a treadmill. After Marty's birthday party when Alex was talking to him, Marty started walking on his vx treadmill.

| What did Skipper (the lead penguin) tell Kowalsky his job was? | Madagascar
|
to win the hearts and the minds of the natives. Skipper was always the one to give orders to the three other penguins.
Marty. Marty swings in and lands in back of a pack of penguins who are singing the chorus and take off in flight. The dream is interrupted by Alex who comes to surprise him on his tenth birthday with a gift. Marty's tenth birthday ends up being the impetus for the movie. At ten, he has reached middle age and wants to see the wild. His subsequent escape leads to the animals' eventual deportation and arrival on Madagascar.
Connecticut. He believes Connecticut is wild because of a comment by Melman. He plans to take the train out of Grand Central Station. Ultimately he, along with Alex, Gloria the hippo, and Melman, end up in a standoff with the police, SWAT, firefighters and one lone animal control agent.
Candy Man. The version used in the film is the Sammy Davis Jr. version of the song. The song was originally created for the 1971 version of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". In the dream state, Alex sees patterns of colors that are taken from the natural patterns of a giraffe and zebra. He also sees a shot of New York with fireworks exploding over it with Gloria in a fairy outfit, a clear homage to the famous Disney logo with Tinkerbell.
| Due to the fracas, the animals are to be shipped back to Africa. The boat to ship them back is hijacked by the penguins in an an attempt to make it to Antarctica. Do the penguins ever make it to Antarctica? | "Madagascar" : "Africa! That ain't gonna fly!"
|
Yes. They make it there and see only a white endless plain. Their reaction upon getting their was "Well this sucks!". They then get back on the boat and end up in Madagascar.
| When the group arrives on Madagascar, they come across a wild party being held among the island's native species. Many of them are common in zoos, but there is also a very rare and endangered kind of primate known as an Aye-Aye. He is the second in command to King Julien. What is his name? | "Madagascar" : "Africa! That ain't gonna fly!"
|
Maurice. Maurice is voiced by Cedric the Entertainer. He is second in command to King Julien and he questions whether or not it's a good thing to have Alex and the others around. The aye-aye is similar in build to a lemur but its head is more fox-like. Its main distinctive feature is that it has long thin skeleton-like fingers and their middle fingers can be up to three times as long as the rest.
steaks. His natural carnivore instincts are coming out without his regular supply of steaks from the zoo. When he wakes up from this dream, he find himself sucking on the rear end of Marty. He tries to cover by counting the stripes on Marty to help him solve the riddle of whether Marty is white on black or black on white.
flare. They send up a flare, then sneak right into the midst of the fossa pack. They set up a pole with the boat steering wheel on it. One of the penguins gets covered in whipped cream as a temptation for the fossa, while the others spin the wheel and use it as a defensive weapon.
Robot. His plan is to use Alex to drive away the fossa. Even though it doesn't occur anything like he envisioned it, he takes credit for the victory and starts the robot and is soon joined by Maurice.
The robot dance itself can be traced back to Charlie Chaplin in the movie "Modern Times". The more popular contemporary version was popularized by Michael Jackson in the 70s.
| After the fossa are beaten back and scared off by Alex, there is still the matter of Alex's savage and predatory ways to be addressed. Marty has one of the penguins whip up something that Alex decides is even better than steak. What is it? | "Madagascar" : "Africa! That ain't gonna fly!"
|
sushi. He is initially unsure about the food but ends up enjoying it. The penguin is evidently a very accomplished chef, and he even dresses the part. Alex likes the dish so much he orders 300 to go.
The penguins. At the end, Marty, Alex, Gloria and Melman board the boat and make plans to take a trip around the world. Unbeknown to them, the penguins are laying out on the beach and know the secret that no one is going anywhere. They reveal that the boat is out of gas, and so Skipper tells the rest of his crew to "Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave." The group of four penguins is a para-military like group who engage themselves in missions and paranoid conspiracies. They each have a specific role. Skipper is the leader, Kowalski is the planner, Private is the youngest and the code-cracker, and Rico is the weapons and explosives expert.
Surprise. The first word was "Surprise," which Alex said when he popped up into Marty's daydream. The surprise was to wish Marty a happy 10th birthday. This startled Marty, making him topple backwards off of his treadmill.
Red. The bow was a simple red, on top of an Alex snow globe. Apparently, Alex was obsessed with himself, since the only things he had gotten Marty had his face on them.
Stanford Local. Marty went to Grand Central Station and was trying to decide which train to take. Apparently, he missed the Express and was going to take the Stanford Local. This was when the other zoo animals came in and ruined it for him.
Fruit. Gloria got fruit, Melman got medicine, Marty got grass, and Alex got steak. Alex was the only one who got fish, and only near the end of the movie. When Gloria was being pampered, she saw the fruit and said, "This is the life." There were many different kinds of fruit, including pineapple and grapes.
London. When the zoo animals got onto the boat, Alex said, "By the time we get back to New York, it'll be the middle of winter. So I was thinking, why rush? Maybe we could make a few side stops along the way." That gets them excited and they start naming off places that they would like to go. Marty wanted to go to Paris, Gloria wanted Fiji, and Melman wanted Canada.
Alex You're Great!. The crowd clearly expressed that they wanted the best for Alex, and that was to let him go. Then, Alex got darted back to sleep and put on a ship. When Alex and Marty got in an argument, everyone got thrown off the ship and landed on Madagascar.
Kowalski. Kowalski was obviously the smartest of the penguins with general knowledge. He was taking notes when Skipper talked and was in charge of finding directions, so he was pretty smart. Private and Rico were useful, but not too bright, and Skipper is not a choice.
Guinea Pigs. Alex said, "Is he like king of the guinea pigs," before the squirrels were even mentioned. Then they asked the lemurs where the people were, but the only people were dead ones hanging from a tree.
Wild Sweet Wild. The mat said "Wild Sweet Wild," but a sign on the door did say "No Soliciting."
Alex finally went over to the fun side once Melman and Gloria left and Marty convinced him. The hut was called Casa del Wild.
Stevie. It was quiet, but Julien did actually say "Go, Stevie, Go," not Phoebe. Stevie is a small, black and orange striped gecko, but he didn't do much in this movie. Then, Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman started to head back to New York. I say "started" because the boat was out of gas and they couldn't actually go anywhere.
Bon Voyage Pansies. When King Julien jumps out of the cake he is wearing a coconut bikini top and a grass shirt and says, "Look! I'm A Lady ... Not Really, It's Me, King Julien. Which Of You Is Attracted To Me?". His voice was brilliantly voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen who you might also know as Ali G, Borat or Bruno.
scissors and hand cream. Mort did actually run towards the plane carrying a large pair of scissors.
Mort is actually a Russet mouse lemur, they move through the trees and can leap across gaps between trees using their tails as balance. At night they feed on beetles, other insects and small vertebrates on the forest floor.
King Julien is a ring-tailed lemur, stinky scent glands help them to mark their territory and during mating season males rub their tails with the scent and wave their tails at each other in a who-stinks-best stinky fight. Phew!
Maurice is a aye-aye. They have a long middle finger that they use to tap trees to locate insects in tree trunks, they then use the long finger to pull the insects out.
Lemurs and aye-ayes are small primates that are only found in Madagascar.
