A group of animals who have spent all their life in a New York zoo end up in the jungles of Madagascar, and must adjust to living in the wild.

The Madagascar animals fly back to New York City, but crash-land on an African nature reserve in Kenya, where they meet others of their own kind, and Alex especially discovers his royal heritage as prince of a lion pride.

The Madagascar animals join a struggling European circus to get back to New York, but find themselves being pursued by a psychotic animal-control officer.

A rather neurotic ant tries to break from his totalitarian society while trying to win the affection of the princess he loves.

Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private join forces with the secret organization North Wind in an effort to stop a terrible villain from wiping out all the penguins in the world.

When Santa and his reindeer crash onto Madagascar it's up to Alex, Marty, Gloria, Melvin, and the penguins to save Christmas.
