They should call it

the San Di-lame-o Zoo.

First they tell you, "We got this great

open plan thing. Let animals run wild."

Next thing, flowers in your hair,

everybody's hugging everybody.

This place kind of grows on you.

This way, guys! Come on!

What the?

Oh, no!

OK, let's make

a good impression on the people.

Smiles, everyone.

Let's get it together.

- Is that the best you can do?

- Oh, I'm not smiling. It's gas.

Well, great.

Let's make gas look good.

- Wow!

- It's not people. It's animals.

California animals. Dude.

This is like a Puffy party.

I like to move it, move it

I like to move it, move it

- Ya like to

- Move it

I like to move it, move it

I like to move it, move it

I like to move it, move it

- Ya like to

- Move it

I like to move it, move it

You like to move it, move it

She like to move it, move it

- He like to

- Move it

All girls all over the world

Original King Julien

'pon yer case, man

I love how all the girls

that love to move their body

When ya move your body, ya do

Move it nice

and sweet and sassy, all right

What kind of zoo is this?

I just saw 26 blatant

health code violations.

I'm loving San Diego.

This place is off the chizain.

Twenty-seven.

Woman, physically fit, physically fit

Physically, physically, physically fit

We should've brought chips and dip.

Wait.

Where's Alex? What happened to him?

He was right behind us. Wasn't he?

I don't know where he's at,

but he's missing one heck of a party.

The foosa!

The foosa!

The foosa are attacking!

Run for your lives!

- Foosa hungry.

- Foosa eat.

I hate spiderwebs.

Yeah, thanks a lot, guys.

Thanks for waiting up.

Really appreciate it.

Hi. We just got in from New York,

and we're looking for a supervisor.

Because we've been sitting

on that beach there for hours,

and nobody's even bothered to show up.

I don't know how things

are normally run around here,

but there's been some sort

of major screw-up, which is cool.

If you could point us towards

the administrative offices, we'll...

Well, howdy-do.

Spider! Spider! Spider on my back!

Maurice, did you see that?

He scared the foosa away.

Come on, Gloria. Get it.

Get it! Get it! Get it!

- That's it! Smack it!

- Get it, get it!

Whip it! Whip it good!

Where'd it go?

King Julien, what are they?

What are they?!

They are aliens. Savage aliens

from the savage future.

They've come to kill us. And take

our women. And our precious metals.

Get up, Mort. Do not

be near the king's feet, OK?

We're hiding. Be quiet,

everyone. Including me.

Who's making that noise?

Oh, it's me again.

There it is! Get it! Come on, Gloria!

- Enough! Enough with the stick.

- I think she got it.

Is it still on me? I hate spiders.

It's OK. It's gone.

They are savages.

Tonight we die.

The feet. I told you...

I told you to... I told every...

Didn't I tell him about the feet?

He did tell you about the feet.

- Wait. I have a plan.

- Really?

I have devised a cunning test

to see whether

these are savage killers.

Hi there!

You let me handle it.

Alex handles it. Marty does nothing.

Hi there!

Oh, jeez. Sorry.

- Oh, Alex, what'd you do?

- Stop, stop. It's OK, it's OK.

I'm just a silly... just a silly lion!

Oh, jeez!

- Aw, Alex!

- Oh, you poor little baby.

Did that big mean lion scare you?

He did? He's a big,

bad old puddy tat, isn't he?

Come on. Mama'll hold you.

Aww, look at you.

They are cute

from a reasonable distance.

Aren't you the sweetest little thing.

I just want to dunk him in my coffee.

They're just a bunch of pansies.

I don't know.

There's something

about that one with the crazy hairdo

that I find suspicious.

Nonsense, Maurice.

Come on, everybody.

Let's go and meet the pansies!

Presenting your royal highness,

our illustrious King Julien XIII,

self-proclaimed lord of the lemurs,

et cetera. Hooray, everybody.

He's got style.

What is he, like,

king of the guinea pigs?

I think it's a squirrel.

Welcome, giant pansies.

Please feel free to bask in my glow.

- Definitely a squirrel.

- Yep. Squirrel.

We thank you with enormous gratitude

for chasing away the foosa.

- The "whossa"?

- The foosa.

They annoy us by trespassing,

interrupting our parties

- and ripping our limbs off.

- Good.

We're trying to find out

where the people are, so...

What big teeth you have. Man!

Shame on you, Maurice. Can you not

see that you have insulted the freak?

You must tell me,

who the heck are you?

I'm Alex. The Alex.

And this is Gloria, Marty and Melman.

And just where are you giants from?

We're from New York and...

All hail the New York giants!

New York giants!

Is this some sort of

inbreeding programme?

I say we just got to ask these

bozos where the people are.

Excuse me. We bozos

have the people, of course.

Hey, the bozos have the people.

Oh, well, great. Good. Phew.

They're up there.

Don't you love the people?

Not a very lively bunch, though.

Wow.

So do you have any live people?

No. Only dead ones.

I mean, if we had

a lot of live people here,

it wouldn't be called

the wild, would it?

The wild?

Whoa. Hold up there

a second, fuzzbucket.

You mean, like,

the "live in a mud hut, wipe

yourself with a leaf" type wild?

- Who wipes?

- Oy vey.

- Oy vey!

- Oy vey, everybody!

Oy vey!

Could you excuse me

for a moment?

Get me out of here!

We got to get out of here!

- Help!

- What are you doing?!

I'm swimming back to New York.

I know my chances are slim,

but I have to try!

- You can't swim!

- I said my chances are slim!

Nature! It's all over me!

Get it off! I can't see! I can't see!

I can see!

Look. There's obviously

been a little mistake.

The people didn't

dump us here on purpose.

As soon as they realize what happened,

they'll come looking for us, right?

Yeah, right.

I don't know the words

But we're born free

You know something?

I bet they're already on their way.

Well, boys, it's going

to be ice-cold sushi for breakfast.

Rico.

Well, since I'm doomed

to die on this forsaken island,

I, Melman Mankiewicz,

being of sound mind

and unsound body,

have divided my estate

equally among the three of you.

Sorry, Alex.

Hey! A latrine. Nice work, Melman.

Outdoor plumbing.

No, it's not a latrine.

It's a grave! You sent Melman

to his grave! Are you happy?

Aw, come on.

This isn't the end.

This is a whole new beginning!

This could be the best that's happened!

No. No. No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. No. This is not

the best thing that's happened to us!

Yeah, you abused the power of the birthday

wish and brought bad luck on all of us!
