| At New York's Central Park Zoo, a lion (Stiller), a zebra
(Rock), a giraffe (Schwimmer), and a hippo (Smith) are best friends and
stars of the show. This computer-animated comedy stars four civilized
Central Park Zoo animals who have spent their entire lives in blissful
captivity. But when they are unexpectedly shipped to Africa and get
shipwrecked on the exotic island of Madagascar, these native New Yorkers
must try to survive and come to terms with what it truly means to be 'wild'.
But when one of the animals goes missing from their cage, the other three
break free to look for him, only to find themselves reunited ... on a ship
en route to the island of Madagascar. When their vessel capsizes off the
coast, however, the friends, who have all been raised in captivity, learn
first-hand what life can be like in the wild. |
