But when her estranged uncle comes home from an expedition to announce a mysterious discovery, she is thrust into a whirlwind adventure unlike any other. Along the way she comes across armored polar bears, northern lights, a city in the sky, and a magical dust that could explain and even change the meaning of the world as she knows it.

| Movie Reviews- Madagascar
I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT, I LIKE TO.....MOVE IT!! Thats just one of the very funny parts of this movie about a Lion, Alex (voiced by Ben Stiller), a Hippo, Gloria (voiced by Jada Pinkett Smith), a Zebra, Marty (voiced by Chris Rock), and a Giraffe, Melman (voiced by David Schwimmer) who are shiped off to a little island called Madagascar from their native home in New York Central Zoo. Although the plot isn't exactly brilliant, I stopped caring after about 5 seconds into the movie. This was a lot of un, and I'd definitely recommend it (even though I guess everyone will see it anyway). Don't fall off your chair now!: Here are some random hilarious things, from quotes to questions to bumper stickers! If these aren't enough hilarious things you can go to the best site for a laugh by clicking here Bumper Stickers Save the Earth, it's the only planet with Chocolate Funny Thoughts Why is it that if something says, "do not eat" on the packaging it becomes extra tempting to eat? Why are people so scared of mice, yet we all love Mickey Mouse? What happens if you put this side up face down while popping microwave popcorn? Comic: We are asking for content for the site again. If there is anyone interested in drawing a comic for the site simply draw it up, and e-mail it to smilingallaround@netscape.net or give it to Ms.Leong.
