MADAGASCAR 2005 ZEBRA MOVIE

After surveying it for a few moments, they decide that it is not as interesting as they thought it would be when Private says, “Well, this sucks.” Julien hopes that the lemurs’ new friends, whom he calls the “New York Giants”, will scare away the fossa, enemies of the lemurs who prey on them. Meanwhile, the penguins have arrived on the snowbound, windswept, inhospitable Antarctica. Thus, deciding to join the others and begin life in Madagascar. Gloria and Melman then decide to join Marty (who is living comfortably on his side of the island), and Alex soon realizes that he has been unfair and selfish to his friend. However, Melman inadvertently sets the whole statue on fire and destroys it (in a Planet of the Apes parody). His plan is to ignite the beacon, therefore, making it easy for a boat (which Alex believes is coming to rescue them) to see where they are. They are actually in the wild, on the island of Madagascar.Īlex blames Marty for deliberately ruining the group's lives at the zoo and divides the island between them, forcing Gloria and Melman to help him build a Statue of Liberty lookalike. But when they discover a large tribe of lemurs led by King Julien XIII (voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen), they realize they are not in the United States anymore. At first, Melman assumes they are in San Diego, California, and Alex is upset that he will be outshone by Shamu.

Gloria and Marty soon wash ashore on the same beach. All night he is alone, but in the morning, finds Melman stuck in his crate. Alex is soon washed ashore on a tropical beach. During the penguins’ takeover, the crates containing Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria fall overboard and they become separated on the ocean. The penguins succeed in taking over the ship and changing its course, following their initial plan of making their way to Antarctica. Because of this, all the animals soon find themselves in wooden crates aboard a cargo ship to Kenya. Anti-zoo campaigners use the incident as evidence that animals should not be locked up. Then they manage to wreck the information desk before being shot with tranquilizer darts, along with the penguins, Mason and Phil (two chimpanzees who also escaped). Arriving at Grand Central, they scare away most of the passengers (except for one determined old lady who assaults Alex by bashing his head and his groin with her handbag), and catch Marty. When the others find him gone, they head for Grand Central Station via the Subway to try to get him back. So one night, he sneaks out of the zoo and sets off on foot for Grand Central Terminal where he hopes to take the Metro-North Railroad to Connecticut. He has a vague notion that the wild can be found in Connecticut as Gloria told him that there were some wide open spaces resembling the wild. When he learns that the zoo’s penguins are planning to escape, he decides to follow suit and return by morning. But Marty, who is celebrating his tenth birthday, longs to see the rest of the world and dreams of life in the wild. Here they show off to the crowds and generally enjoy themselves.
