cartoon show----Madagascar

Still remember them?

    Alex the energatic lion , Marty the talkaive Zebra, Melman the stupid Giraffe, and Gloria the smart Hippo. They were the popular animal in the New York Zoo.Marty was always pictured himself running in the big glassland freely as he looked at the wall painting in the Zoo. One day, he decideed to escape from the Zoo to Africa . His friends Alex, Melman and Gloria followed him. On the way, they met different intresting animals and made lot of joke out of it. Madagascar totally have 3 sequels. The second sequel--Madagascar2 actually awarded The favourite Animated Movie in 2009 Kids' Choice Award.

    Alex was the lion star in the New York Zoo. His was really good at dancing in front of the tourists, and he enjoy the applause from the people. When he went back to Africa, he met his real parent which they lost him when he was a baby. However, he didn't fit in the group of other lion.

His dad wanted him to join a grown up ceremony which have to "battle" with other lions. Alex was failed in the test because he thought "battle" mean dancing battle instead of real fighting battle. His professional dance move that he had been proud of became a shame in his family. However at the end of the story,Alex saved his population  and other animals by his dance move. It is because people reconlize he was the lion star Alex from the New York Zoo by his professional dance move, so they stoped attacking them.As a result the hold population remained save. This movie related to topic such as self-confident, friendships and enviroment.

    First, I think this story was trying to tell people to be who they are. Referring to lion Alex, he is a lion but he can't fight. However, he can do brilliant dance move. We don't have to feel ashame about what we can't do, however, we should appericate what we can do. Just like Alex saved the animals by his dancing talent , our advantage will be useful at some point in our life.

   Second, the other thing the story were talking about was friendship. Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria have been good friends for long time. When Marty tried to escepe form the Zoo, his friends went to find him. More example, when Marty go back to his Zebra population, Alex was confused about who was Marty since every Zebra look excatly the same. Marty was really mad about it. However, event Alex couldn't figure out who was Marty, but Marty still help Alex at the important moment. It was talking about forgiveness in a friendship. It was really touching that Alex finally figure out Marty from the crowd, because they were real friends, so he can tell Marty's patten was different from the others.

It showed how a real friendship suppost to be, helping each other, forgiving each other and reconlizing the characteristic in each other.

     Finally, It also talk about the enviroment. People hunting animal for fun, for food or for money and regradless of animal life. Many wild animal are living a hard time because of people over developed.

In the story, the New Yorker was lost in the Africa's jungle, so they built up a water dam to keep the water in supply, it stoped the water to the rivier, as a result the animal suffered in a drought.

In the real world, people polluted our water and air, they event cleared up the forests. Millions animals died for it. This movie remind us to think about our enviroment first before we do something.

    I am not usually a cartoon fan, but this cartoon was super funny and touching. I love Madagascar !!
