WE LOVE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT!
In the summer of 2005, Madagascar scored big with both domestic and
international audiences, racking up more than half-a-billion at the worldwide box office,
making it the top family comedy of the year. Once the fancy-footed lion, a quick talking
zebra, an anxiety-ridden giraffe and a smart n saucy hippo were released into theaters
around the globe, these four New York friends
—better known as Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria—became the most popular quartet of the season. Writer/director Eric Darnell remembers being relieved by the reception of Madagascar, but not really that surprised. He says, Madagascar was a success because it had these entertaining and enjoyable ch

story about these zoo animals, when their bonds were tested once they got into Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa Production Information 3 the wild. Even at the time we ended the first movie—before it became this huge hit—we were thinking that we could do so much more with these characters. Producer Mi
reille Soria also reasons, There is something about the design that people love. And I think thats part of it—theyre very graphic—along with being smart and funny. The first movie was about the importance of friendship and what it means to be a good friend. One of the things that is so great abo
ut New York is its diversity, and that is reflected in our group—a lion, a giraffe, a zebra and a hippo who are best friends. And that was something we thought we could explore even further. And we could also celebrate that. will.i.am comments, Madagascar is one of our favorite movies. I think Iv
