This is taken from
Yahoo! Movies' website on Madagascar:
"This movie focuses on four residents and "stars" of the Central Park Zoo in New York City who are also best friends: a lion (Stiller), a zebra (Rock), a giraffe (Schwimmer) and a pregnant hippo (Smith).
When one of them goes missing, the other three break out of the zoo looking for him, and eventually all four are captured and put in boxes to ship them back to the continent their species are originally from: Africa. An accident at sea, however, strands them on the shore of Madagascar. Having had humans take care of them their entire life, the four know nothing of surviving in the wild, or that one of them, the lion, is genetically predisposed to eat his three best friends.
Exploring their surroundings, the four friends soon meet the Malagasy locals (a type of lemur given to having loud "rave-like" dance parties)
and their carnivorous enemies, the fousas. As the two sides try to use these four new, strange (and large) friends to their benefit, our heroes are also confronted with the reality of their predestined roles in nature."
It sure looks promising and if the trailers are anything to go by, there'll be lots of laughs guaranteed!!
Here are the stars of the show in a group shot, and they're saying...
"WHAT THE HELL!!! All our efforts... and you're not coming to watch us
"
Well, Madagascar is slated for release in the US only in late May. So I guess there's a lot of waiting to do in the meantime!
