I wanna Move It Move It!

I was watching the movie "madegasker" last night.... Awesome is the word.

The characterisation, the animation, the script, the humour, the music n most importantly the story line were just right! Neither too much nor too less...

The movie revolves around 4 friends in the Zoo in the new york city... A lion (Alex), A zebra ( Marty), A hippo ( Gloria) n A giraffe ( Melman ).

What does the Zoo provide them?
1. Food (The best there is)
2. Water (Unlike our good ol' chennai. they dont seem to have a problem anyway)
3. Shelter (Intact with heaters n treadmills n well... cages!)
4. LIME LIGHT (The human factor that makes most of us tick)

Everyone except Marty loves the zoo for the stability that it provides n have no clues what they really are meant for. Alex roars on the Podium, Marty runs around with all his stunts, Gloria swims beautifully n Melman... well.. he is just a health freak! They do all this primarily to entertain the kids around!

But as the story goes, as per Marty's wish, they do end up in the wild one day... Marty, Gloria n Melman being herbivorous cope up with the shelter n the leaves n sea weeds that the island has to provide... Alex on the other hand, being a predator, wants steak... n the best part is, he doesnt realise that Marty, his best friend, is actually his steak!

The part in the wild life is what i really liked bcoz, the animals come to realise what they really are meant for n what they r in reality!

After a point, the human element sets in again, where Alex is guilty trying to make Marty edible! But Marty still goes to him n revives the friendship...

They live happily ever after (in the island) is all the story is about!

Finally a mix of reality (if u care to notice it) n real-illadhe-ty!

Not to forget the "Cute n cuddly" Penguins n the squirrels! was rolling on the floor laughing!

A movie that shld be watched atleast once!
