MADAGASCAR (2005): The Things I Liked… 

Madagascar is an animated movie I remember enjoying a lot in 2005. 

The Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath-directed film about animals from New York Zoo that find themselves in the jungles of Madagascar has some very memorable characters.

Though the resourceful penguins are fantastic, King Julian has my heart, not just because of the words that come out of his mouth, but equally because of his glorious, joy-inducing dance moves.

Also, as I watched the movie, I suddenly found myself dreaming of a pet lemur. Nevertheless, I’m sure it’s best to get a King Julian plushie instead; ideally, one that’s motorised so he can dance to my heart’s content.

Have you seen Madagascar recently? It’s not a perfect movie, but it’s fun and stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett-Smith, David Schwimmer and Cedric The Entertainer. 

I say watch Madagascar and see how you smile!

Happy Film Loving,

  1. Nice! Madagascar is not a masterpiece and it’s not one of the best works of DreamWorks, but it is a great entertainment movie and it has some really funny scenes, not to talk about some great characters.

    1. All very great scenes. 😁 The sequel isn’t terrible, but I do prefer the original. It would be a whole different film without its scene-stealer, King Julian.

      One of my favourite bits of dialogue happens soon after King Julian and his Lemurs first meet the ‘New Yorkers’: 😁😁
      Maurice: ‘Oh, my. What big teeth you have. Man!’
      King Julian: ‘Shame on you Maurice, Can you not see that you’ve insulted the freak?’
