Audio problem: When they're standing on the breaking ice, as Peter points his sword at Maugrim, Susan shouts, "Look, just because some man in a red coat hands you a sword doesn't make you a hero.

(01:14:15)

Audio problem: In the scene where Victor plays the piano for the first time in the movie, we hear him playing long, sustained notes, which obviously need to be played with a pedal down. However, he doesn't use the sustain pedal. What's more strange is, the piano does not even have a sustain pedal.

Madagascar picture

Robots picture

Audio problem: During the scene where Jack Hammer is sold out, the 'bin robot' says 'Hey, isn't that the guy that fixed Fender's neck?' Next someone in the crowd says 'Yeah, that g-ixes bots!'
