“Delightfully wacked... the movie is so in love with craziness, with the infantile fun of What Comes Next, that it scarcely has time to worry about whether its heroes are being redeemed or not. Grade: A-” “Madagascar is an antic little charmer, wasting no more or less time on repetitive pratfalls and unpoetic mushiness than any Disney film since 1948.” “Madagascar is a classical gas. It's a good-humored, pleasant confection that has all kinds of relaxed fun bringing computer-animated savvy to the old-fashioned world of Looney Tunes cartoons. Though things get a bit serious when Alex threatens to turn native, Madagascar keeps things loose and funny throughout. There are visual gags, musical jokes keyed to songs like "Stayin' Alive" and the "Hawaii Five-O" theme, and clever lines from screenwriters Mark Burton & Billy Frolick and Eric Darnell & Tom McGrath.”  “The funniest film since Shrek, Madagascar is a gas. Brilliantly written... Credit directors Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath and writers Mark Burton and Billy Frolick, who redeemPDI/DreamWorks after its dumbed-down hip-hop myopia in Shark Tale. Madagascar is an island filled with spirited comic kicks for the whole family.” http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/turan/cl-et-madagascar27may27,0,3894379.story
