The Birthday

Madagascar is a 2005 American animated survival comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and PDI/DreamWorks, and distributed by DreamWorks Pictures. It was directed by Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath, who co-wrote the script with Mark Burton and Billy Frolick, and stars Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith as a quartet of animals from the Central Park Zoo who find themselves stranded on the island of Madagascar and must adjust to living in the wild. The film features a musical score by Hans Zimmer. It also features a cover version of "I Like to Move It" by Sacha Baron Cohen, which has since become a recurring theme song throughout the franchise.
