[edit] When's it coming out?

Hey, it says on the article that it will come out on the 7th of November, but somewhere else it says the 8th. When is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.136.128.225 (talk) 02:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Isn't the name of the film is Madagascar: The Crate Escape. Tyw7, formerly Troop350 (talk) 08:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of Plot

The movie is currently only in the storyboard process as of right now, so a plot has not been fully revealed. The plot that was on the page appeared to be fabricated by a user that has done similar type plots to other shows and movies. As of right now, this plot should be removed until it is officialy announced by the film. --Nehrams2020 02:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

-- I agree, its also pretty badly written 84.71.28.1

I came here to explain that it should not be readded without a source. Remember to be bold and remove it if it's bull. Atropos 03:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree, it should not be added until dreamworks or a credible source has announced the official plot on their website (With a link to where it was exactly announced) -G Hrsn

Coming Soon has a plot up that Ben Stiller confirmed.[1] -24.92.46.16 18:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

And how often is that site right?

The new plot summary sounds more like a teaser advt. Do you think it's okay to keep it? LeaveSleaves (talk) 13:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

It is not OK to cut and paste complete text from another site - that is a copyright violation against Wiki policy. It is OK to read, understand then create a summary of what it said in your own words with a reference to where you got the info. --NrDg 18:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Teaser Poster

I found a teaser poster online. Would someone mind uploading it to Wikipedia? I try to but it doesn't work for me. Thanks! Here's the link: [2] --Jak 21:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amy Adams

I removed Amy Adams from the cast. Haven't found anything about her involvement or her character. If I am mistaken, please re-add it and also find a source. Best regards, --Plumcouch ^Talk2Me 02:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2 things

a) this plot summary sounds like garbage!

b) that link at the bottom, it should only be linked on the madagascar 2 bit of it, not the full thing with the 'on's and the 'the's etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.183.51 (talk) 12:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unknown Characters

[edit] New Title?

Look at this http://www.trademork.com/madagascar-escape-2-africa/ Benzy19 11 March 2008 (UTC)

That is a little too fuzzy to indicate a title change just yet. Looks like something being considered but not necessarily decided yet. IMDB info on future projects is fed by the studios so is most likely to be most up to date. No need to hurry on this. Suggest not renaming until we get more information. --NrDg 15:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SAW A WORKING FILMING OF THE FILM TODAY 26APR2008==

Was able to see a working version of the film today in Seattle, WA. They did a screening that was a combination of storyboard, primitive animation, and finished animation. Movie was great and the storyline noted is about right on. They were asking a lot of questions about the end. Basically the boy (lion) goes back to NY and his family goes back home, which I think is a wierd way to end. The film was really funny ! They had some references that were a bit too 'over' the heads of most kids, and probably a few adults. (like does everyone know that Fosse is a coorographer, dancer ?)

Overall, great film ... cant wait to see a finished copy.
