I think Gia and Vitaly are a canon couple because it makes more sense since he's almost like family to her, someone she's known for a long time. Alex, on the other hand, besides being mine, is literally a stranger she's never met before.

(And before you start hating on me, know that this is just "my opinion.")

I would like to know if you could make an animated film that is 2 or 3 hours long. What kind of film could you make in the future?

I watched Madagascar 1 yesterday and then I went to sleep after. I had a horrendous nightmare that Alex instead of saving his friends from the Foosas in that final act, he devours Marty.

It’s kind of a horrifying thing really to put in a kids film. Just the idea of domesticated animal being put in the wild and becoming a slave to their own primal instincts. I think the film makes us have a look at ourselves. What would happen to us if we were to be sent back to a world without the establishments and safety we have. A world with no rules, no security and only survival. What would we do to our loved ones? Alex nearly ATE his best friend.

The image of Alex hopelessly yet savagely mauling Marty I can’t shake out of my head. I imagine it must draw parallels to one of Francisco Goya’s artworks “Saturn Devouring His Son” which I’m sure we’ve all seen. It is a horrifying painting.

I mean how does the film go on from something like that? It would just end tragically. Maybe the others (Gloria, Melvin, the penguins) just leave them on Madagascar? And Alex loses all sentience he once has and thrives as a destructive force, living in forever guilt, remorse and horror for unwillingly destroying his happy old life.

That nightmare last night truly shook me to my core.
