Review and Giveaway: Merry Madagascar Movie & Gift Pack

By

GIVEAWAY CLOSED

If you have kids in your house, I’m sure you’ve already heard of the “Madagascar” movie franchise.  Zoo animals~voiced by folks like Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Jada Pinkett Smith and Andy Richter~are lost in the wilds of Madagascar. Madcap adventures ensue that are equally entertaining for children and adults.

Well folks, there is a new Christmas movie out, “Merry Madagascar”!  I was sent a review copy of the show-unfortunately it arrived while I was away on my cruise/conference and so I only got to watch it this morning.

It was an interesting experience, I’ve never received a true press/media preview video before. It comes on a plain DVD and has your name embedded over the video throughout:

Notice my name across the top & the Do not duplicate on the bottom?

The movie is short, just 30 minutes long, and very entertaining.  The madcap crew of misplaced zoo animals mentioned above accidentally shoot down Santa’s sleigh. Santa has memory loss and just wants to hang out and party, the reindeer have an ongoing feud with the penguins, and the animals just want to get back to New York City.  The pace is quick, the moral lessons are good, and the humor is humorous to both children and adults.  My kiddos loved the film and are likely to watch it over and over again-even when it isn’t Christmas.

Oh, and did I mention the unrequited Romeo and Juliet style love affair between a penguin and a reindeer? Priceless!

Not only did I get to review the movie (which showed on NBC last night and  is available for purchase exclusively at Walmart starting today) but I also get to give away a nice Merry Madagascar gift pack!

Movie, toys & snacks? Awesome!

The prize pack includes

  • 2 Merry Madagascar Plush Toys (may vary from those pictured)

  • Merry Madagascar Throw
  • Snacks from Kellogg’s and Kraft

  3. I love the classic cartoon How The Grinch Stole Christmas!!! My girls are old enough to watch it this year! Very exciting!!

  10. The classics like Rudolph, Frosty, the Grinch, Miracle on 34th Street, and a Christmas Story are all good and must sees during the Christmas season. But, I really like the Hallmark Christmas movies – I cry every time!

  25. I hit enter too soon. My favorite holiday movie is the Peanut’s Christmas special.

    I am a subscriber.

  30. That was really interesting to see how they personalize the screener DVDs.

    My favorite holiday show is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer narrated by Burl Ives. I think it’s because I’ve watched it as far back as I can remember.

  31. I would have to say Charlie Brown Christmas specials. I have watched them every year since I was a kid.

  39. My favorite Christmas movie on television is “Nester the Long Eared Donkey” although I haven’t seen it since I was 12…and that was a LONG time ago! It made all of us kids cry while watching it; a very sweet little show. Thank you for having this giveaway!

  45. It simply isn’t Christmas without Charlie Brown, Rudolph and Frosty. I also love Jim Henson’s Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas!
