• Movie Goof (anachronisms): The newspaper headline showing Alex being rescued from his crate is dated 'April 8, 1972', yet World Trade Center 2 was not completed until 1973. This would also put Alex's current age at around 36.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): In fight between the old lady an Alex on the African road, at the end, we see a shot of the bus directly behind them, but after the fight, the old lady walks quite a ways to get to the bus.
• Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): The title, "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa," might appear to be misleading since Madagascar can be considered part of the African continent. However, whether Madagascar is strictly part of Africa is perhaps geographically debatable, and certainly politically debatable. Technically, Madagascar is an island east of Africa. Politically, there is no pan-African government, and attempts to have Madagascar integrated into the African Union have historically been abortive. Furthermore, considering the various botched plans involved in the plot, the filmmakers undoubtedly intended the subtitle "Escape 2 Africa" to be somewhat ironic.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): The birth mark on Alex's paw was never seen in Madagascar.
