Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a 2008 computer-animated comedy produced by DreamWorks Animation, and is the first sequel to 2005's Madagascar as well as the second installment of the Madagascar franchise.The film takes place shortly after the first movie. The penguins fix a crashed airplane and the zoo animals (plus King Julien and Maurice) try to fly back to New York but run out of fuel (or perhaps more accurately, run out of plane) and crash. They land in a wildlife reserve and discover not only that there are others like them, but also that the lion pride in charge is Alex's family. Though Africa initially appears to be a paradise for the Zoosters, things quickly go amiss as each member of the group finds complications and they’ll need to rely on each other in their new home.This film is followed by a third film titled Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, which came out on June 8, 2012. | |

Sure, Let's Go with That: Melman saying Gloria has a beautiful laugh as she snorts happily causes Alex and Marty to look at each other, and give frozen smiles. | |

Planet of Copyhats: Apparently, all hippos are sassy like Gloria, all giraffes are neurotic and hypochondria-prone like Melman, and all zebras are laid-back and wise-cracking like Marty (as well as look and sound exactly like him). Averted with Alex, who's an odd one out of his species with his flamboyant mannerisms and love of dancing. | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
| Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: In the teaser to Escape 2 Africa, Melman admits that he loves Gloria. At first, this seems to be a gag based on the fact that their plane is falling out of the sky (especially given the characters' reactions), but it turns out that it's the driving point of Melman's plotline in the movie. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Alex doesn't quite fit in because he's more of a theater performer who loves dancing and really isn't into playing sports. Coming-Out Story, anyone? And in the beginning, King Julien comes out of the cake and says, "I'm a woman! Which one of you is attracted to me?" | |

Cooking the Live Meal | |
| Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa / int_263b090b | comment |
Cooking the Live Meal: The New York tourists who have been stranded in the African wilderness and turned feral attempt to roast Alex the Lion by tying him to a wooden spit and turning him over a fire. In a parody of the common gag, Alex attempts to blow out the fire as he faces downwards, only for the fire to blaze up even higher as he supplies it with fresh air. He is saved by his father bursting in and freeing him from the spit, which gives Alex opportunity to assuage the angry tourists by displaying his dance skills. | |

Love Interest vs. Lust Interest | |
| Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa / int_46f46fd2 | comment |
Love Interest vs. Lust Interest: A variant in which the target character is pursuing the "Lust" interest while they're pursued by the "Love" one. Gloria initially has an interest in the Chick Magnet Moto Moto, who in turn finds her attractive for her body fat, but that's all he has for her. Gloria's friend Melman, on the other hand, has a crush on Gloria for her personality and status as a person, and experiences a Heroic BSoD the moment he sees her with Moto Moto just when he decides to confess his feelings for her (although not without interrupting their date to tell Gloria anyway and also call out Moto Moto on his behavior), prompting him to volunteer himself for a sacrifice hosted by King Julien (which Julien proposed in an attempt to restore the river adjacent to the African animals' land after it was dammed by the lost tourists) shortly afterwards. In a fortunate coincidence during the sacrifice ceremony, Gloria realizes Melman's crush on her was genuine, and dumps Moto Moto to go to the event and spare Melman from his attempted death. Since then, Gloria and Melman remain an Official Couple for the rest of the Madagascar series. | |

Planet of Steves: Every zebra acts and nearly looks the same as Marty (not to mention that like Marty, they're all voiced by Chris Rock). Alex is only able to tell Marty apart from the others because of the teeth marks on his butt from the previous film. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: When Melman sees Gloria on her date with Moto Moto, he says something like, "You don't know how lucky you are. You've found the perfect woman, so you better treat her like a princess." Then he goes on to describe in depth what he would do if he were in Moto Moto's shoes. This becomes his reason for a planned Heroic Sacrifice when Melman offers himself up for Julien's crazy plan to sacrifice to the Rain Gods. He believes he's dying anyway, so he figures he might as well go down trying to get Gloria some water. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: The newspaper article briefly seen at the beginning of the movie dates Alex's arrival in New York as April 8, 1972, suggesting the modern day plot takes place some time in the 80s. note Although that doesn't explain why the Twin Towers are absent in shots from the present (while they are visible in the flashback) or why Marty has an iPod, which would suggest a post-2001 setting. | |

Worthless Yellow Rocks | |
| Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa / int_83856158 | comment |
Worthless Yellow Rocks: The gold and diamonds the animals dig up at the watering hole while desperately looking for water. The penguins, who are from New York and are well aware what gold is worth to humans, take it all for themselves (the loot comes back in the third film, although the trope is no longer in play). Marty and the Zoosters are also aware of its value in civilization, but they have greater concerns. Justified, as the animals of the reserve really have no use for gold or jewels, while animals that intend to be among humans can use it. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: After Teetsi defeats and humiliates Alex in combat, he is never once seen afterwards. Odd, since he was seen talking with Makunga beforehand, implying they were in cahoots. We never get to find out what happened to Nana and Makunga after the former delivers a beat-down on the latter and takes him off-screen. Word of God says she took him home as a pet, implying the other tourists, who were last seen a couple minutes ago, returned home as well. | |

Mean Boss: Skipper becomes this to the chimpanzees. Some time before the gang needed the plane to go and rescue Alex, Skipper refused to give the apes maternity leave (even though they're all male), which made them go on strike, and even then, Skipper says that he would only do it if they busted up the union. And the reason why he gives is because Mason and Phil are in possession of pictures of him and his doll that they use for blackmail. | |

Ascended Extra: Kowalski, and Private now speak a lot of lines in this movie. The penguins in general are much more involved in the plot of this movie. Mason and Phil have major roles in this movie after having minor roles in the previous film. Mort has a bigger role in this movie after having an Advertised Extra in the first film. He is the only lemur beside Julien and Maurice to come to New York. Nana was only the subject of a brief gag in the first movie, here she's the main human villain. | |

Karma Houdini: The poachers who captured Alex as a cub. The last we see of them is them driving away in their truck, with Zuba in hot pursuit. Zuba says that when he eventually caught up with the poachers, he couldn't find Alex, and thought the poachers had killed him. It is unknown what happened to the poachers. (One can only hope that Zuba tore them to pieces off-screen). | |

Retcon: A few plot elements are introduced as if they have always been there: Alex's birthmark is the most notable example, being rather prominent in size and location, but not seen at all in the first movie. Melman's crush on Gloria did not come up in the first film at all, but here it is introduced as if he has been in love with her since childhood. While Alex was shown to be fairly energetic, there was never any indication that his performance at the zoo consisted of anything besides posing and roaring. Here he's known well enough for his dancing that New York tourists are able to recognize him by it. | |

Lighter and Softer: While the first film (despite remaining mostly comedic in tone) wields markedly disturbing elements of psychodrama (particularly in its third act, in which Alex undergoes a Sanity Slippage transforming him from a neurotic, uptight showman into a savage apex predator with a visible desire to devour his lifelong friends as per his natural instincts), this instalment hews closer to a broader ensemble comedy, with any potential predator-prey tensions between the film's coexistent lion and herbivorous characters neglected almost entirely instead of deconstructed. | |
