From DreamWorks Animation SKG comes the new computer-animated comedy “Madagascar,” starring the voices of Ben Stiller (“Meet the Fockers,” “Meet the Parents”), Chris Rock (“Chris Rock: Never Scared”), David Schwimmer (TV's “Friends”) and Jada Pinkett Smith (“Collateral”).
Alex the Lion (Stiller) is the king of the urban jungle as the main attraction at New York's Central Park Zoo.  He and his best friends Marty the Zebra (Rock), Melman the Giraffe (Schwimmer) and Gloria the Hippo (Pinkett Smith) have lived their entire lives in blissfully ignorant captivity, complete with lavish meals and their own park views.
Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty allows his curiosity to get the better of him and, with the help of some prodigious penguins, makes his escape to explore the world he's been missing, intending to return before morning.  In the middle of the night, Alex, Melman and Gloria discover their friend missing and decide the only course of action is to break out of the zoo and get Marty back home before anyone notices they're gone.
Even in New York City, a lion, giraffe and hippopotamus wandering the streets and riding the subway are bound to attract some attention.  Alex, Melman and Gloria manage to track Marty down in Grand Central Station, but before they can catch the train back to the zoo, they are darted, captured, crated and put on a ship to Africa.
