AN: Denis Couchon; Paul Chung, Donnachada Daly, Trey Thomas. PD: Kendal Cronkhite-Shaindlin. AD: Shannon Jeffries. M: Hans Zimmer. ED: H. Lee Peterson. Finnish-language edition by Annamari Metsävainio/Tuotantotalo Werne: Petteri Summanen (Alex), Mikko Leppilampi (Marty), Laura Voutilainen (Gloria), Janne Reinikainen (Melman), Puntti Valtonen (Skipper), Antti Pääkkönen (King Julien). 87' Computer animation. A Buena Vista International Finland release spoken in Finnish viewed at Kinopalatsi 2, 10 Sep 2005. The cultivated animals from the Central Park Zoo, Manhattan, are dreaming of "going native", but the dream turns into a threatening reality as they are stranded into a real jungle in Madagascar. The side story is about four penguins who find Antarctica too cold for comfort. A funny and well-made film that would stand out even better if this were not the golden age of animation.
