Exclusive: 'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa' Behind the Scenes Galleries!
Filed under: Animation », Comedy », Fandom », Family Films », Movie Marketing », Images »

Cinematical has received some pretty cool behind the scenes images for the upcoming Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, which is a sequel to the highly popular Madagascar, and stars (in voice form) folks like Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen and more. This time around, our animal friends (and resident zoo-raised New Yorkers) find themselves lost in the vast plains of Africa where they'll encounter more members of their own species for the very first time. But will the open landscapes and freedom dissuade them from trying to return home to the Central Park Zoo?
We have three different galleries for you below, with each taking one particular still image and showing how it goes from nothing to a whole lotta something. Each has captions for you to follow along in the process -- and when you're done, let us know what you think. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa hits theaters on November 7.

Cinematical has received this exclusive poster for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (click to enlarge), a follow-up to the very successful Madagascar. The film, which stars the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith, follows our animal friends as they hatch a plan to get back to New York; more specifically, Central Park. However, when they attempt to fly themselves out, the crew accidentally crash land in the wildest place of all -- the vast plains of Africa itself. While there, they'll get a better feel for their roots, as well as the difference between life in the concrete jungle and life on the world's second largest continent. But with danger right around the corner, will this family reunion be cut short a little too soon? And will our heroes ever return home?
Find out for yourself when Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa arrives in conventional theaters and IMAX on November 7.
