Merry Madagascar Script Work Guide

Early drafts of the Merry Madagascar script included a subplot about Santa’s elves going on strike. Reading the script lets you imagine these lost scenes.

The strongest element of the Merry Madagascar script is its adherence to established character archetypes while twisting them for holiday effect. The dialogue is tailored perfectly for the voice actors who originated the roles (Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, and Jada Pinkett Smith), but it is the antagonists-turned-allies, the Penguins, who steal the script’s best moments. merry madagascar script
