Madagascar

Gatekeeper Strong in semis, fades in finals
2005 · Family, Animation, Adventure, Comedy · Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath

The 49% headline for Madagascar is unremarkable. The gap between its semifinal performance and its finals record is not — something changes when the bracket reaches the last round. Fun, frictionless, and entirely disposable — the kind of animated comedy that everyone has seen and almost no one would go to bat for. In brackets, it's a pleasant memory that folds the moment it faces anything with real weight. Voters take 4.4s on average — longer than most matchups on the platform. This isn't a film people dismiss or choose lightly.

Synopsis

Four animal friends get a taste of the wild life when they break out of captivity at the Central Park Zoo and wash ashore on the island of Madagascar.

The ceiling

Strong enough to reach the final at 60% in the semis, not strong enough to win it at 17%. The pattern is consistent enough across tournaments to define Madagascar.

The closest rivalry is with Kung Fu Panda at 53% — a matchup tight enough that a handful of votes could flip the lead. Toy Story at 25% is the toughest opponent in Madagascar's bracket life.
