MadaNASCAR (commonly misspelt as Madagascar) is an animated film and created by Peter "PartyNoob" Partyson and produced by NightmareWorks Animation released sometime in 2005. This film would later have two sequels, titled MadaNASCAR 2: Esc 2 Africa and MadaNASCAR 3: Europe's Most Won, and a spinoff, Penguins of MadaNASCAR, released respectively in 2008, 2012 and 2014. This film has also made an inspiration for NightmareWorks All-Star Kart Racing.
The film centers around a group of eight zoo animals - Alex, Marty, Gloria, Melman, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private who manage to win in a car race held in Number Island.
Synopsis[]
In a zoo in New York City, four animals - Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippopotamus and Melman the Giraffe hear a news from a group of penguins that a car race will be held in Number Island with a first prize of $42 million, and that the penguins are going to spend the money to escape back to Antarctica if they win. Therefore they all agree to go for the race in Number Island.
As the eight arrive in Number Island, they meet King Julien, the lemur host for the race. Alex is car number 4138, Marty is 34779, Gloria is 610714 and Melman is 331342 because of the traditions of Number Island. The penguins are an exceptional case - they are car number 1. For some reason all audience are fossas who rebel against King Julien and do not support any of the racers. Gloria then performs her Hippo Hop cool move which is so fucking funny it fucking makes the fucking fossas fucking merge without fucking looking. The abomination then becomes hunted by the FBI for the rest of the movie's B-plot.
At the start of the race, the penguin quartet takes the lead, but is later overtaken by Alex for a short period of time, then the penguins take the lead again until they were caught cheating by using a power-up (it's NOT Mario Mart, you know). Then Marty's car experiences oil spill and quickly runs out of fuel, Gloria's car's engines break down, Melman's car gets crashed into a sign and Alex's car is accidentally driven out of the race track. Due to these events all happening around the same time, this results in an all-way tie (minus the disqualified penguins) and no one becomes the champion. Therefore the first price goes to King Julien, who decides to hold a grand party with all other animals to sing "I Like To Move It" instead. The fossa abomination can be seen making it to the ocean and evolving into a fish.
Reception[]
Many movie reviewers on this film comment "This movie sucks", "I expected someone to win the tournament!!", and the like. Almost none of those are positive comments.
Trivia[]
- The film was originally going to be titled "Number Island", but was changed to "MadaNASCAR" since the latter title seems to be a better and funnier idea.
