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 blissful 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. Alex, Melman and Gloria are shocked to find their friend missing in the morning and break out of the zoo to go after him and get him back to the zoo before anyone figures out they're gone. But even in New York, a lion, giraffe and hippopotamus wandering the streets and riding the subway are bound to attract some attention. Alex, Melman and Gloria track Marty down in Grand Central Station, but before they catch the train home, they are darted, captured, crated and put on a ship to Africa by well-meaning humans who think they should be freed from the stress of New York life.

When those plotting penguins sabotage the ship, Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria find themselves washed ashore on the exotic island of Madagascar. Now, these native New Yorkers have to figure out how to survive in the wild and discover the true meaning of the phrase "It's a jungle out there."

"Madagascar" also features the voices of Sacha Baron Cohen (HBO's "Da Ali G Show"), Cedric the Entertainer ("Barbershop") and Andy Richter ("Elf").

The computer-animated comedy is being directed by Eric Darnell ("Antz") and Tom McGrath, making his directorial debut. Mireille Soria ("Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron") is producing, with Teresa Cheng co-producing. The screenplay was written by Mark Burton & Billy Frolick and Eric Darnell & Tom McGrath.

A PDI/DreamWorks Production for DreamWorks Animation SKG, "Madagascar" will be distributed by DreamWorks Distribution LLC.
