Madagascar recap

Let’s talk about the previous films of Madagascar. Madagascar already has 3 films and a spin-off. 

The first film, Madagascar, started at the Central Park Zoo where Marty the zebra was celebrating his 10th birthday and wishes to experience the wild. He has a best friend, Alex the lion, who enjoys attention and performing for the public which the people have dubbed him the King of New York. Alex attempted to cheer his best friend but failed and then later, Marty learns that the penguins namely skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private were attempting to escape. So, Marty followed the penguins, while Alex, Gloria the hippopotamus, and Melman the giraffe followed Marty in hopes of making his return. The four got on a journey that washed them ashore on Madagascar. With no humans to give them food, Alex then started to feel his predatory instinct and attempted to bite Marty. However, Alex overcame his wild predatory instinct. The penguins then feed him sushi to satisfy his hunger. You can see at the end of the movie that as the foursome celebrates, the penguins decide not to tell them that the ship ran out of fuel.

In the second film, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, you could see at the start of the film that Alex was just a cub and his name was Alaska. It was in Africa and Zuba, Alex’s father is trying to teach Alex how to fight, but Alex is more interested in dancing. Alex was then captured by poachers to which hisate drifted across the ocean and landed on New York City. Alakay was given the name Alex and he grew up at the Central Park Zoo where he found his friends namely Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippopotamus. Fast-forward to the current situation, the foursome is still trying to find ways to get back to New York, but crash-land in African reserve. Alex is reunited with his parents and the others bonded with their species. However, Makunga, a lion who wants to lead the pride, is planning to replace Zuba and be the Alpha lion. Later on, the foursome decided to stay on the reserve for a while.

The third movie, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, continues the journey of the foursome trying to get home to New York. Their journey took them to Europe where they purchased a failing traveling circus. With the staff of the circus-like Sonya the bear, Vitaly the tiger, Gia the jaguar, and Stefano the sea lion together they boost the business. Eventually, the four finally arrived in New York only to realize that they can’t be held in captivity and decided to stay with the circus.

Madagascar Season 4 Plot

The fourth installation of Madagascar will continue the adventure of the foursome coming to terms as they come back to New York Central Park Zoo. There are no exact details about the plot of the fourth film, but it is in the works. Let’s just wait for more announcements from DreamWorks.
