History WMG / Madagascar

* [[spoiler: Jossed.]]

[[WMG: Jossed.]]

Team Mammal (Leader: Alex?) One of the clips released showed the Mammals arguing over who was their leader. Alex claimed it was him, but the others wanted their own chance. Since they are disorganized (compared to the Lemurs and Penguins) they're going to have trouble keeping everything together until they work out who is their leader and work through their problems.

** Wouldn't it be ''awesome'' if that came true?

In ''Penguins of Madagascar'' Skipper mentioned that Hans the Puffin framed him for something in Denmark and now he is banished from the country. Considering how Denmark is in Europe (Well, Scandanavia) and the movie is now borrowing stuff from the TV show (Rico can throw up larger items and more easily, Skipper's personality has been changed to the TV show one) and Skipper on the TV show has shown at least once that he knows about the movies (Despite existing in a different continuity, Skipper hallucinated Alex who retained most of his movie personality and blatantly referenced the movies) so Denmark may be carried over too.

The Circus will arrive in Denmark, after Skipper warns them he can't enter, and once they cross over Skipper is targeted by the Police. Rico gets captured in his stead, tortured, and we get the scar, show off the Penguins awesomeness when they rescue him, and set up Animal Control realizing that the Animals are at the Circus.

* Think about it. He's already flamboyant enough for it, and he seems to care mainly about Marty, not so much the others. Also it would be about time a mainstream movie did this.

** This theory is similar to the Water Truce in TheJungleBook: in the dry season, the river bank is a safe place where predators and prey can drink together.

* The penguins were just background characters in the first film. They had some important duties in the second film, even if they weren't the stars. In the trailer for the third film they are an important focus and seem to be part of the attraction for the movie. Their badassery has even been Flanderised. I think they're going to be co-stars for the third movie. They have become VERY popular thanks to ''ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' spin-off series.

* In the past few years, DreamWorksAnimation films, particularly the sequels, have had darker moments and storylines. Thus, it's very possible that the third movie in this franchise will be the same way.

** the one-eyed king of the land of the blind, then?

* Amazingly he seems to grasp almost everything going on. He understands that The People are dead (he just doesn't ''care'') he understands that the Foosa are deadly, and really does come up with the plan for using the new Freaks to scare them away, which would be a good idea if it weren't for the fact that Alex is part of it. And he has a fairly good idea for getting the New Yorkers on his side. Yes, he is crazy, but very few if any of his ideas are disagreed with. He doesn't do it by being the strongest and scaring people; he does it by being the most sane resident (and telling people to shut up a lot).

[[WMG: King Julien XIII really is the most sane of all the Lemurs. That's why he's king.]]

** So it's like the birthing/crowning ceremonies in TheLionKing?

* From the look of things, the watering hole is the only water for miles. Sometime in the past, the then-ruling alpha lion declared the watering hole a safe zone, where prey could be safe. In exchange, the prey would help him defend his territory, should a threat arise, such as a rival pride of lions. This way, the herds of prey could get water without fear of being eaten, and the lions would have a large army of allies. In the generations since then, the lions and other predators have done their hunting away from the watering hole, preying on wandering herds. As a result of all this, the prey animals at the watering hole have lost their fear of predators.
