Well done, boys. Looks like ice-cold sushi for breakfast.
No, no, son. Over here.
See the lion? Look at the lion and get the lion.
Now, son, if you're gonna grow up
and be like your daddy someday, you gotta learn how to fight.
Da-da.
Now, Alakay, let me show you something, OK?
You see this mark?
You and me are the same.
When you're bigger, you are gonna be alpha lion just like your daddy.
Now let me see you fight. Ready?
No, Alakay. No dancing!
You just amuse yourself, don't you?
You're a strange kid. You're a strange one. I'm...
Now, come on, let's try it again.
No, Alakay.
Stop, stop that, stop that right now. Doggone it!
It's so disappointing when they don't grow up the way you want it to.
Makunga. You're not challenging me again, are you?
Look on the bright side Zuba. After I defeat you and take over as alpha lion,
you'll have so much more time to spend with your pathetic excuse of a son.
Before I kick your butt, let me ask you,
Why do you wanna become the alpha lion?
I'm better looking, I have better hair, I'm deceivingly smart...
...and I want everyone else to do what I say.
We fight on three. One...
Pay attention, Alakay. Daddy will show you how it's done.
Two, three!
- Who's the alpha lion? - You are.
Don't you forget it.
And that, Alakay, is how you attack...
Alakay?
That's it. Here, kitty, kitty.
This one's a beauty.
He'll be worth a few bucks.
It just gets easier and easier.
Daddy!
Alakay! Alakay!
Alakay!
Da-da!
No! No! No!
Alakay!
- Daddy! - Alakay! Daddy's got you! Hold on!
Da-da!
Alakay!
Daddy!

I don't like the looks of this guy.
- Well, I think he is kind of cute. - I think he is kind of show off.
You think he's cute?
Roar!!
The King of New York City...
...Alex the Lion!
I still think he's kind of a showoff.
You got to give it to him, the guy's an animal.
Maybe he should take a break. You know, we could all use a vacation.
Come on. Where on earth would we go on vacation.?
I don't know about you, but I wanna go to Connecticut!
On the loose, several animals, including the world famous Alex the Lion,
The king of New York, escaped from the Central Park Zoo tonight.
The escapees were finally cornered in Grand Central Station.
He was a very bad kitty.
Animal rights activists, who convinced zoo officials
to have the animals sent to Africa,
were stunned to learn that the shipping freighter carrying the animals
was reported missing today.
Tonight, hundreds of New Yorkers have gathered at the zoo
to mourn the loss of their beloved zoo animals.
The question on everyone's mind, where are they now?
# I like to move it, move it #
# He likes to move it, move it #
# She likes to move it, move it #
- # We like to - Move it! #
Come on! Y'all know this one! It never gets stale!
- # We like to - Move it! #
We'll miss you little fuzz buckets! You've been a great crowd!
Glad we can introduce you to the toilet.
If you ever come look us up in Central Manhattan, feel free to call first.
Seriously though, call. OK?
Settle down, settle down everybody. Ssh... Be quite.
- You can't leave without this! - Hey. Surprise freaks!
Shake it! Shake it.
Look, I'm a lady! I'm a lady, everyone!
I'm a lady! Not really! It's me, King Julien!
Which of you is attracted to me? Hands up!
Hey, freaks! You will be very glad to hear that I am coming with you.
Oh, no, thank you.
Yes, thank you. It's my plane!
Until I return with the spoils from the new country...
...Stevie will be in charge!
I don't think they like that idea so much Julien.
What are you saying, Stevie?
Oh, oh, no!
Could we...? No, you didn't say that! How is that even possible?
Naughty little thing! Stevie says...
Let them eat cake!
King Julien, wait for me!
I'm all packed! I have a whole itinerary planned!
Oh, no! It's Mort! He's so annoying! Don't let him on. Stop that thing!
He's carrying scissors and hand cream!
Everybody in! Quickly, get in, get in! Get in quick!
- Struts. - Check.
- Flaps. - Check.
- Engine. Coffee maker. - Check.
You guys!
Oopsie-daisy!
That has to be the second biggest slingshot I've ever seen.
But it'll have to do. Attention.
This is your captain speaking.
In the event of a water emergency, place the vest over your head
then kiss your life good-bye.
New York City, here we come baby!
Pray to your personal God this hunk of junk flies.
Personal God, hunk...? What?
We are go, sir.
Open the door! I'm outside!
In case of losing cabin pressure, place the mask over your face,...
...to hide your terrified expressions from the other passengers.
Excuse me miss, But aren't these supposed to be attached to my seat?
- No, sir. - OK, boys, launch!
Launch!
- Launch! - Launch!
Gremlin!
Hey, Mort.
Hi!
That was weird.
- Hey, somebody is dreaming ha? - I think I just saw Mort on wing of the plane.
You got Madagascar on the brain.
- Yeah. - Sure. - I know I'm gonna miss it.
It was incredible. I think it'll seem much more fun the further way we get from.
Yeah, like when you beat me on the butt?
I'm gonna take that thing you're holding on to and I am going use it on stage.
It's all part of my little actor's salad bar of emotional tidbits.
Now, are the butts next to the croutons at the salad bar?
- You don't need to be sarcastic, Marty. - Hey guys, you know, I was thinking.
When we get back, I might just sign up for the breeding program.
Breeding program?
I think we all reach a point on our lives when we wanna meet somebody,
- Yeah! - Settle down, have a relationship.
- I can see that. - What? Like, like dating?
Yeah, dating.
Other, other... other...Other... guys?
What do you mean, "other guys"?
Darn it!
I'm gonna, what is holding up that beverage service?!
I'm gonna go check.
Oh, yeah ya, keep talking. I'm gonna catch a few winks.
Did you see that? It's so funny!
I like laughing! It's such a nice experience!
To laugh!
Do you mind going back? This is first class.
It's nothing personal. it's just that we are better than you. Maurice, I'm open! Hit me!
- He shoots, he scores! - Is that Vivaldi?
- In-flight slave. - Can I help you, Mr. Mankiewicz?
Bring my nuts on a silver platter.
We just wanted to check on the drinks we ordered.
Oh, sorry. We are in a little backed up.
- I guess I'll go back... - Hey, what happened to your body?
You're freaking me out! Can you please go over there, please?
Thank you very much.
What happened to the separation of the classes?
Yeah, I'm sure this all democracy thing is just a fad.
We'll go out for pineapple, my little bobbly-headed boobily-boo.
Skipper, look.
Analysis.
It looks like a small incandescent bulb...
designed to indicate something out of the ordinary. Like a malfunction.
- I found it pretty and somewhat hypnotic. - That too, sir.
Right! Rico?
Manual!
Problemo solved.
- Sir, we may be out of fuel. - What makes you think that?
We've lost engine one...
- ...and engine two is no longer on fire. - Buckle up, boys.
Don't look, doll. This might get hairy. Attention! This is your captain speaking.
I have good and bad news. The good news is, we're landing immediately.
The bad news is, we're crash-landing.
When it comes to air travel, we know you have no choice what so ever..
But thanks again for choosing "Air Penguin."
Raise your arms, Maurice! It's more fun when you raise your arms like this!
I can fly!
This could be it, Marty! I just want you to know you are truly a one-in-a-million friend!
Thanks, buddy! You're the best ever!
- I know, you won't mind when I tell you... - Come on. Tell me it, tell me, tell me what?
I broke your iPod!
- What? - The buttons were so small!
It made me mad!
- The horror! - I'm sorry!
- I'm gonna kill you! butt-biter! - It was an accident!
- An accident! - Butt-biter!
I love you, Gloria! I always have!
Like ah... Like you love the beach. Or a... good book... Or the beach.
My goodness doll, you're shaking like a leaf.
Rico, you've had your fun.
Pull up.
Gear down.
Gently now. You just wanna kiss the ground.
Just a little peck, a smooch, like you'd kiss your sister.
I said, kiss it!
Now just a little brake. Just a touch. a little whisper.
I believe that's checkmate.
Commence emergency landing procedure. Flaps up! Deploy!
Oh, we're here.
What in the world?
- What happened to the plane? - Okay!
- What did y'all do to the plane? - We've just crushed! - I don't know!
I'm OK. I'm alive.
See, I can't even sleep for a minute. You know what, this is not JFK.
Kowalski, casualty report.
Only two... passengers unaccounted for, Skipper.
That's a number I can live with. Good landing, boys.
Who says a penguin can't fly?
Hey, happy slappers! Is there some reason to celebrate? Look at the plane!
- We'll fix it. - Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Grit, spit and a whole lot of duct tape.
We should be up and running in, say, six to nine months.
- Sixty-nine months?! - No, six to nine months.
Kowalski, I say we use this setback to our advantage.
Where do you get,... where do you pull that number out of, huh?
I want you to reconfigure the...
- ...design, so start reconfiguring! - Great, that's a great...
How do you estimate that?
You! Pretty boy! Why don't you and your friends dig a tree, maybe find water.
Hold on, hold on a second. Who made you king of... the plane wreck?
Excuse me? Fine. You can be in charge. You fix the plane.
Who gives you the authority to put me in charge?
OK, then I'll remain in charge.
Yeah, that's right. you will remain in charge.
You and your little hippie friends stay out of our hair.
- Correcto-mundo. Because I decided to. - Good for you.
Yeah, well guess what this discussion isn't over.
Higher mammals! You'll stay with us.
We could use your front cortexes and apposable thumbs.
Phil! I should wash your hands out with soap.
How, in the... Hello! are they gonna fix this plane?
You know, grit and spit and spit.
A lot of spit and grit and stick-to-it-iveness.
That don't sound too promising.
You're right. Right, We're stuck here.
Hey guys! as long as we're together, we'll be OK.
Yeah, yeah but love ain't gonna get us home.
Behold! The lion!
- Hey, it's people. - OK. There is much to see, moving on.
Wait, wait, wait! People!
- They'll help us! - Wait up!
- People! Stop! - Help us!
Hey wait, if you stop, I'll autograph those!
I know you!
- You. - It's that bad kitty.
How do you like some of that?!
Come in, Tokyo!
Right in the batteries.
You think an old lady can't take care of herself?
Next time, I won't go so easy on you!
Thank you, dear.
Moving on!
Are you out of your mind? We need their help and you harass little old ladies?!
Out of my mind? Aha!
Who's out of my mind now?
- See if you can get an operator. - No problem.
Out of my mind. We're going home.
Message E-4.
The service user has roamed outside the coverage area.
Please try again later.
Oh my.. Wow...
Am I trippin'?
All those zebras... like me.
- Wait a minute, Where are we? - San Diego.
This time I'm 40 percent sure.
- I know this place. - I think it's Africa.
Africa?
It's got to be.
Our ancestral crib.
- It's in our blood. I can feel it! - No, no. it's more than that. It's like...
...déjà vu, like I've been here before.
It's like Roots!
No, no. it's like...
...déjà vu, like I've been here before.
How!
Me Alex!
Me and me friends fly,
fly in great metal bird.
Then plummet!
Smash ground!
Go boom!
Then here we emerge. We offer only happiness and good greetings.
Is he dancing about a plane crash?
Yeah. We just... yeah.
I thought... Sorry.
You mean, you came from off the reserve.
Yeah, way off, from the Central Park Zoo actually.
Don't strain yourself.
What's going on here, what is all this have about?
They say they're from off the reserve.
That's impossible. Only people come from off the reserve.
You look familiar. Do I know you from...?
How could you possibly survive the hunters?
- Hunters, we didn't see any hunters. - What are you looking at?
Me? Nothing.
This watering hole doesn't need any more mouths to feed.
So just get out of back to wherever you came from.
OK. Was there a maybe like a manager we can talk to?
- Oh, I see. You're here to challenge me. - What? No! No, no.
What else would start you look on to me?
Zuba! Wait.
Don't call woman, don't you see I am trying...
Yeah, yeah, Zuba. Hold on.
Alakay?
- Is that you? - No, it's Alex. "X", like New York Knicks.
Zuba, look!
Oh, I have always had that, have had checked it out, it's really...
It's kind of a beauty spot, really.
A mark.
All right, this is a little weird.
Honey, he's come home.
What?
You've come home.
Son.
Dad.
Mom and Dad? Mom and Dad!
Mom and Dad! It's my mom and dad!
I got a mom and dad!
My baby's alive!
Dad!
My son!
My son is home!
Alakay! Alakay has come home!
Alakay! Yeah! The prodigal son returns. This is perfect!
I thought you hated Zuba.
No, I do. I do. I do. I hate him. Oh, I do.
And I'm going to use Alakay, yes.
I'm going to use him to get rid of Zuba once and for all!
Giddy-up, feathered horse!
Make way! Move out of the way! Stand aside!
New York!
It's a bit of a dump. Are you sure we're not in New Jersey?
Hello, New Yorkers! Your new king is here!
This calls for a celebration!
Maurice, I think they like me.
You've got to love a non-hostile takeover!
Chukka-chukka what?
Excuse me, excuse me. I'm Marty. I'm kind of new around here.
Hey, Marty!
You're a good-looking group! You like to run?
Oh yeah. Running is crack-a-lackin'.
That's right! Crack-a-lackin'.
You guys speak my crack-a-lackin' language.
What? You don't have doctors here?
Well, not any more.
Well, what if you catch a cold?
We go over to the dying holes and we die.
OK, you guys really need a doctor.
- Hey, we have an opening. - Would you be interested?
Me? A doctor?
It's raining men. Hallelujah! You all got it going on.
How come you don't have a man in your life? You got worms?
Oh, I got rid of those. Listen, girls.
Manhattan is short on two things, parking and hippos.
Hey, everybody! I just found out that my son
is a doggone king! The King of New York!
Show me some of your moves, son. Don't be bashful.
All right. Ooh, this one always knocks 'em dead.
Roar!
Look out. The King is mad. The King is mad!
Now, let's all welcome him back into the pride with open arms!
Welcome to the herd, Marty!
Me, in a herd? I've always wanted to be part of a herd!
- It's one for all... - And all for all, y'all!
How do I look?
Technically, a traditional witch doctor has a bone through his nose.
Don't worry... it has just a clip on it.
Voilà! He's a witch doctor!
My mother would be so happy.
Look out! I think Moto Moto likes you.
Here he comes.
# I like 'em big #
# I like 'em chunky #
# I like 'em big I like 'em plumpy #
# I like 'em round With somethin' somethin' #
# They like my sound They think I'm funky #
Goodness, girl... you huge.
Who's your friend? Or is that your butt?
Girl, you are as quick as you all have to.
So you're Moto Moto?
The name's so nice, you say it twice.
I kind of like it, that so.
I'll see you around, girl. It won't be hard, because you so... plumpy.
Oops!
I hate to be a party pooper, Zuba,
but some of the lions were wondering when you are going to banish your son.
- What are you talking about, Makunga? - It's nothing, really.
They're griping about who Alakay never went through
the rite of passage, blah, blah, blah,
so technically speaking, he can't be a member of the pride. It's nonsense.
I had forgotten about the rite of passage.
What is it? What's this rite of passage?
It's a traditional coming-of-age ceremony,
where young lions earn their manes by demonstrating their skills.
- Sort of a show skill, talent show, tab dale? - Yeah. Strutting their stuff.
A Great performance! I think that's up my alley guys.
If it's tradition, I wanna do it. Strut my stuff. Earn my mane.
I want to be Alaki.
- Alakay. - Alakay! Even better.
We will hold the rite of passage first thing in the morning!
That's wonderful! Good luck, Alakay.
Where I'm from, we say, "Break a leg."
Oh, that's my boy.
# I'm a private dancer, A dancer for money #
# Any old music will do #
Beautiful, isn't it?
- Yeah. - It's amazing.
Guys...
...this is where we belong.
Operation Tourist Trap is a go.
- Oh, I like that one. That's a good one. - It works on many levels sir.
You guys are a bunch of suck-ups.
- That, too. - Absolutely.
- Hide. - Stations.
Stage one. Go!
Oh, no! What have I done?
Come on, take the bait.
- What happened? - What is going on? - Oh, look at the poor little guy.
Is it dead?
Stage two! Go, go, go!
I will give him the kiss of life.
Rico!
Reverse!
Gas!
Music!
No! Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Come back!
What is all this rock'n'roll racket?!
Is she dead?
No!
You hoodlums!
Good heavens! Are you OK?
Lady, I found your pocketbook.
Oh, my handbag. Such a good boy.
Nana can't survive without it.
Wow, you are one tough cookie.
Brownies Troop 416, Yonkers.
OK, nobody panic! The best thing we can do is stay together.
We'll wait for another tour jeep. It may take hours, and it's getting dark...
- ...but - Where are you going?
I'm not gonna stay out in the opening get attacked by more animals.
I'm too old to die.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm going with her. Old lady, wait up!
Please! We need to stay...
...together.
Fine! We'll go that way!
Does anyone want a hard candy?
- Easy now. - Watch your step.
And this, right here... OK, are you ready?
This is where you always slept.
Oh, man!
- Was this mine? - Look at you. Look at him, honey.
Oh my. Oh, this thing. Look, look!
- I remember this! - He remembers.
A little harder than...
You never slept on the right end. You always slept on the bottom end.
Is that...?
Is that my...?
Is that me?
You had the cutest little paws.
Little, little bitty ol' paws.
You did that the day we lost you.
Wow. I was so young.
What happened to me?
It was all my fault.
- I turned my back a minute and... - It was not your fault.
Your father did everything he could. He tracked those hunters for weeks.
Far off the reserve.
Finally, I had to assume the hunters...
...well...
We thought, we thought they killed you.
But my son fought those hunters off ha! Don't mess with the King of New York!
- That's right! - Keep your chin in.
Alright, alright boys. Be careful. Watch out before you break something.
You used to call this "foofie."
"Foofie"?
Foofie.
Oh, he doesn't want that thing.
This is my foofie!
Zuba, you better give him his foofie.
I mean, no, thank you, thank you. It's perfect.
Well son, you get your rest. You have a big day tomorrow.
You're gonna need all your strength.
I'm gonna bring the house down for you dad.
I hope so. Otherwise, your father will have to banish you.
Oh Jeez, Mom, really?
I know you're gonna do us proud. You know why?
You were born with it.
Good night, Alakay.
My boy. My own boy.
My son's a king.
Good night, Mom.
Good night, Alakay.
Foofie.
Look at foofie! My foofie!
Foofie, foofie, foofie. My foofie!
No sign of civilization. Everybody appears very tired.
I think we're lost.
Hey Nana, do you even know where you're going?
No, but I'm going with a skip in my step and a smile on my face.
Sure, right, OK. Yeah, all right.
- Uh, It's people. Where do you come from? - How could we get out of here?
- Can you help us? We're lost. - We're lost too.
It was awful. A flash of black and white never gone. They took the jeep! Everything.
- That happened to our jeep too! - What are we gonna do?
How will we all survive?
No food, no water, no shelter. What are we gonna do?!
You can let nature get the best of you, or you can get the best of nature.
Gather 'round, children. We're New Yorkers, right?
Yeah.
- We survive the concrete jungle! - That's right!
When we need food, we hunt for a decent hotdogs stand.
- Am I right? - She's right.
When we need shelter, we build skyscrapers.
- Exactly! - When we need water, we build a dam.
Come on, we're New Yorkers, for crying out loud!
If we can make it there,
we can make it anywhere!
I'm coming, King Julien!
Bad fishy! Bad fishy!
No, shark, no! no! Sit!
Why am I laughing?
Skipper, we have all the parts we need, but we're slightly behind schedule.
- How slightly? - Uh, six to nine years.
- Sixty-nine years? - No, six to nine years.
Private! What happened to our thumbs?
Haven't seen them since yesterday sir.
Damn you, Darwin!
Nobody goes AWOL on my watch. Private! You're coming with me.
Rico! You're coming with me!
I'm tracking down to bring them in for court martial.
That won't be necessary!
We've recruited a few extra thumbs for you, Skipper.
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Oh, I doubt that.
Enough lollygagging. Now let's get to work.
We'll divide into three groups. Group Alpha, you are charged in sheet metal fabrication.
Group Prosy, you'll handles assembly.
Group George Peppard, you'll handle gas services.
Any questions?
Good! Let's get to work.
I'd like to kiss you, monkey man.
All right, but you're so Darn ugly.
Alright, so little cubs cats,
just remember, great dance performance comes from the heart.
Just comes straight from your heart and you never go wrong.
Sure, mister.
Hey, Alakay, I just happened to walk by, I thought I'd wish you luck.
- You're not nervous, are you? - Nah, it's my thing, you know.
It's kind of what I do.
In my opinion, the key to this whole thing is choosing the right competitor.
Oh, you mean, this is like a dance,... battle sort of thing?
- Like a dance-off? - Uh... sure.
Great. I love that. Freestyle, put your moves out.
Who do you thing would be a good match for me?
You know, just to keep the things interesting.
Well, I wish I could help,
but that's strictly against our ancient tradition and all although hold secret, but...
...if it was me out there... I'd choose Teetsi.
Teetsi. OK. Sounds interesting.
Makunga, right? Thank you.
Anything for Zuba's boy. Go get 'em, tiger.
Shake it out.
A five, six, seven, eight.
Let's go, let's do it, let's do this.
Let us begin the rite of passage ceremony.
- Come on, baby! Make Mama proud! - Woman, I'm trying to take...
Got it, Mom!
So who will be the first participant?
Me! Oh! Me, me, me! Me! Me! Me!
- ...Me, me! Please, me? - How about you? The tall, handsome one.
Right there, yeah. Choose your opponent.
Let me see.
I guess I'll pick...
...Teetsi?
Teetsi? Why did he pick Teetsi?
Oh, that's my boy, he got some gumption there.
Somebody wake him up, wake him up.
All right, so, Teetsi, come on. Let's do this, huh?
Come on, Teetsi fly, Teetsi fly. Come on let's see your stuff. Bring it.
- Let's dance! - OK.
But it's only fair to warn you that I am a protégé of...
...Fupsy and Robbins!
Not "dance" dance! Fight!
Oh, dance fight. You got it.
- Is he dancing? - What's he doing?
I know that boy is not dancing.
This is even better than I thought.
Alakay, turn around!
No, no, Pop, it's hop, shuffle, ball change, hip swish, turn around.
Oh, no.
Alakay! Are you hurt?
- Oh yeah, I'm. - Oh!
- Did I... did I win? - Oh no son.
How could, I mean how could this happen?
You told us you were a king. And a king does not get beat.
Well, I'm a king. I'm a king in New York. It's...
It's my stage name. I'm like a, you know, It's for what I perform.
Perform?
Oh, no, this is horrible! Alakay has failed the test!
Who would have ever imagined that today Zuba would have to banish...
...his own son?
Zuba, no.
Zuba, yes.
Sadly, the alpha lion must cast out all failures.
Then, I'm no longer the alpha lion.
Dad, what are you doing?
Dad, no! You can't do this.
Who could possibly take Zuba's place?
Anyone?
Someone? No one?
You, sir!
I guess not.
Well, I... this is all very awkward,
but I suppose I... could carry this tremendous burden.
Teetsi! Get the hat.
As your new leader, I hereby banish Alakay!
He shall wear this Hat of Shame... and leave the watering hole
for a thousand years, or life!
Whichever comes last.
Come on. Shoo, shoo! Get out of here!
You should have told us, You should have told us that you weren't a real king!
You never told me I'd have to fight anybody!
What did you expect, Son?!
I don't know! Maybe a little fatherly advice, like... "Hey, son, it's a fight!"
You're a lion, aren't you?
- But I never fought another lion in my life! - Yeah, I guess not. You dance!
And other stuff! The point is, your pal, Makunga, set me up back there!
- I mean, none of these would happen... - If you were a real lion.
- Zuba! - Yeah, I said it!
A real lion.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Saw.
Suture.
Swab.
You're in my light, Stephen.
Ooo, say. You've got a brown spot there on your shoulder.
Yes, that's very observant of you Stephen. As you can see, I'm covered in brown spots.
OK! That bone will be good as new in a few weeks.
So I don't have to pick out a dying hole?
No, Timo, you've got your whole life ahead of you.
- Really? - Go out there and grab a bite of that horns.
- Thank you, Dr. Mankiewicz! - Break a leg! Sweet kid.
This spot looks like Witch Doctor's Disease.
Witch Doctor's Disease? That's the most ridiculous disease I've ever heard of.
- Don't ask. - Someone's been knotty.
Ok, this won't hurt a bit.
Joe, our last witch doctor, had a spot just like that.
- Ohum? and? - Monday, Joe. Wednesday, no Joe.
Wednesday, no Joe?
I can breathe! Thanks, doc!
So, this... this Witch Doctor's Disease is a real thing?
You'll find a cure. Hey, you got at least forty eight hours.
But I've never heard of it. What?
I mean... I don't have any penicillin.
I'm gonna need a CAT scan just to get started!
You'll have a lion looking over. They'd be happy to.
Ta-da!!
- That guy has got talent. - Stupendous and tremendous.
Hollah!
Bet you've never seen that one before! Knocked 'em dead in New York!
- Hey, let's all give it a try. - Yeah, let's do it.
Well, hey hey hey, I know you want to but it takes years of practice.
You get never gonna quite get a tight stream...
until you build up your lip muscles to the point where you can...
purse your lips like this. You got it?
Ta-da!
How did you...? You guys got it right out of the box!
- If you can do it... - ...we can do it.
It's in our blood!
I always thought, I was a little bit unique.
We are unique!
Hey, we are like a force of nature.
- A million points of light! - And dark stripes!
Exactly the same!
Exactly the same.
Looks impressive, Kowalski, but... will it fly?
Yes. If we fold it here, here and here.
Nice.
Oh, man. My dad thinks I'm a total loser.
I've ruined my parents' lives.
That is definitely not crack-a-lackin'.
It is lackin' in the crackin', my friend. I've gotta fix this.
So...
...there's... Um... There's something I gotta tell you.
Hey, guys.
Is this place great or what?!
I'd go with "or what."
Oh well, I tell you what. You're not gonna believe it, but...
...I got a date with Moto Moto.
- Who's Moto Moto? - Oh, he's so big and handsome and big!
- You know what "Moto Moto" means? - Twins?
- It means, "Hot Hot." - "Hot Hot"?
OK, when did you start parley in African?
- It's in my blood. - Well, don't worry,...
...you can flirt around with Mr. Hot Pants after I'm gone.
What's the deal Melman? Why am I the parade and you're the rain?
Why do you have to dry the parade under my rain?
Maybe I'll just parade myself in another part of town.
- Whoa, guys. - Fine by me,...
By the way, the main streets mine.
Well, you can have your old stinking main streets.
And you can take your hottie tub flood and you Mr. hot, Moto Moto Jr. comes...
- What are you talking about? - What are we talking about?
Come on Melman, why don't you just tell her?
You tell, what? Tell her, what are you talking about?
- I don't know what you are talking about. - So I guess, I'll go then.
- You know what, don't bother. - Don't get up on my account.
- Melman! Gloria! - Hey,...
- I...I thought you guys were friends. - Come on guys, Marty is absolutely right.
- Marty? - Marty?
Marty?
What the heck is going on?
You're not ooh.. He was no! I thought he... You're not him. He is ooh...
You thought that guy...
...was me?
No, no, no. I mean yes, yes. You do guys,...
- ...come on. - You thought I was him?
You guys do kind of look a little a lot...
...you look a lot alike. Marty you look a lot alike, come on.
You laugh alike, you talk alike, he has the same sort of speech pattern...
I mean that is a little weird. Really, you two guys are, come on Marty.
So... you're saying there's nothing unique about me.
- I'm just like any other zebra. - No. Of course you're different!
- How? - How?
OK, ok, I can't tell you apart.
Maybe you could wear a bell or something. I don't know.
- A bell?! - OK. not a bell, no, bell is a...
- ...bad idea.. - No, no, no.
How about a T-shirt that says, "I'm with stupid"?
- I'm not stupid! - Not you, stupid! Him, stupid!
You know what? While you have been off doing prancing pony with the new pussy.
I have been having pretty much the worst day of my life, OK?
It's always about you, isn't it?
My problems are just a little bit bigger than yours Marty.
All right, I couldn't tell you apart. So what?!
Yeah, fine. Run away, Marty! Run away!
That's what you do best! Just like back in New York!
I'm right here. But you can't tell that, right?
Your one in a million friend hopes you enjoy your bigger-than-anyone-else's problems alone
Good, leave! I don't need you to help me solve my problems!
You know what? You diame dust I can't tell which one's Marty!
Oh, which one is Marty? Wait a minute, wait a minute, oh yeah! I don't care.
Nice hat, you showoff!
Marty...
...don't go.
Giddy-up, giddy-up!
Look, Maurice!
Here is the perfect spot for my summer palace!
so please fill in all these holes and relocate the riff-raff..
- Oh, who'd leave a perfectly good head lying around. - What a waste.
Tell me about it. I'm in my prime here.
I'm terminal, you know?
Probably only have another two days left to live.
That's a bummer, man.
Oh, if I King Julien, that's my name...
...only had two days left to live,
I would do all the things I've ever dreamed of doing.
Like what?
I'd love to become a professional whistler.
I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I wanna get luck even better,
I'd make my living out of it.
You know what else I'd do? I would invade a neighboring country
and impose my own ideology, even if they didn't want it!
It's easy for you to say, you are a king.
Yes. And you are only just a sad little head.
But there must be something you want to do before you die.
- Well, there is this one thing. - What is it? Tell me.
- Well. No, I couldn't. I mean. - What is it?
You know, I just never really have the guts to tell Gloria,...
- ...how I think about her. - What is it? Please tell me!
I don't really have the guts to tell Gloria, how I feel about her.
I have always felt about her.
Fine, don't tell me! Oh,...
Is it a woman? You didn't tell me we are talking about a woman.
What are you afraid of? You're a dead man anyway, come on.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, you are right.
Well, you gotta march right up to this woman, right?
You look her right in the eye, you lean forward, right?
Just a little, or almost all the way.
Then you let her, like, lean forward, just a little bit until you're...
...just lips' distance away from each other.
And then you just tell her, how much you hate her.
- Actually, it's more like love her. - Oh, you sly dog! Woof, woof!
You're a real player, you know that? Now listen to me.
You gotta rise up. You hearing me?
- He didn't hear you. - I can't hear you! - Yeah!
- Good. You gotto rise up. - Rising up! - Yeah!
- Get out of the hole! - I'm rising up of the ground!
- He's rising, Maurice. - I'm rising, Maurice!
- Rising! - You gotto go right up to this woman.
Yeah!
- Do you feel it? - Yeah!
- You gotto go right up to her face! - Tell the truth!
- I'm going to tell her! - And then you gotta say: Baby, I dig you.Yeah.
Yeah! I'm going to do it! I'm going to do it!
I love that happy little head.

Moto Moto...
...before things get too serious, well,
I was wondering, if I were to, for example, stay here...
...I'd like to ask you...
Let your candy lips be the messages to my... ear canal.
Well I don't know, I have so many questions.
Well I promise, the answer will always be yes...
Unless no is required.
OK, so what is it about me that you find so interesting?
Oh, you're the most plumpenest girl I've ever met.
OK. Other than that.
Let's see.
You, well, you know... you're chunky.
Right.
My gosh, girl, you're huge.
You said that.
Oh, yes right.
We don't have to talk no more.
Gloria!
Gloria.
Melman.
Melman, I... I want you to meet Moto Moto.
Ah, Moto Moto. Yeah, nice to, nice to meet you.
- Well, I guess I... - It's OK, Melman.
Apology accepted.
Oh, yeah, right, yes. That, yes, that's why I... Good.
- Oh, OK. That's well, that's it then. - You good, we're kind of a busy here man.
No. No, that's not it.
Listen, Mototo, you better treat this lady like a queen.
Because you, my friend, you found yourself the perfect woman.
If I was ever so lucky to find the perfect woman,
I'd give her flowers every day. And not just any flowers. OK?
Her favorites are orchids. White. And breakfast in bed.
Six loaves of wheat toast with butter on both sides.
No crust, the way she likes it.
I'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend.
I'd spend every day trying to think of how to make her laugh.
She has the most... most amazing laugh.
That, well, I mean. That's what I would do, if I were you.
But I'm not, so you do it.
OK. ok.
What?
That was beautiful.
Anyways, where were we?
I'm "huge"?
Surprised to see me, Makunga?
Well, I'm here to set things straight, like a real lion!
Is this real enough for you? How about this? This is for setting me up!
This is for stealing my dad's job! This is for humiliating my family!
And making me look like a fool!
Had enough? Sure, fly away!
Coward.
- The water. It's gone. - Oh no.
The watering hole has never gone dry before.
- We're gonna need a lot more dying holes. - How could this happen?
Out of my way! What is going on here?!
The watering hole is dried up! There's barely water for one of us!
- Yes, good observation, Shirley. - I'm Bobby.
Makunga, what do we do?
Quiet!
Listen up! I'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis.
We'll all have to fight for it.
- Fight for it? - Fight for it? - That's crazy.
That's not fair. You'd win!
Exactly, Shirley.
I'm Bob...
Sorry, folks, but life isn't fair. I'm in charge now,
thanks to Alakay, the dancing lion.
Please, Makunga, this is the only water on the reserve.
If you're thirsty, you'll have to look for water off the reserve.
- Off the reserve? - It's too dangerous!
- Hunters would shoot us! - No one leaves the reserve and survives!
I left the reserve!
And survived.
I can do something about this.
Looks like a clogged pipe, like we get in New York all the time. I'll travel up river...
- Up river? - Off the reserve?
You?
Yeah. I'll unclog the pipe and bring back your water.
Great! I'd help you pack, but by the looks of that hat, I see you're all set!
Yeah fine. Go ahead, laugh. Laugh your mane off. I'm gonna prove you're wrong..
Maybe you should try a little rain dance.
Zuba would know what to do.
- Where's Zuba? - You don't care about us.
Zuba should be in charge, not you.
All right, fine!
As an added measure, I will consult with Zuba!
Marty?
Hey! Marty!
Marty?
Marty.
Where'd you get the such fruity hat?
Excuse me! Excuse me!
Hi. Is...is Marty in there?
Anyone seen Marty?
Which one of us is Marty?
All right. Well, if you see him,
tell him his friend Alex came to say goodbye.
- Goodbye? Don't go. Where are you going? - Can we come?
No. no. This is something I have to do alone.
You can't leave the reserve!
What are you doing?
- They'll get your hat. - Hunters are everywhere!
Could you leave the hat?
Marty! I know you're in there.
Before I go, I got something I wanna say.
You've been a great friend.
You've helped me so often to see the bright side of my problems
that I never think of you having any.
I wasn't there for you when you needed me.
Just like back at the zoo.
What kind of friend does that make me? A pretty lousy friend, I guess.
Well I just want you to know that I...
You're one in a million.
This is touching.
It is touching.
So could you please turn around so I can tell you that to your face?
That's right. Got you.!
I see you in there. Yeah yeah you.
That's right you, right there.
Twelfth row, two hundred and third from the left.
That's you, Marty.
I know it's you.
You know what makes you special?
These guys are white with black stripes. You're black with white stripes.
You're a dreamer, Marty.
Always have been. You have great taste in music
and horrible taste in friends.
Well, not Melman and Gloria, but me.
OK, I'm in.
No Marty, you can't come with me.
I don't believe you have a choice.
- People are out there! - You're crazy! Come back!
The people will get you!
Don't lose the hat!
Bye, hat!
Any water?
No, just more diamonds and gold.
OK. Don't give up hope.
Listen up! I will help you!
There's only one way to get your precious water.
I, your beloved King Julien
must simply make a small sacrifice to my good friends, the water gods,
in the volcano!
What does that do?
What does that do? Excellent question.
My sacrifice goes in the volcano.
Then the friendly gods eat up my sacrifice.
"Very nice. Thank you for the sacrifice."
"Please have another sacrifice" "No, I've had enough for the day."
"Listen, I'm gonna be insulted unless you have another."
"I don't want another sacrifice, OK?"
"Look at you! You look skinny!" "No, I think I've had enough, is that clear!"
The gods eat the sacrifice, they are grateful,
They give me some of their water, and then I give it to you.
What?
Does it work?
No! I mean, yes.
Well, Maurice?
Ah, it's fifty-fifty.
- Yeah! - We'll do it!
Excellent!
Now... all I need is someone who would like to go into the volcano
and get eaten by gods.
Any hands! Hands, anybody!
OK. I need someone, perhaps who has never fall in love,
who could look death straight in the eyeball. A real, genuine hero.
- I'll do it. - Melman?
Hurry up! Before we all come to our senses!
Melman, what is wrong with you?
I'm dying anyways. If there's a chance it'll get you water, it'll be worth it.
Are you nuts?
Gloria, I just want you to know, back at the zoo,
it was never the doctors or prescriptions that kept me going.
It was always you.
Seeing you every day.
That's what kept me going.
Melman! Wait!
Melman! Melman! Melman!
You gonna mope like this all day?
Don't "hmph" me.
Listen, Zuba. A miracle happened.
Our son came back to us. How come that is not good enough for you?
What are you saying, woman?
We lost him once, Zuba. Let's not lose him again.
Zuba!
- Zuba! - Get out of here!
What do you want Makunga?
It's awful.
The watering hole is dried up.
Dried up? That's impossible!
There's nothing left!
Well, you are the alpha lion Makunga. What are you gonna do about it?
Your son, Alakay, he said he could fix it. He's gone up river.
- Off the reserve?! - No!
I tried to stop him. I told him it was suicide.
but he was determined to prove himself to you.
You stay here, in case he comes back!
Hurry, Zuba!
I'm so parched.
Is this place starting to freak you out?
We'll slip in, find the problem. Hunters will never know we were here.
Why are "we", doing this?
Look, Marty maybe my dad'll think that I'm...
I just wanna show him, I'm a real lion.
As opposed to a chocolate lion.
I know this may sound hard to believe, but apparently, lions don't dance.
What?!
As far as my dad is concerned.
As far as people are concerned, you're a huge hit.
That was New York. This is Africa. It's a much tougher crowd.
Marty, Marty, this is it!
This is the clog! Come on.
Well, there's the water.
Marty, stay down. Look at that.
Knit one, purl two.
It's her.
- Is this right? - Oh, very good.
Nana, slow down.
You're a little tangled, aren't you?
No, don't pull. I'll do it.
We need dynamite, do you have any dynamite?
Oh, snap! I just used my last stick this morning!
- Savages! - Evasive maneuvers!
- Serpentine, serpentine! - Squiggly squid maneuver!
Zag, zig-zag, zig ziggy zag!
No, no! Squiggly squid!
Etch A Sketch!
That's too complex! Octopus, octopus!
- Run, Marty! - I can't leave you here!
Go get help! Squiggly squid maneuver! Go! Go! Squiggly squid!
Etch A Sketch! Etch A Sketch!
# Save us, We love you #
OK.
OK, OK, OK.
- # Save us - Melman #
- # We love you - Melman #
# Save us #
OK, here we go. OK, OK.
- # Melman - We love you #
- # Melman - Save us #
Here we go! Here we go!
- What's all the hoopla about? - Joe?
Joe the Witch Doctor? We thought you were dead!
So did I. Then I realized I'm covered in brown spots.
So Melman's not dying!
- Melman's not dying! - Oh, no! - Excuse me, excuse me.
Melman!
Move out!
Don't do this! Julien, stop this! This is crazy!
Oh, suddenly throwing a giraffe into a volcano to make water is crazy!
Yes!
- Please, Melman! Stop! - Gloria?
- You can't do this! - Why not?
Because...
You can't do this, Melman.
First, that hurts.
Second of all, I've only got 18 hours to live, anyway.
Melman, I gotta know...
...did you really mean those things you said about me?
Of course I did.
- That's crazy. - It is?
It's crazy to think I had to go halfway around the world...
...to find out the perfect guy for me
lived right next door.
Then I guess it's you and me neighbor...
You and me for the next 18 hours.
I'll take whatever you got.
- Maurice, what just happened? - I believe the fat lady has sung.
- Hey, what's going on here? - Marty!
Hey, hey, listen up. Alex is in big trouble. We get to get up the river fast.
- What about the plane? - Perfect! Come on!
The plane won't be fixed until the suits meet our demands.
Now, about maternity leave.
Maternity leave? You're all males.
Look, we need a plane for rescue mission.
Well, there is nothing I can do until we bust up this union.
I'm gonna get the busty not bully you if you don't get this plane going.
Can't you see these commies have my hands tied here? No maternity leave.
Maybe a certain someone wouldn't want these blowing around on the savanna.
All right. You get your maternity leave.
Finally.
Where we headed? What's going on? Where are we going?
Oh, no! Please! No! You are not gonna burn me there. No, no, no! This is wrong,
You see? You are survivors.
Now, how about a nice lion casserole?
You can't eat a lion.
Don't worry, it tastes like chicken.
No, no, no, no. Don't listen to her.
She's out of her mind, people!
I'm from New York City!
It's me, Alex the lion! From Central Park!
Dad!
What were you thinking, son? You got no business being out here!
This's it, I want you to stay behind.
They're New Yorkers. They're just rude and frightened people.
Stay back!
Are you gonna let them get away?
- What are you doing, son? - The only thing I know how to do.
What the heck?
Hey, I know those moves.
Alex?
- It's Alex the lion! - From Central Park!
It is Alex!
Only one lion can move like that!
This is beautiful.
I can't believe it.
How does he do that?
Dad, what are you doing?
I'm dancing with my son! I think.
Don't think, Dad. Feel!
Butterfly!
I'm feeling it! I'm feeling it!
Roar!
That was beautiful. Now let's eat!
Dad, look out!
What the...
Alex! Get in!
She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can!
- What? - She's got a gun!
Let's get out while we can! Pass it on!
He said let's have some fun and take out the dam. Basset hound.
Skipper! Alex wants to take out the dam.
- All right! But it's his funeral. - What?
- Hard Deploy! - Aye-aye, Skippy!
Bring it on! Bring it on!
Come back! That's my dinner!
Kowalski, full throttle.
Music!
- I like this song. - It never gets old.
It does have a catchy hook. Come about! Bring her in low!
Hold onto your skirts! It's dam-busting time!
Hold on tight, baby! Here we go!
Tell them no! Pull up! They'll kill us!
There's got to be another way! Pass it on!
They say no pull up. Kill us. There's no other way. Basset hound.
Are you sure?
Men, there is no sacrifice greater than someone else's.
No! Medic!
Ramming speed!
Bring it on!
Bad kitties.
I don't know why the sacrifice didn't work.
The science seemed so solid.
I'd jump right in that volcano if I wasn't so good at whistling.
- It's you! I found you! - Mort?
Bad fishy!
I wonder if the gods like seafood.
Let's go find out.
Look, Maurice.
- That was quick. - I did it!
I did it! I did it!
OK, you did it!
Oh, yes!!
Look!
- It's Alakay! - It's Zuba!
You did it, Zuba!
Alakay, Zuba, you did it!
Zuba! Alakay!
You're back!
I'm so glad you're safe!
Out of my way.
Well, well, well, well, well.
You know, Zuba, if I remember correctly, you quit the pride.
And you were kicked out.
So don't think for any instant that "this", changes anything.
You're right. In fact, we humbly present you with this token of appreciation.
That is a man bag, very popular where I came from.
- I don't know what to say. - You can still be tough and carry your stuff.
Does the strap adjust?
Yes. I think this his will go very nicely for me when I go out hiking.
But I'm afraid you're still banished.
We figured you'd say that.
My handbag!
You bad kitty!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
You deserve this, son.
Welcome to the pride.
Thanks, Dad. But this belongs to you.
No, no, son. To us!
My son! The King of New York!
That's my baby!
Love transcends all differences.
We are gathered here today to celebrate such a love.
Do you take each other, for better or for worse?
For better, please.
What a beautiful, weird couple!
That's not going to last.
Can I kiss the bride, Skipper?
No! Music!
- Struts. - Checked.
- Flaps! - Checked.
- Diamonds and gold. - Checked.
- Bye-bye! - We'll miss you!
See you later!
We'll be back after the honeymoon in Monte Carlo,
- or whenever the gold runs out. - Take care yourself...
Come back soon!
Hey you know mom, let them take their time.
New York isn't going anywhere, right, guys?
- Yeah, you're right about that, hey! - Well, as long as I'm with her...
...and you two, I don't care where we are.
She has the most amazing laugh.
- Love has no boundaries! - Well,...
Looks like you're stuck with us for a while.
Dad? What's wrong?
I just thought we could hang out a bit and...
- You got me! - I got you, son!
You got me with my... You did my thing. You got a background on me. I love it.
I got you, son!
The old man's not too bad, eh, Marty?
- Marty? Who's Marty? - Come on.
- I don't know no Marty. Don't call me Marty. - You can't fool me.
I don't see no Marty. Ain't no Marty here.
Marty! I can look into your eyes, and I know it's you.
# See, I've been traveling Been traveling forever #
