bord. I simply love all the characters in the film and found each moment halarious,especially the cute baby Lemur (or squirrel)
I rate MADARGASCAR 5 STAR!

^madagascarWasGenius, you are so right and I’m so glad to hear that I’m not the only one to know…. :-D
I’m a huge fan myself and been declared nuts several times by friends. it’s difficult to get people to watch the movie and to like it aswell. l guess it’s because they expect to be plainly entertained and not challenged at all and therefore miss the witty humour all together.
I loved the way l felt respected by the makers of madagascar as a consumer, mainly by their attention to the detail. the story is being told in every corner of the screen, not just in the flickery center.
l was so taken with the rousseau-style jungle and also love the whacky loony style they tried to work into the characters. it’s so much nicer to watch an animated movie where the characters are not doomed to be super cute. that’s just like chewing cane sugar. besides, at last a movie that didn’t overemphazise meanings-deprived common sense morales. a real breather.
nevertheless I’m super nervous on what they did in the 2nd one (I stopped believing in trailers) and am preparing for disappointment. but hope dies last!

^MadagascarWasGenius I totally agree with you. This movie has lot of slapstick comedy, and I doubt many of the kids who are watching this get it.

I think it’s because it makes a lot of jokes about the lifestyle we have in america that no one gets it. What the first movie says is that american lifestyle is kinda like living in a virtual world that we created to best suit us, kind like the zoo’s for animals, totally different from the wild or the real world (similar message as matrix, and what marty the zebra says).

I agree it is hard to understand for people who’s been living in a consumer world filled with ads and who are totally surrounded by tons of media since the day they were born (ex. alex the lion). You have to go to a place where there is no tv, computers, news, etc, aka the wild, to be able to be able to get a sense of what this movie’s message is, but sadly almost no such place exists in the world anymore since everyone is getting westernized.

I’ve never really been able to convince most people to watch Madagascar with me either - all the posted complaints are common. Nobody seems to realize:

- The animation hasn’t “advanced” because nothing in the movie was ever supposed to pass for real. The design is meant to evoke the feeling of the original Looney Toones cartoons. This is like complaining that Bugs Bunny still looked 2D after three cartoons.

- Ironically, the Penguins ARE THERE FOR THE KIDS. They are the slapstick relief, not the other way around. The penguins get one-liners and visual humour; the lion writes his own epitaph on a beach while the tide comes in. You don’t get the second joke? The vast majority of the jokes in the script are adult-oriented. Nobody under twenty would likely have gotten the majority of the references. Almost every person here cites the penguins as the saving comedic grace. Such a shame.

- While I never cared for the “Move It” routine, it was an arbitrary song - it could have been any retro trite cheesesong and it would have fit the required joke. If you don’t like the song, then plug your ears for the entire three minutes it’s in the film. Seriously, your entire problem is built on three minutes from the movie.

- The opinions of people who say things “make me want to cut myself” are generally dead-on and never skewed, in my experience. Where’s the sarcasm font on this thing?

- That they’re animals who speak is not the joke. It’s not even part of the…anything. I can’t even understand why someone would assume that the “talking animals” is actually supposed to be funny in itself…oh right, there still exist pompous elitist artists, right?

- One of the best nonlinear jokes I’ve ever seen in a movie is contained in Madagascar - when the zebra’s bamboo tiki hut door, isolated by itself with no wall, on a beach, inexplicably has a steel latch & clasp lock on it. And “Well, of course we’re going to fling poo at him” is Monty Pythonian in brilliance.

- Or maybe it’s just because I watch it stoned. Seriously - lighten up people.

Yes it’s a bit irritating, more of the same.. but it is a kids film, there is a little bit of stuff in there to keep the adults entertained (Penguins) but when you take your kids to the cinema to see a kids film you don’t expect a lot for yourself.. for adults.. (Appologies if any of you slating this/animated *kids* films are actually 8 years old)

should have just built the movie around the penguins. Every other character sucks.

Get it? It’s so funny because they’re talking animals and they’re singing! Absurd! Remember that song from the first one? God I’m glad they’re reusing that joke(???) because we really didn’t get enough of “move it” last time.
