Memorable
Quotes
from the 2005
Madagascar Movie
As an adult, I love childrens movies because much
of the dialogue is really only understood by the adults...
I am never quite sure what the kids are laughing at when
a line is said by a cartoon character, but I do know the
adults got it by the sound of their laughter. I always
buy the video or DVD, watch it and then send it on to my
grandchildren. Check
them out here!
And,
of course...
The
Birthday Song
with a full chorus of Madagascar Characters
From the 2005 movie
