Alex the Lion, the most popular animal in the New York
City zoo. Nicknamed The King of New York, he is quite against staying
in the wild and tries to get everyone to go back to the New York City
zoo. He just loves eating steaks but has no idea what they actually
are.
Chris Rock as Marty the Zebra, the instigator behind everyone's
adventure on Madagascar. He constantly dreams about the wild and
wonders what life would be like beyond the zoo (unlike Alex who is
more satisfied with how things are). One night, following the
successful escape of the penguins, he leaves the zoo causing his
friends to try and rescue him. When caught, animal rights activists
have them shipped to a wildlife preserve in Kenya. But the penguins
turn the boat around and Marty and his friends fall off the boat in
their crates. The crates float on the ocean until they reach
Madagascar.
David Schwimmer as Melman the Giraffe, a hypochondriac giraffe who was
transferred to the Central Park Zoo as a young adult. Because of his
previous stay in the Bronx Zoo, Melman believes that he's a real
worldly guy, the most experienced in his circle of friends. He's also
on a lot of medication.
Jada Pinkett Smith as Gloria the Hippo, a sassy, hip Hippopotamus with
a big heart and a sharp tongue. Gloria serves as the mediator and the
nurturer of the group
The Penguins (Subsequently billed as The Madagascar Penguins),
consisting of Skipper (Tom McGrath), Rico (John DiMaggio), Kowalski
(Chris Miller), and Private(Christopher Knights), are four penguins
who believe that they are not penguins at all, but instead undercover
agents for a secret government agency. To them it's all just a big
conspiracy, and they spend their days planning an escape that will
take them back to Antarctica. When the penguins do make it to
Antarctica, they are surprised to see a cold, barren land that they do
not like and so, decide to take the ship to what they consider
"paradise": Florida. However, having run out of fuel, they beach the
ship in Madagascar.
