Why Are the Animals All So Weird in Madagascar?
In 2005, DreamWorks Animation’s beloved family film “Madagascar,” currently streaming on Peacock, opens in the bustling city environment of Central Park Zoo. Within this urban setting, Alex, a regal lion, holds court as the self-proclaimed “King of New York.” Accompanying him are a group of friends and acquaintances, including Melman the giraffe, Gloria the hippo, Marty the zebra, and a team of mischievous penguins named Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private. However, during their transfer to a nature reserve, an unexpected turn of events causes Alex and his friends to end up in the ocean and ultimately reach the shores of Madagascar.
