What is Madagascar about?
Four animal friends get a taste of the wild life when they break out of captivity at the Central Park Zoo and wash ashore on the island of Madagascar.
Madagascar is a 2005 American animated comedy film directed by Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath and written by Mark Burton, Billy Frolick, Darnell and McGrath. Produced by DreamWorks Animation and PDI/DreamWorks, the film stars the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith as a quartet of anthropomorphic animals from the Central Park Zoo who find themselves stranded on the island of Madagascar and must adjust to living in the wild. Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer, and Andy Richter also voice supporting roles. The film features a musical score by Hans Zimmer, and also features a cover version by Baron Cohen of "I Like to Move It" by Reel 2 Real, which has since become a recurring theme song throughout the franchise.
