Madagascar 2 Entertaining For All Ages

The animals are back - again!

Alex the lion, Melman the giraffe, Gloria the hippo, and Marty the zebra are all back again in “Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa” along with the penguins, and the lemur gang- King Julien, Maurice and Mort.

The movie starts with Alex as a child and follows his journey to the zoo in New York City. The rest of the introduction rehashes what happened in the first movie and ends with Alex, Melman, Gloria, and Marty along with King Julien and Maurice loading a plane, with the penguins acting as pilots, to return to New York City. But problems arise and the plane crashes on an animal reserve in Africa. With the plane in need of repair, the gang must learn how to survive in the wild.

Alex must prove himself to the lion pride in a battle. Melman has to find a way to stay alive without a doctor. Marty finds out that there are hundreds of zebras exactly like him and must find a way to be unique, and Gloria finds herself swept off her feet by a male hippo, “Moto-Moto.”
