Still together, still lost.

Alex, Marty, and other zoo animals find a way to escape from Madagascar when the penguins reassemble a wrecked airplane. The precariously repaired craft stays airborne just long enough to make it to the African continent. There the New Yorkers encounter members of their own species for the first time. Africa proves to be a wild place, but Alex and company wonder if it is better than their Central Park home.

Madagascar 2

In ihrem neuen Abenteuer möchten Alex, Marty, Melman und Gloria die Insel Madagaskar, wo sie nach einer längeren Odyssee gestrandet waren, verlassen, und wieder zurück "nach Hause" in den Zoo im New Yorker Central Park. Die Pinguine machen ein altes Flugzeugwrack wieder flott und die Heimreise kann beginnen. Auch mit an Bord gehen die Schimpansen Mason und Phil sowie King Julien und sein Privatsekretär Maurice. Es glückt zwar der Start des mit Klebeband geflickten Flugzeugs, aber weiter als bis nach Afrika schaffen sie es nicht und landen mit einem harten Aufprall mitten in der Steppe. Alex und seine Freunde treffen diesmal nicht nur auf Artgenossen, sondern sogar auf die eigene Familie und geraten mitten in ein neues turbulent-witziges Abenteuer.

Madagascar 2
  • a.k.a. Madagascar 2 - La Grande Évasion

Après s’être échoué sur les rivages lointains de Madagascar, nos New‐yorkais ont concocté un plan dément – si dément qu’il pourrait bien réussir ! Avec une discipline quasi militaire, les pingouins ont rafistolé une épave d’avion, et au terme d’un vol chaotique à souhait, l’improbable équipage a pu rallier les vastes plaines d’Afrique. Les anciens pensionnaires du zoo de Central Park rencontrent alors pour la première fois leurs familles respectives dans leur habitat naturel. Une occasion unique de renouer avec ses racines, mais aussi de mesurer le gouffre qui sépare la nature de la civilisation, le « continent noir » de la « jungle de béton ». De nouvelles aventures, encore plus palpitantes, attendent nos amis sur la terre de leurs ancêtres, mais le souvenir de New York reste présent en chacun d’eux. N’est‐ce pas là que doit finalement se jouer leur avenir ?

Madagascar 2
  • a.k.a. Madagascar 2 - Via dall'isola
  • Madagascar 2

Ritroviamo Alex il leone, Marty la zebra, Gloria l'ippopotamo e Melman la giraffa alla deriva nelle remote spiagge del Madagascar, pronti ad imbarcarsi sull'aereo riparato dalla squadra di terribili pinguini per tornare a Central Park. Un atterraggio di fortuna, però, ben prima di arrivare nei cieli americani, li catapulta nel bel mezzo di una pianura africana, ai piedi del Kilimangiaro. Tutto appare come la realizzazione di un sogno: Alex ritrova la famiglia, Marty il branco che ha sempre desiderato, Gloria le attenzioni del prestante Moto Moto e Melman l'opportunità di mostrare un po' di eroismo. L'Africa è dunque meglio di New York City? Di certo non è meno avventurosa.
