What's The Story

The famous animated foursome -- Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippo -- are back in this spectacular sequel to 2005's top family comedy. The penguins attempt to fly all the zoo animals back to New York, along with a few of their favorite pals from Madagascar, but everyone crash-lands in Africa instead. As they meet wild animals of their own kind, each of our four heroes is faced with an identity crisis... none more so than Alex, who is reunited with his parents!

Three Good Reasons

  • 1Your favorite characters are back in an amazing new setting! The filmmakers took research trips to Africa and created all-new animation software to bring the magical landscape to vivid and stylish life.
  • 2Bernie Mac may be gone, but his unforgettable voice lives on in the role of Zuba, Alex's father... the king of the pride!
  • 3Gloria the hippo is ready for romance... but will she choose the sexy ladies' hippo Moto Moto, or a longtime friend with a secret crush? "Move it move it" to the theater and find out.

Bet You Didn't Know

Justin Timberlake and will.i.am like to leave each other answering machine messages in goofy voices. Timberlake enthused about will.i.am's voices to Jeffrey Katzenberg, and this ultimately landed the rapper the role of Moto Moto, the colossal Casanova.
