# Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa – Parent Guide This PG animated adventure is generally safe for children with no language, sexual content, or scary moments. The mild action involves cartoon animals in perilous situations like plane crashes and animal encounters, but nothing graphic or disturbing. It's a fun, silly comedy that works well for most elementary-school-age children and up.

Alex, Marty, and other zoo animals find a way to escape from Madagascar when the penguins reassemble a wrecked airplane. The precariously repaired craft stays airborne just long enough to make it to the African continent. There the New Yorkers encounter members of their own species for the first time. Africa proves to be a wild place, but Alex and company wonder if it is better than their Central Park home.
