MADAGASCAR (Theatrical Release USA 2005)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Madagascar—WOW! computer animated entertainment—has it all…terrific animation, great story, outstanding dialogue lines, characters one will not soon forget, and fabulous voicing. It serves as a solid gold rock in DreamWorks’ lineup of films and deserves a place in the family home entertainment library.  Fun watch.
