Madagascar - Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath

May 31st, 2005

A barrel of laughs. Its a lighthearted movie and a good one that never ceases to amuse children and adults alike. From the comforts of the city, Marty, the zebra, was yearning to do more worthwhile things than being stock in a zoo all his life when he celebrated his 10th birthday. He also pined of going back to the wild after being told by the psychotic (Alex the lion said that) penguins that its really a conspiracy and that they don’t belong there. Whether its choice or no choice at all, together with his friends, were placed in boxes and transported but along the way, something happened that they all wind up, except the penguins who plotted all this, in Madagascar.

Well, the lemurs were funny and Chris Rock as the voice of Marty was even funnier. I just had a great laugh when the penguins, who has been dreaming of enjoying Antarctica arrived there and found that it was just too frigid and no fun at all. In that scene, they were just standing and looking at nothing but white, ice and the raging winds. Well, not really for them that they decided to go back there way and drop by at Madagascar.

I like the movie. Its like leaving your comfort zone, discovering the world, finding new and great things. Breaking out from self imposed routines and living your dreams.

Its like what I want to do :-)
