Plot summary
In Kenya the alpha lion Zuba wants to teach his cub Alakay to fight, but the young lion would rather dance, and the rival lion Makunga makes a bid to replace Zuba as alpha. Poachers seize the cub, and his crate drifts across the ocean to New York, where he grows up as Alex at the Central Park Zoo. Years later Alex and his friends Marty, Melman and Gloria depart Madagascar aboard a battered plane the penguins have rebuilt, carrying King Julien, Maurice and Mort. The craft runs out of fuel and comes down on an African nature reserve. Alex is reunited with his parents, Marty joins a herd of zebras, the giraffes appoint Melman their witch doctor, and Gloria catches the eye of a hippo named Moto Moto.
