Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa

November 26, 2008

he loveable characters are back - Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the hippo, King Julien, Maurice and the penguins - in “Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa.”

Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane - sort of.

Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all – the vast plains of Africa itself - where our zoo-raised crew encounters species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their roots, they quickly realize the differences between the concrete jungle and the heart of Africa.

Despite long-lost relatives, romantic rivals and scheming hunters, Africa seems like a “crack-a-lackin” great place… but is it better than their Central Park home?

	Alex is an african lion. Alex was the main attraction of the Central Park Zoo, and best friends with Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, and Gloria the Hippopotamus, all of which lived comfortably in a life of star treatment.
	Gloria is a hippopotamus with dark brown eyes and medium Brown skin. Gloria resided in the Central Park Zoo as an attraction, all the while being good friends with Alex, Marty, and Melman. Gloria, of the four, was the most fat and calm. As a hippopotamus, Gloria had a passive nature when it came to most problems, and served as the voice of reason for her friends.
	Marty is a zebra with a black with white striped fur. In the beginning, Marty lived a life of comfort in the zoo, but comfort led to boredom and Marty soon saw that his tenth birthday came and went and with that, his life was halfway in. [Marty] decided, then, that he must travel to the wild, for at least a short time, never having seen the wild.
	Melman]Mankiewicz III is a giraffe with hazel eyes and a canary yellow with dark brown spots fur. Melman is a fictional half-anthropomorphic giraffe. He is somewhat of a hypochondriac, having doses of medicine for meals and doctor's appointments frequently. He even complains about having spots on his neck. In the Central Park Zoo, Melman received treatment, and was so used to his cushy life taking pills and undergoing treatments.
