Madagascar

I believe the list of 'things every CG film must have' is as follows...

- a song that every child can sing ad nauseum OR one that will win you a Grammy
- oodles of references to pop culture that even a five-year old can spot instantly (and maybe a few tossed in for the adults)
- jokes and situations that are inappropriate for children but are constructed in such a way as to be beyond their grasp
- lots of people / animals / aliens / getting hit on the head or in the genitals

Madagascar is no different.

There isn't much acting happening in this film, but it is good to see David Schwimmer working again.

Madagascar points for being adventerous with character design.

Really... that's about it. This is just another in a long line of CG kid's films.

The Incredibles is still undefeated.
