Madagascar
Movie • 2005 • Animation
ReportSynopsis
Alex the lion is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York’s Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends—Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo—have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public and with regular meals provided for them. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape—with the help of some prodigious penguins—to explore the world.

There is a scene where Alex the lion tries to eat his best friend, Marty the zebra. Upon being bitten, Marty says “You’re biting my b**t” And Alex responds “No I’m not.” Neither Marty nor anyone else believes this, and it doesn’t seem like a serious example, more of a joke

The main characters in this movie are animals and they go through a lot of slapstick violence.

During the "What a Wonderful World" scene, some animals die - most notably, a duckling is eaten by an alligator. It's played for laughs, but still.

A man is shown tied to a chair with rope and with a strip of duct tape over his mouth. Played for laughs rather than seriously because of the absurd nature of it being carried out by penguins

The morality of eating your friends is a major plot point.

No, but there's a passing reference when someone asks about inbreeding programmes, so be careful if you're sensitive to that
