Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

The charming animals are back - Alex (lion), Marty (zebra), Melman (giraffe) & Gloria (hippo), King Julien, Maurice and the penguins

At Madagascar distant shores , the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plan - sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just enough to make it to the wildest place of all - the vast plains of Africa itself - where these zoo-raised crews encounter species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their roots, they quickly realize the difference between the concrete jungle and the heart of Africa.

Which one is better: Africa or their Central Park home?

Toorop, his new young charge Aurora (Melanie Thierry) and Aurora's guardian Sister Rebeka (Michelle Yeoh) embark on a 6,000 mile journey that takes them from Eastern Europe, through a refugee camp in "New Russia," across the Bering Straight in a pilfered submarine, then through the frozen tundra of Alaska and Canada, and finally to New York. Facing obstacles at every turn, Toorop, the killer for hire, is tested like never before, in ways he could never have imagined - as he comes to understand that he is the custodian of the only hope for the future of mankind.
