Madagascar Movie Reviews 🦁

[@PixelaGames2000]

Madagascar is that one dreamworks franchise that I love, but I forget about it sometimes. Except for the penguins, I will never forget the penguins…because I love the penguins.

[@jayneooi95]

sad she didn't do penguin of madagascar

[@SenFandomsProductions]

[@0quamarin3]

I have to remember it was made by dreamworks and not some random animation company

[@ibeom_u]

The penguins movie was my favorite

RAAAAHHHHHH THEORIZER MENTION 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

As someone in New York, Madagascar really did capture the awe of walking into Grand Central Terminal. With the huge arched windows and the incredible constellations on the ceiling, the main concourse is absolutely breathtaking. The mural etched on the ceiling of Grand Central is supposed to be a zodiac star map from March through October. Around the constellations, dozens of tiny electrical lights were installed to add more oomph to the painted stars, at the insistence of artist Paul César Helleu in 1913. However they realized the constellations were backwards. Even though all the constellations are now where they should be, Orion is reversed! Although he’s placed in the correct location, the constellation itself is backwards! Here's some interesting facts about the creatures Madagascar showcased: In ring-tailed lemur groups, and in most lemur species, females are in charge. Female lemurs get preferential treatment, like the best food and sleeping spots. So in real-life, it would be Queen Juliette! Maurice is an aye-aye, and they are known for having an unusual way of finding food by tapping on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood using its forward-slanting incisors to create a small hole into which it inserts its narrow middle finger to pull the grubs out. This foraging method is called percussive foraging, and the only other creature to do this are the striped possum and trioks of northern Australia and New Guinea.

1:02 It has the same energy as when Tigger says "Gasp!" instead of gasping, or when the villain of the 2011 Muppet movie says "Maniacal laugh!" because he's physically incapable of laughing, even maniacally.

My favorite fact about this series is that Mort is canonically a god. If you know- you know ;)

Mort in All Hail King Julien was f*cking unhinged.

Unpopular opinion, but the third one was my favorite! I LOVED the circus cast, the Fireworks scene is still iconic to this DAY

[@RaiderGamerSpice]

11:56 How nice of Astrid to support her fellow DreamWorks heroes by watching their movies multiple times 😂

[@Ziffelzoovop]

The reminder that "Afro Circus" exists hit me like a brick wall coming out of orbit

[@iAMwhatIamK]

I’m genuinely surprised no one mentioned the part where a child ends up stuck in an elephant’s rear in the third film. It’s been years since I’ve seen that film, and it regularly sneaks into my mind to scare me. I also have vivid memories of my siblings and I replaying the credits just to listen to Move it over and over again, dancing around like the inflatable tube men at car dealerships. Also, the super stereotyped American was amazing and no one can tell me otherwise.

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

Man, it’s pretty bad when the horrid smell would be the *least* of that kid’s worries.

[@Mx.muffin]

That review about seeing the 3rd movie when you were a child and not understanding anything but enjoying it is so real. I apparently loved this movie so much when I was younger, that I sat still the entire time. And when you put in the fact that I was a very mobile child, that shocked my parents. I also sang the "I like to move it" song while in the theater.

[@thisurldoesnotexist]

I actually loved Madagascar 3 I watched it when it came.out and then immediately watched it again with the audio commentary that came with the DVD

[@matheussanthiago9685]

I kinda miss DVDs man ngl

[@SirExal]

Madagascar 3 came out the same summer as 80's jukebox musical Rock of Ages, and Madagascar 3, somehow, uses Journey's Any Way You Want It more effectively.

[@daynamorris2399]

What do I do with this information? The Rock of Ages part, not the music part

[@sS0O0L]

6:36 out of context, i love this one second of Alex checking out Marty's ass, smiling and then going back to the conversation.

[@re1ribution]

he was making sure he was talking to the real one since earlier he confused him w another one

[@MariaGreenwoodArt]

GIVE HER THE SCARF BACK JAKE /j

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Mort is love, Mort is life. Mort is a mouse lemur, and they have the smallest known brain of any primate, at just 0.004 pound or 2 grams! Besides the fossa and lemurs, another interesting creature in Madagascar are mantellas, Madagascar's answer to poison dart frogs. And yup, millions live on Madagascar with a wide array of faiths and customs. The Malagasy are descendants of settlers from Borneo and East Africa and draw their cultural heritage from Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and the Middle East. Around 20 ethnic groups coexist on the island. Their common language, also called Malagasy, is most closely related to a language spoken in southeast Borneo. A majority of the population depends on subsistence farming. Not only are the Madagascar movies hilarious, but because of the Madagascar franchise, many people have learned about the unique wildlife and habitats Madagascar has to offer, and thus has helped push the conservation of these wonderful creatures and protect the island's biodiversity. About 90% of Madagascar’s plants and animals live nowhere else, and habitat loss in Madagascar is a huge issue.

[@stripeproductionsofficialreal]

0:44 This right here sums up about 90% of what happens in zoo management games like Zoo Tycoon or Planet Zoo.

[@normalhuman9878]

I actually had a dream last night that followed the plot of the Penguins of Madagascar movie. I have not watched that movie in years so I can only assume that I sensed this video was coming

[@mc.gemstone]

Call that a future vision, but in your dreams.

[@Rae0814]

These movies and the subsequent tv series were a fever dream, but they were so fun to me.

[@dragonalpaca3530]

I did a madagscar movie marathon a couple of months ago for the nostalgia and I found that they were all much less hinged than I had thought when I was a child

[@snowsleaves]

Yeah so about the Mort thing, someone here on KZbin made a 3 hour deep dive into his crimes. They watched all of the movies as well as 7 seasons of a prequel centered around King Julian. Highly recommend, it's a wild ride - channel is The Theorizer.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

All Hail King Julien has 6 seasons. I should know… I’ve seen the show in it’s entirety.

[@snowsleaves]

@@ShockwaveFPSStudios Oops my bad, I got the season count mixed up with the number of Buffy seasons. Let the record show that I over counted by one season!

[@jestypop8698]

good to know that one dreamworks franchise that takes unhinged to 5 different levels that were probably better left untouched also has review that can match and surpass that level of insanity

[@Tabi-Kun]

1:05 to be fair, we hear them speaking but the movie does show us that humans in the movie only hear roars and growls so to the humans in universe, they hear him roaring

9:16. I mean, Alex could just be bi? That makes sense to me, he feels like someone who's very open romantically.

[@IndriidaeNT]

I love how Gloria, despite her sometimes strict and short-tempered personality, cares deeply for others and can be overprotective towards her friends as well as Melman. I also like how she can easily forgive others like how she managed to forgive Alex for going to far with tirading Marty for their predicament (Being standreded on Madagascar plus snapping via his argument with Marty the chains keeping their crates together which caused them to fall off the cargo ship and become stranded on the island.) despite the fact that the zebra wasn’t entirely to blame for the incident as the other Zoosters and Penguins sorta were to blame for it too and manage to forgive (Semi-relcuantly though, as when the penguins first arrive on Madagascar Gloria becomes tempted with wanting to throttle them and angrily tirade them for starting the film’s whole conflict by putting the idea in Marty’s head that promoted him to run away in the first place and set off the chain of events that lead to them becoming stranded on the island and Alex’s savageness (While also guessing that they took over the boat and defeated its humans who she hoped would help them capture Alex and satisfy his hunger and end his savageness.) but knowing it would be unwise and unfair for her to do so asks the penguins in a sad worried voice instead where the cargo ship’s humans are and Skipper replies by saying, “We killed them and ate their livers” leaving Gloria and Melman horrified believing the Penguins turned savage themselves before Skipper confirms that he was only joking and he and Rico, Kowsalki and Private in reality put the humans all on a lifeboat safely bond for China.) the Penguins for starting the whole incident by putting the idea in Marty’s head of running away to the wild which set off the chain of events that lead to them becoming stranded on the island and Alex’s savageness and the Penguins redeem themselves for it at the end by feeding Alex sushi as substitute for stake which satisfy his hunger and makes him savage no more.

[@jellyfishsandwich5295]

So when I was ten years old, my parents said we couldn't watch All Hail King Julien anymore because they thought that Mort was gay. This is one of the foundational events of my childhood and eventual gay awakening. Never once had I considered that Alex is the gayest character in the franchise.

[@amandalynn4979]

Considering that Mort canonically had 13 marriages, I'd say he's more bi with a preference for women and the one guy (Julian) (God why am I even typing this-)

If anything, Karl was the gay character from that show. Dude had it really bad for King Julien.

That second to last review was SO REAL DUDE!! 😂 Also, I am SO SAD you didn't read Penguins of Madagascar reviews. I've probably seen that movie more times than I've seen the first three movies combined. Also, a little off-topic, but the trailer for Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (one of my favorite movies of all time at the moment) always played before the movie actually started, so I've seen that trailer a MILLION times and I don't regret it. I get nostalgia every time I hear specific characters say specific lines in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb because of how many times I've seen the trailer and I love it 🤣

I feel like Madagascar is to Dreamworks what Cars is to Pixar, two film franchises that people either like, dislike, like but has problems with, or dislike but has a soft spot for Except sadly one has a better reputation/following than the other (I love Cars and I'm tired seeing people dunking on it as an easy punchline)
