Zoo crew renewed
Not only is he the talented voice of many animated film characters, Tom McGrath is also the co-director of the hit animated film “Madagascar” and the new upcoming sequel “Madagascar 2 Escape to Africa”. Although the film has not yet been released, there has been plenty of chatter and anticipation inspiring the film and it’s main characters, such as; Alex the lion played by (Ben Stiller), Gloria the sassy hippo as (Jada Pickett Smith), and Marty the zebra (Chris Rock.) What many do not know, is the co-director is also the voice of courageous penguin general, “Skipper”. Skipper’s character is the leader of the pack along with other penguin pals, skippers job is to bark orders and come up with outlandish plans. McGrath’s’ personality isn’t by any means applicable to his character which sparks a certain interest in the roll. When asked how he felt about being the voice for the penguin skipper, Tom said “I enjoy being the comic relief.” When

interviewing great talent, it’s easy to get tongue tied or become absent minded; however, when speaking with McGrath the exact opposite effect took place. His personality was surprisingly upbeat and very inviting, I found it easy to ask questions and carry out an interesting yet intriguing conversation with him. Questions came naturally and McGrath was extremely open when answering. He even gave away some surprise details about the story line including; Marty the zebra’s identity crisis and if you think that’s weird there is a continuing love story involving hippo and giraffe (Melvin & Gloria). Unlike most sequels, Madagascar 2’s story line developed during production of the first film, and was made the following summer. Another fun fact, is that the entire
cast went to Africa in order to make the film. McGrath said “The beauty of Africa was inspiration enough to shoot the entire film.” The film premiered Sunday, October 26th in Westwood Los Angeles, McGrath said just like the first film he was ecstatic for the premiere he said above all his favorite part about being the voice of the film character in a film is “watching the audience react.” McGrath also exclaimed that he was cast as some of the other small roles such as one of the lemurs and

a spider who is another favorite character. It’s easy to see why this film is so talked about, with its cleverly witty story line and talented characters. The film is scheduled to hit theatres November 7, 2008. Playing Imax in select theatres the film also is rumored a Midnight opening at Jordan Landing and Century 16. For more interesting interviews and movie reviews continue to read each issue of the Tri Colored Times.
