Chekhov's Gun: "When we need water, we build a dam!"

The diamonds and gold found in the second movie become more useful in the third movie. "Trapeze Americano". | |

Artifact Title: The second film starts in Madagascar, and has nothing else to do with it, being set in Africa instead. The third film has nothing to do with Madagascar, revolving around a touring circus that goes everywhere besides it, except that at the end of the film, Captain Chantel, along with three officers, are sent to Madagascar. Ditto for the spinoff movie and TV series (yes, we mean the television series, not the Netflix one), with the penguins traveling around the world to stop Dave in the former and the latter exclusively being set in Central Park Zoo. | |

Out of Focus: Melman and Gloria have a substantial amount of lines and screen time in the third film, but the story mostly focuses on Alex and the circus folk, with the Penguins, Julien, and the police having their own subplots. Marty also suffers from this a little, but he fares better than Melman and Gloria. | |

Disney Acid Sequence | |
| Madagascar (Franchise) / int_43d612b7 | comment |
Disney Acid Sequence: Alex's Mushroom Samba from the first movie, when he's hit by a tranquilizing dart (set to the Sammy Davis, Jr. cover of "The Candy Man"). In the third movie, the circus performance is very trippy, with colorful flashing lights in front of a dark background, and animals flying around in all directions. It's hard to tell what is actually happening on-stage and what is just imagination. | |

Species Subversives | |
| Madagascar (Franchise) / int_628da1d4 | comment |
Species Subversives: The series subverts several animal tropes. Alex the Lion is hardly brave or powerful (proud on the other hand...) Marty, the Zebra is the farthest thing from elegant, noble, and hard-working (although he is really stereotypically black). Gloria is far from a lazy, slobby hippo. The Penguins are the farthest thing you'll ever get from clumsy, and they don't even like cold weather. | |

| Madagascar (Franchise) / int_6bd689ca | comment |
Meaningful Echo: Alex says to Marty, "I'm thinking of a song. It's a wonderful song. I think you're familiar with it." Then after singing, the first verse of New York, New York, Alex says, "C'mon, you know the words. Two little words." Later, Marty says and does the same thing after he tells Alex, who is on the fossa side of the island so that he can protect Marty and the others from himself, that he's not leaving without him. It becomes a Tranqed Mid Sentence, and he hams it up with an imitation Russian accent, but it's still pretty meaningful when Alex echoes Vitaly's Badass Boast: "We go back and we show them how wrong we were... and if we go down in flames... so be it!" (The first part also echoes Alex's intended rebuke for the penguins in Monte Carlo, "show them how wrong they were (for leaving us)".) | |

Ambiguous Time Period: The level of technology seen throughout the series is kept rather low, while Freeze-Frame Bonus in the second movie seem to imply the present plot is set in The '80s, another one in the third movie implies the setting is present day. Confusing things further is Penguins of Madagascar, which ditches the retro aesthetic entirely and displays futuristic looking technology. | |

Interspecies Romance: In the sequel, Melman reveals he has feelings for Gloria. By the end of the movie, it's mutual. In third movie we get Julien and Sonya, and Alex and Gia. At least Alex and Gia are both felines. In Merry Madagascar there is Private and Cupid. | |

Parental Bonus: Quite a few references to made-for-adult films like Planet of the Apes, American Beauty and others, along with Alex telling a basketball with a paw print on it to shut up... The sequel has references and gags the target audience couldn't possibly get, including Shout Outs to The Twilight Zone (1959), West Side Story'', and there's even a slightly troubling joke about Mort trying to get scissors and hand cream through airport security... | |

Stranger in a Familiar Land: The first film implies this to be the reason why the penguins didn't stay within Antarctica like what they originally wanted, especially as Penguins of Madagascar reveals they were born there. By the third film, Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman finally complete The Homeward Journey. Unfortunately, their adventures throughout the series made them unfit at the Central Park Zoo. To make things worse, they're apprehended and trapped there with increased security measures, and the animal control officer who captured them still wants them dead. Fortunately, their friends come to their rescue, and in the end Alex and the gang decide they belong in a touring circus. | |

Leitmotif | |
| Madagascar (Franchise) / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: Several of the characters/character groups seem to have their own theme: King Julien has "I Like To Move It Move It" (which is also the series's theme). Mort has this dorky "La La La La La" song. Moto Moto has "I Like Them Big, I Like Them Chunky". Alex has "Alex The Lion" & "The Traveling Song". He also shares a Love Theme with Gia the Jaguar, "Love Comes As A Surprise". The Penguins as a theme done in the style of Mission: Impossible, James Bond, or spy flicks in general. The Chimps have a goofy, bouncy theme that can only be described as "fun-loving mayhem". Makunga has a throbbing, dark, ominous, villainous bad guy theme. Nana has the theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly....polka-style (being a stereotypical Jewish granny Alter Kocker and all). Vitaly has this cool, deep, Russian choir of deep, manly voices. Chantell DuBois has this really swanky & vampish tango music. | |

It becomes a Tranqed Mid Sentence, and he hams it up with an imitation Russian accent, but it's still pretty meaningful when Alex echoes Vitaly's Badass Boast: "We go back and we show them how wrong we were... and if we go down in flames... so be it!" (The first part also echoes Alex's intended rebuke for the penguins in Monte Carlo, "show them how wrong they were (for leaving us)".) | |

Soundtrack Dissonance | |
| Madagascar (Franchise) / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: In the first film, "What a Wonderful World" plays while Alex flees his friends and his friends (elsewhere) see various animals getting eaten as they take a walk. This is somewhat justified in that the music itself is more melancholic than you would anticipate from the text. Later, in the midst of Alex chasing Marty down to eat him, the National Geographic Fanfare is played. Another during the second movie. While Alex is fighting the old lady, a fast polka version of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly's theme is played. It's reprised at the end when Nana (the old lady) beats up Makunga. Also in Escape 2 Africa, the plane rescue of Alex has "Copacabana" playing. And in Escape 2 Africa, the jeep the penguins steal has a tape that plays "More Than A Feeling". In the third film, Enya's Watermark plays during Sonya and Julien's Falling-in-Love Montage. | |

Marty wants to go to the Wild (aka Connecticut), the penguins want to go to Antarctica, Marty wants to belong to a herd of zebras, Gloria wants to have children and the "core four" want to return to the Central Park Zoo in the second and third films. None of it pans out for them, save for Melman carrying a torch for Gloria. | |

Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: In the first two films, a little elderly lady named Nana brutally beats up Alex, calling him a "bad kitty". | |

Translation Convention: See Animal Talk above. In Europe's Most Wanted, American characters can't hear what Chantel DuBois is saying, and she doesn't seem to have a clue what they're saying, either. | |

Ambiguously Gay | |
| Madagascar (Franchise) / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: King Julien up until the second film, where he asks all of his subjects which one is attracted to him. The third film gives him a canon girlfriend, Sonya the Bear, thus making him Ambiguously Bi. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Madagascar (Franchise) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: It's a little noticeable as the films progress. The penguins have a pretty visible change in design; where their beaks and feet are a brighter color orange and brighter color white as well, as well as their black feathers are more "shinier" than in their previous appearances. The shading in the first film was pretty good, but there was a minimalistic amount of motion blur, making the characters’ movements somewhat jerky. However in the second film, there's more motion blur, making them more smoother. | |

Keet: Alex is really hyperactive, especially in the first one. So much that Skipper refers to him as "that psychotic lion". This is probably a gag on that Alex called the penguins psychotic earlier. | |

Never Say "Die": Averted across the first two movies, though principally (if not always) with Ineffectual Death Threats. | |

Drives Like Crazy: The Penguins, whether by land, air or sea. Of course animals can't drive, but the Penguins themselves seem to take delight in pulling this trope. | |

Shown Their Work: All of Phil's sign language throughout the franchise is accurate, American Sign Language - Mason's interpretation isn't always perfect but it is suitably close enough to count. Melman's will in the sand in the first movie is an accurate, legal and binding will. | |
