Madagascar runs wild in 2006
An animated comedy from summer 2005 was the top-selling DVD of 2006, according to year-end charts that will be published in this week's Billboard magazine. Madagascar, a zippy saga of sheltered Central Park Zoo animals who wind up in the wild, features the voices of Ben Stiller as a showboating lion, Chris Rock as the fun-loving zebra, David Schwimmer as a hypochondriac giraffe and Jada Pinkett Smith as a no-nonsense hippo. The video charts were compiled by computer from Billboard's weekly and biweekly charts during the eligibility period, which was Dec. 3, 2005, through Nov. 25, 2006. While family films dominated sales, movies for adults topped the rentals. The top rental for the period was Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie action romance.
