Madagascar: A Little Wild

DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar: A Little Wild follows the early years of the Madagascar movie franchise’s heroes – Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo – as they grow up in a rescue habitat at the Central Park Zoo. 

Common Sense Media recommends the series for ages 5+, saying, “Like its parent movies, Madagascar: A Little Wild focuses on friendship as well as adventure… with consistent, positive messages about being yourself, not giving up, and being willing to pursue your dreams. The upbeat musical numbers are fun, too.”

Eric Petersen was nominated for a 2021 Emmy for his voice performance as Ant’ney.
