1. Madagascar 1 (2005)Watch Video
This is the story of four residents of the Central Park Zoo in New York City who also happen to be best friends: a lion (voice of Stiller), a zebra ( voice of Chri
s Rock), a giraffe (Schwimmer) and a pregnant hippo (Smith). When one of them goes missing, the other three break out of the zoo looking for him, and eventually all four are captured shipped back to the continent from which their species are originally from: Africa. An accident at sea, however, strands them on the shore of Madagascar. Having only known the luxuries of zoo life, the four know nothing of surviving in the wild. In exploring their surroundings, the four friends soon meet the Malagasy locals and their carnivorous enemies, the fousas. As the two sides try to use these four new, strange friends to their benefit, our heroes are also confronted with the reality of their predestined roles in nature.
2. Madagascar 2 (Escape from Africa 2008)Watch Video
All the loveable cha
racters are back -- Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo, King Julien, Maurice and the penguins. Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane - sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all - the vast plains of Africa itself -- where our zoo-raised crew encounters species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their roots, they quickly realize the differences between the concrete jungle and the heart of Africa. Despite long-lost relatives, romantic rivals and scheming hunters, Africa seems like a "crack-a-lackin" great place...but is it better than their Central Park home? And, as you know, especially if you sat through the first Madagascar with your kids.

In the world of t
he emperor penguin, a simple song can mean the difference between a lifetime of happiness and an eternity of loneliness. When a penguin named Mumble is born without the ability to sing the romantic song that will attract his soul mate, he'll have to resort to some fancy footwork by tap dancing his way into the heart of the one he loves. Happy Feet tells the tale of one penguin's quest for love, and features an all-star cast of vocal talent that includes Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman, Elijah Wood, Nicole Kidman, and Brittany Murphy.
4. Ice Age (2002)Watch Video
A team of "sub-zero heroes" band together to save a human infant in this
digitally animated feature from Oscar-winning director Chris Wedge, whose unique lighting software (called "Ray Tracing") sets his visual style apart from earlier CGI efforts. Twenty thousand years ago, the Earth is overrun by freezing temperatures in an Ice Age that is sending all manner of critters scattering in the path of encroaching glaciers. When a lost human infant is discovered, an unlikely quartet of misfits forms to return it to its mother: Manny, a depressed woolly mammoth Ray Romano; Sid, a fast-talking sloth John Leguizamo; an acorn-crazed squirrel named Scrat (Wedge); and the devilish saber-toothed tiger named Diego Denis Leary. Before they can complete their mission, the reluctant compatriots will brave pits of boiling lava, dangerous caverns of ice, and even a traitorous plot within their midst.
5. Ice Age 2 (The Meltdown)Watch Video
Those CGI prehistoric critters from Ice Age are back in this inevitable sequel where Global warming is causing a meltdown of the ice caps. It has nothing to do with greenhouse gases, though; this is happening thousands of years ago, and it’s putting the animals who live on the ice in peril. Manny
, a mammoth, Diego, a sabre-tooth tiger and Sid, a sloth, are among those attempting to escape from the floods. Manny, who thinks he’s the last surviving mammoth, is surprised to meet Ellie, a female mammoth who was raised by possums and thinks she IS a possum. The animals are threatened by the nasty creatures who inhabit the rising waters….Meanwhile, Scrat, a squirrel, continues his frustrated efforts to hang onto an acorn. Inevitably, the freshness of the original ICE AGE, which was released four years ago, is diminished in this sequel. Carlos Saldanha has replaced Chris Wedge as director, but the formula is much the same, though this time there aren’t any human characters in view. The funniest character is still the squirrel, the only character without a voice, whose antics are very much in the tradition of classic animated films. Actors Ray Romano, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo provide the voices for the three friends, and Ellie is given the distinctive tones of Queen Latifah. The film is distinguished by some fine animation but a routine storyline. Apart from the occasional delightful scene, like the one in which a flight of ominous vultures sing “Food Glorious Food”, ICE AGE 2 is rather ordinary.
