A running gag in the episode is that Skipper's friends are confused and convinced he's crazy when they see him talk to Alex, since only Skipper can see him. At first, Skipper thought he was very talkative and annoying, but soon he accepted his guidance, especially when he had to face Blowhole when he got back to New York City. In the show, he appeared as a hallucination "spirit guide" to help Skipper, whose memories had been stolen by the evil dolphin known as Dr. Blowhole." Wally Wingert reprises his role from the first video game. Alex is shown to have a superhuman level of physical strength, seeing that he broke the zoo's public telephone, and lifts Melman, Marty and Gloria with relative ease.Īlex made another appearance in "The Return of the Revenge of Dr. The fact that Alex loses the challenge to Teentsi and is spanked by Nana in Madagascar gives him the impression he is a horrible fighter, but this is not true, because (in the Nana case), she only gets Alex by surprise, but was more visible when in Madagascar 2, he has a short fight against Nana. Alex has small cameos with his friends celebrating Christmas and singing an alternate version of " Jingle Bells". In The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper, a stuffed animal Alex is seen briefly and its head is quickly dismembered by Nana's toy poodle, Mr. His father learns to respect his habits, and they remain in Africa instead of flying home with the penguins. With the help of others, the dam is destroyed and they return to the preserve. Alex discovers that the stranded New Yorkers had created a dam, and through the use of dancing, he is recognized by the attacking New Yorkers. They leave the safety of the reserve, prompting Zuba to follow Alex and bring him back. The next day, the watering hole is shown to be dried up and Alex leaves with Marty to find out the cause. Zuba soon grows unaccepting of Alex after realizing he is not a fierce warrior. To keep from banishing Alex, Zuba transfers his control to Makunga, and in turn, he, Florrie, and Alex are banished. Teentsi was revealed to be a bulky, strong lion and Alex is quickly defeated by him. Makunga ( Alec Baldwin), Zuba's rival, persuades Alex to challenge Teentsi during the Alex's rite of passage. Zuba assumes Alex is strong after hearing he is the "King" of New York and arranges a rite of passage into the pride. In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Alex encounters his parents, Zuba and Florrie ( Sherri Shepherd), who are overjoyed to see their son and he becomes co-alpha lion alongside his father. Alex works to defend Marty and is later given sushi by the penguins to satiate his hunger. Marty pursues him, unwilling to leave his friend, but is attacked by the fossa, the native predators of Madagascar. Hunger drives Alex into a crazed state, and after almost killing Marty in hunger, in a moment of lucidity, he goes into self-imposed exile, barricading himself in fossa territory. He grows very hungry after days of being unable to eat, not realizing that steak is animal flesh. They wash ashore on Madagascar, and, while Marty is excited to be free, Alex wishes to go home. The animal-rights activists pressure the zoo into releasing them back into the wild, but on the ship to the preserve, Alex and his friends fall into the ocean. In Madagascar, after Marty, Alex's best friend, leaves in an effort to take a train to the wild, Alex, Gloria the Hippopotamus (voiced by Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the Giraffe (voiced by David Schwimmer) pursue him and are shot with tranquilizer darts by humans. He is found by humans who renamed him Alex and took him to the Central Park Zoo. During one of the sessions, Alex was captured by poachers, but the crate he was contained in fell into a river and eventually floated to New York. He was the only son of the alpha lion, Zuba (voiced by Bernie Mac), and was constantly given lessons on hunting, though he displayed no interest in the activity. As a cub, Alex was born on an African wildlife reserve, and was named Alakay. He does tend to be a little self-absorbed, often not seeing the problems of others above his own.Īlex enjoys his life at the zoo and has plenty of friends and is surprised when hearing Marty's wish to leave and live in the wild (or run free in Connecticut as stated in the movie). He is a dancer by nature, often impressing others with his aerobatic feats. He's smart, quick thinking and fast on his feet. He is used to the life of comfort in the zoo but learns to adapt to the wild. He is best friends with Marty (voiced by Chris Rock). Wally Wingert (first video game, spin-offs, Ride Attractions)Ĭrispin Freeman (second and third video games, All Hail King Julien, DreamWorksTV Animations, Ride Attractions, Commercials)Īlex (born Alakay) is a male African lion.
