Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the opening dream sequence of the movie, who swings into the scene on a vine a la Tarzan?

Answer: 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.
2. After having a run in with the penguins and learning of their plans to escape to the wild, Marty decides to do the same. At night he skips out and heads for what location?

Answer: 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.
3. During the incident at Grand Central Station, Alex is tranquilized and enters a psychedelic state. While in that state, what old time song does he hear?

Answer: 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.
4. 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?

Answer: Yes

They make it there and see only a white endless plain. Their reaction upon getting there was "Well this sucks!". They then get back on the boat and end up in Madagascar.
5. 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?

Answer: 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.
6. When Alex begins to go savage, he has a dream that mirrors the one from the movie "American Beauty". Instead of rose petals, what substance is Alex swimming and rolling in?

Answer: 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.
7. When the gang is being attacked by the island's predators the fossa, what modern convenience do the penguins use to distract the carnivores?

Answer: 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.
8. To celebrate the "success" of his plan, King Julien starts to do what groan inducing dance?

Answer: 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.
9. 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?

Answer: 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.
10. Who has the last line of the movie before the credits roll?

Answer: 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.
