Movie (2005)

"It's All Some Type Of Whacked Out Conspiracy."

Zoo animals leave the comforts of man-made habitats for exotic adventure in this animated family film.

When their ship capsizes, stranding them on Madagascar, an island populated by crazy critters, the pals must adapt to jungle life and their new roles as wild animals.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): When Skipper asks the talking monkey if he can read, he says that he can't read but Phil can. Earlier on in the film, the talking monkey takes what appears to be a newspaper from a trash can and starts reading it. However, if you look at the newspaper, it is actually a comic.
When the camera pans backward from Alex's crate in the ocean, the sea foam around him creates the head of a lion. Foam makes the face, and the absence of foam around that makes the mane. Alex is in the left eye of the face.
The shot of Times Square after Marty asks the police horse for directions prominently features a Hewlett-Packard logo. Hewlett-Packard is the official computer provider for Dreamworks Animation.
During the scene where Private is attempting to gain access to the oil tanker controls, "WHATApiece OFworkIsPenGuin" can been seen on the computer screen behind him. This is a reference to the Shakespeare quote, "What a piece of work is man!" from "Hamlet".
