Madagascar Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
The tenor can be shrill, but there's no time to get bored. And on top of that, most of the gags actually work.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Like its jailbreak protagonists, the film grows more ambitious outside the confines of the zoo and truly takes off when the four best friends accidentally wash up on the shores of Madagascar.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It is winning; so much fun I can't wait to see Madagascar again. Heck, I might even go pick up a stuffed penguin.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Lacking any meat on its bones, ['Madagascar'] is a cartoon about nothing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It paints itself into a very bizarre corner because at first, they are all friends and then all of a sudden they revert to being more like real animals. How do you do that and make it funny? Well, you don't.
Premiere Magazine
Peter Debruge
It's a brisk and lively getaway with genuine personality.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Madagascar is great good fun, not only because the filmmakers have enlisted some wonderful voice talent but also because the visuals truly are marvelous.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
What makes it good is that the story is a kind of parable that suggests some seriousness beneath the surface, even sadness.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
The film ends with an obvious bid for a sequel, and why not? Madagascar and its charming critters deserve an encore.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
[It] looks stunning, but it's an ill-conceived mess that plays like two movies awkwardly spliced together.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Brilliantly written, animated and performed, it not only bridges the child-adult divide, but also makes its kid-friendly humor smart in its own way.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A safe-as-milk, toy-ready, born-to-cross-promote piece of animated Hollywood product that will likely please children but leave adults dreaming of The Incredibles.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Appropriate for the wee ones, this flick promises to please parents who will inevitably be in for repeat viewings.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
A delight. Co-writers and -directors McGrath and Eric Darnell, along with their entire team, have done a terrific job with their sweet and whimsical story.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Antic, cute, scattershot, it's a remarkable-looking but terribly uncertain bit of CGI fluff, with its richest humor off to the sides of the action and a whole lot of average in the middle.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Madagascar makes you long for a time when story was more important than cleverness; before having celebrities voicing the characters was a marketing requisite; before you needed to be thoroughly immersed in pop culture to get the gags.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Sputters to an end without building to any sort of satisfying conclusion.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It'll be fun for the smaller kids, but there's not much crossover appeal for their parents.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
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.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The animation is visually stunning, and the animals' stylized rendering and friendly look is in keeping with the energetic mood of the movie.
