The friendship between a New York City lion and zebra is tested when fate brings them out to the unforgiving wilderness in this computer-animated DreamWorks feature. Chris Rock does the voice of Marty the Zebra, whose longing to explore beyond his cushy Central Park Zoo boundaries is the impetus that ultimately strands him and his pals on the shores of savage Madagascar. Marty loves the new, edible scenery, but his best friend Alex (voiced by Ben Stiller) the Lion begins to starve since his diet of thick steaks has been cut off, and the rump of his friend starts to look mighty tasty. Their other friends, a hypochondriac giraffe (David Schwimmer) and a sassy hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith), try their best to think of a solution as the call of the wild slowly turns the starving Alex into Marty's worst nightmare. Meanwhile the hilariously self-aggrandizing King of the Ocelots (Sacha Cohen) has a plan to use Marty to repel their own carnivore problem. This kid-oriented comedy stays adult-friendly every step of th... Less

Professional Reviews   
  (06/03/2005, p.61-62, Owen Gleiberman): "[A] delightfully wacked new digitally animated comedy....Untamed fun." (05/01/1996, p.57-8, Nick James): "...[POWDER] achieves a rare, compelling strangeness....The constant, hypnotic low-key tension means that the few special effects showpieces are made all the more exhilarating..."

Over the Memorial Day weekend we decided to venture out to the movies to see the latest from Dreamworks, Madagascar. Surprisingly for an opening weekend of the movie and it being a holiday movie the theatre was only sparcely occupied - but perhaps that is because we picked a 6pm showing to attend...

The other day, while babysitting for my 3 year old grandson Alex, I decided to take a little trip with him to Madagascar when I found the DVD my daughter had just bought for the kids on top of their Television…What a great opportunity for a little down time to rest a bit I thought…Needless...

The word albinism refers to a group of conditions inherited at birth. People who have albinism have little or no pigmentation in their eyes, skin, or hair. This is because they have inherited genes that do not make the usual amounts of a pigment called melanin.

Pros A lesson in life
Cons The special effect could have used a little more skill
Recommended it? Yes

Funny how this happened. The day I grabbed "Powder" out of the shelf in Blockbusters, was the day that a TV station played it...and watching it twice was not a bad thing at all. Not at all.

Powder is another one of those movies that inspire people to do good at least for a day. It's a... Read full review »
