All 50 DreamWorks Animation Movies, Ranked
Like onions, these films have layers.
Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), and Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith) end up buying and successfully running a traveling circus in Madagascar ’s third entry, an escalation that obliterates whatever thin sense of internal logic these movies had to start with. A cult classic that holds a high place in many millennial viewers’ hearts, The Road to El Dorado is truthfully flawed, with a somewhat muddled story and fairly racist elements that make it harder to point to as an example of what we lost when DreamWorks moved away from traditional, Disney-coded 2-D animation in favor of reference-heavy CGI. On occasion, The First Epic Movie, which combines aspects of the first three Captain Underpants books as elementary schoolers George and Harold (Kevin Hart and Thomas Middleditch) accidentally hypnotize their grumpy principal into thinking he’s the briefs-clad superhero from the comics they write, occasionally verges on being a bit too proud of its own cleverness.
