Most of the older songs included on the soundtrack to this animated feature are so well-known that they border on well-worn (Vangelis' Chariots of Fire theme has to be one of the most reused pieces of 20th-century music ever) but their feel-good quotient is also hard to deny. (Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" again? Sure, bring it on!) Still, it's hard not to wish the brains behind this CD had included snippets from the movie, considering it features the vocal talents of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, and David Schwimmer. (One of the soundtrack's draws is a cover of Reel 2 Real's early `90s hit "I Like to Move It" by Sacha Baron Cohen (a.k.a. Ali G), who voices one of the characters. The track could well turn into the kind of kiddie hit inescapable at the coolest birthday party this year. The other big draw is "Best Friends," a catchy tune halfway between the Beach Boys and Belle & Sebastian that shows that composer Hans Zimmer can do lighthearted whimsy when needed. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

 I like to listen to it...so I can move it, move it! September 7, 2005

I got this CD for my birthday, and it was, like, one I had been wanting all summer. Main reason: "I like to move it, move it!". I *love* that thing. I like how the King Lemur talks over it. Especially when he starts telling the story of his life, mentions how he used to dance to the "Jungle Boggie", and then he starts singing "JUNGLE BOOGIE! JUNGLE BOOGIE!". Then he stops the singing, and I have to start it again. But all the stuff on here is great; the score by Hans Zimmer (first track most of all), "Chariots of Fire", "Stayin' Alive!", "What a Wonderful World", it's all great. It is kinda a short CD, I suppose that counts as a flaw. But that doesn't deduct any stars in my book.

My 7 year-old daughter loved the movie and truly loves the soundtrack, she can't get the songs out of her head. As a parent, I found the soundtrack enjoyable also, as it brought back memories of when I heard most of those songs for the first time in my youth. Great CD for road trips!!

This was a CD that I bought for my 4 year old son. He loved the movie and watching him dace to the music at the end of the DVD was a riot. So I got him the CD and I can watch him dance like a monkey and roar like a lion all over the house! I don't know which is more fun - watching him dance - or singing the words to "I Like To Move It". It was definitely well worth it.

I saw this movie and it's now my favorite! It was so cute! I especially like the Lemur King (King Julian). He was my favorite character. With him being my favorite character, my favorite scene is also the one with him singing the song Move It, Move It. I just love it! That's one of the reasons I want the soundtrack! I also love the other songs, though, not as much! So I rate it...5 STARS!!
