My children love Madagascar, especially my 2 year old...so we went and bought the Merry Madagascar DVD...it has positive messages about sharing and considering other people's feelings. I see nothing wrong with letting children of all ages watch this movie.
I LOVE this movie...It's something the whole family can watch every Christmas! Only a little bit of violence causing amnesia and during the beginning...Mort the Mouse Lemur passes out from too much sea water. I recommend this for kids ages 5+
