10 Movie References You Didn't Get As A Kid (But Do As An Adult)

There are countless animated films based around talking, anthropomorphic animals, with the likes of Sing, Zootopia, The Lion King, and many more being among the most popular. Arguably one of the most underrated, however, is 2005's Madagascar.

The story of the film revolves around Marty, Chris Rock's zebra, wanting to escape the confines of New York and head out into the wild. Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), who has the easiest life he could have possibly imagined, attempts to talk him out of it, but when the former tries to run free, both he and Alex - along with Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Melman (David Schwimmer) - end up washed up on a Madagascan beach.

As the lion starts to run after the zebra, the latter is of course terrified and where most adults would shout their profanity of choice, Marty went with a nice, clean "sugar honey iced tea".

Marty was never going to actually curse in front of a cinema full of children, but he was still able to get his point across.
