Plot hole: When Dubois attempts to kidnap Alex using the tranquilizer, she is brought to a halt by several different zoo staff thanking her for returning him. The entire first movie's plot is based on them being stranded on Madagascar after being on a ship that was intended to take them away. The actions of the animals at the train station were on the news, and a large gathering of sorts was held to show that the animals were leaving the zoo. Therefore, no one should have reacted this way to his return.

Revealing mistake: When Alex says they should go find the penguins, he says "To home" and Marty, Melman, Gloria and Julien place their hands on top of his hand. In the next shot it shows all of them together. But due to the position of Julien and his arm length, it would have been impossible for Julien to have his hand fully placed on Alex's hand. (00:05:05)
