Happy 20th Anniversary, DreamWorks' "Madagascar" (1,400th blog is one that makes sense) · 1:09am May 28th
Original Release Date: May 27th, 2005
Yes that hurt to type. Yes it's true. And yes I am actually currently watching it. Blessings be it that I can watch one of the best DreamWorks movies from the latter half of the 2000s.
(Original Trailer)
Brief Synopsis: 4 pampered animals from New York's Central Park Zoo find themselves shipwrecked on the exotic island of Madagascar, and discover it really IS a jungle out there! Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith lead an all-star cast of hilarious animals, including four mischievous penguins and legions of lemurs. It's a film that you'll go wild for again and again! (Quoted from the DreamWorks official website)
I remember seeing this in theaters about 2 weeks after it came out (due to both me still being in school and in the middle of moving house). My auntie took me to see it and I remember proving to her that I could behave myself properly in the theaters (despite her comments otherwise), as I had gone without a family chaperone mere months prior (see my 20th anniversary of "The Polar Express" blog). I swear ya couldn't get me to shut up quoting that movie for weeks afterwards! All in good faith of course! Now naturally I suspect this be the time where I share clips. So be it:
(Let's be real, most ✨I C O N I C✨ scene in the movie)
I can hardly believe it's been 2 decades since this franchise began! As always, Cheers for 20 years!
Til next time,

Love this movie
