"Still together. Still lost!"

Boxlist takeWholesome and light: a very fast animated family film, heightened rather than true to life. Best if you like escapism over depth.

Synopsis

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.
