Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) runs 1 h 29 min, is rated PG in the US and averages 6.5 from 7,690 TMDB members. Alex, Marty, and other zoo animals find a way to escape from Madagascar when the penguins reassemble a wrecked airplane.

Africa proves to be a wild place, but Alex and company wonder if it is better than their Central Park home.
