Summary:
Alex the Lion is the king of the urban jungle as
the main attraction at New York's Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends
Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo have lived their entire
lives in blissful captivity, complete with lavish meals and their own park
views. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty allows his curiosity to get
the better of him and, with the help of some prodigious penguins, makes his
escape to explore the world he's been missing, intending to return before
morning. In the middle of the night, Alex, Melman and Gloria discover their
friend missing and decide the only course of action is to break out of the zoo
and get Marty back home before anyone notices they're gone. Even in New York, a
lion, giraffe and hippopotamus wandering the streets and riding the subway are
bound to attract some attention. Alex, Melman and Gloria manage to track Marty
down in Grand Central Station, but before they can catch the train home, they
are darted, captured, crated and put on a ship to Africa by well-meaning humans
who think they should be freed from the stress of New York life. When those
plotting penguins sabotage the ship, Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria find
themselves washed ashore on the exotic island of Madagascar. Now, these native
New Yorkers have to figure out how to survive in the wild and discover the true
meaning of the phrase "It's a jungle out there."
