Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (Music from the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack album to the 2008 film Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, the second instalment in the Madagascar franchise. Released on November 4, 2008 by Interscope Records, the album featured original score composed by Hans Zimmer, who teamed up with American rapper will.i.am to produce the songs and score. will.i.am also wrote five new songs specifically for the film, while other incorporated songs were included in the film's soundtrack. The music received generally favorable critical response.[1]
Filmtracks.com wrote "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa remains the best entry for the infectiously cute main escape theme. In an ideal world, the best score material from all three films would be combined into one rollicking album."[5] Andrew Leahey of AllMusic wrote "The Madagascar series relies heavily on music, often injecting songs directly into the movies' plot lines, and that emphasis helps fine-tune this soundtrack into a lighthearted, pleasant album."[6] In contrast, Jonathan Broxton gave a negative review, calling it as the "worst soundtrack written for any major animated film of recent years".[7]
DreamWorks and PDI began developing an animated film titled Rockumentary, featuring a Beatles-esque penguin rock band, and was set to be directed by Darnell, after he finished his work on Antz (1998). The idea was scrapped in 2001, but Darnell decided to revive the penguins, albeit with a commando unit instead rather than a rock band after production on Madagascar started. The film features several songs from various artists, with musical score being composed by Hans Zimmer. It also has the cover of "I Like to Move It" by Cohen, which has since become a recurring theme song throughout the franchise.
Released on May 27, 2005, Madagascar received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the visuals and charm but criticized the story and humor. Despite the mixed reviews, it was a success at the box office, grossing $556.6 million on a production budget of $75 million, becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of 2005. The success of Madagascar launched a multimedia franchise, which includes two sequels as well as the spin-off film Penguins of Madagascar (2014); several short films, television series and specials; and a number of video games, theme park attractions and live stage shows, starting with Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008).
Madagascar was released on VHS on November 15, 2005 and on Blu-Ray & DVD on May 13, 2012 by DreamWorks Pictures, DreamWorks Home Entertainment and ARC Entertainment.[14][15] The DVD included a short animated film The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper, and a music video "I Like to Move It", featuring characters from the film dancing to the song.[16][17] A Blu-ray version of the film was released on September 23, 2008 - May 6, 2012 by Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment.

Madagascar is just filled with ear worms.
- Hans Zimmer's main theme is both adventurous, frantic, and funny all at the same time, with the same "lemmings running off a cliff" quality of The Simpsons theme.
- King Julien's version of "I Like To Move It", performed by Sacha Baron Cohen. It's an incredibly hilarious and catchy song, and it fits the lemurs' partying perfectly. Will I. Am only adds to this in the sequel, as does Chris Rock's "Afro Circus" in the third film.
- Will I. Am's "The Traveling Song" melds with the main theme perfectly in Back 2 Africa. Hans Zimmer did the music for the first film, and teaming him up with will.i.am, who is largely a hip-hop producer and singer, is the musical equivalent of Kingdom Hearts.
- Yes, that really is Frances McDormand singing "Non Je Ne Regrette Rien".
- Vitaly's theme song (and Theme Music Power-Up), "Light the Hoop on Fire", complete with a men's chorus of Soaring Russian Chanting. You can tell Hans Zimmer was scoring it again.
- "We No Speak Americano" while the penguins are operating on the train, complete with Kowalski jumping on Private, Rico bashing a pipe and all four of them puffing steam to the beat of the song.
- Heitor Pereira's stripped-down Sweet Dreams Fuel version of "Best Friends" for the second movie's soundtrack.
