Good movie but grossly overrated

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I remember seeing this in the theatres when I was 6 years old with a friend of mine from elementary school and loved it. Thirteen years later, I still love it and has become one of my favorite animated movies. Dream Works always does an awesome job on their movies although Disney is my "go to" for animation. Speaking of Disney, they released a similar film called The Wild I think two years after but I still think Madagascar is the best.

Family fun with some great characters and personalities.

Pretty bog standard Dreamworks 'kooky anthropomorphic animals have a wacky adventure' fare. The animation is mixed - some beautiful moments, but some rather basic looking character design. Good enough to get by, but doesn't win any prizes, especially watched now. The fast pace means one doesn't get bored, but it means the conflicts and adversities which are supposed to add depth to the plot are left at a rather playground level. The film depends on the reasonably slick interplay between the four main characters for its impetus, but it doesn't have much more than that going for it, other than an enjoyable cameo from Sacha Baron Cohen as King Julien. Probably one of those kids films which really is more for the kids. Overall, some memorable lines, a few smiles, but not much more than that. Not one you'd regret watching, but not worth a return visit.

I have great memories with Madagascar animation, which was the first film I watched the film , and whenever I see this movie, I 'm very happy and remember that day that will always be in my memory, since film voice work is very good, the characters are very charismatic , the idea of talking animals is not original , the more the plot of this movie is a little different from animations that have animals as the protagonist, the soundtrack is cool, the film has some boring moments , more most are fun and funny , the best moments of the film are more in half , Madagascar is a film that I will always have in my heart is great fun and has very funny moments .
