I am a kid at heart so this was an easy movie to enjoy. We are huge fans of the entire Madagascar series, so we could not wait for this movie preview! It delivered as promised, it was hysterical and completely enjoyable.
Oh yes, and we went with my blog wife, Linda of NYCSingleMom and her daughter, who is also my son”s classmate. You can see they were very prepared for this experience!
The Review:
Firstly, this is one of the only 3D movies I have been to that was worth the 3D experience. The opening scenes especially made great use of the 3D technology. That added to the enjoyment.
Chris Rock was as funny as ever in this movie. I love his sense of humor and it really shone.
King Julien is also one of my favorites, he did not have a huge role, but I do like to dance along with him. If there was a sound track that went along with the movie, I would buy it, I love the music they pick.
Spoiler alert – Martin Short stole the show, I cannot say anything more, this is just my opinion, but I stand firm.
My son’s review:
I did have one disappointment. We watch the Penguins of Madagascar TV show regularly, it is on our DVR. Only the Skipper from the TV show was in this movie. The voices of Kowalski and Private were not the voices from the TV show. They are the ones we know, I wish they could have been cast.
And I think the arc has come full circle. I do not think there will be another entry in this series, but it was great fun while it lasted, and we will continue to watch our penguin friends on TV.
Disclosure: We received free tickets to preview the movie. All opinions are always 100% our own and honest.
And here are 2 of our favorite voices from the movie!

I’m a Madagascar fan too. I’m so glad to hear you liked this movie. I can’t wait to see it with my grandchildren. Loved the video of your son.

The arc, it seems to me, has completed its circuit. Although survivor io I do not anticipate a continuation of this series, I can say that we enjoyed it immensely while it was on and will certainly keep watching shows starring our beloved penguins.
