Actually Meg, I also thought about that gasoline thing, ....I think maybe the Penguins or the animals used one of the radio or walkie-talki devices on the boat to call for help--well, I know they can't talk, but they can make animal sounds (like when Alex tried to use the pay phone ) and maybe whoever owned the boat got a signal coming from the pacific ocean and sent out other ships to find the missing boat, and the missing animals!
There, that's my explenation.
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
I agree, the lemurs were my favorite part of the whole film!
It's funny that in the sequel, they'll be going to Africa and meeting their wild counterparts - I heard a lot of people saying how that's what they should have done in the first one.
I liked King Julian as well, but I much more prefer the penguins. There just so cute!
I totally agree Dan!
I love how they walk and how they bounce up and down when they jump.
I love how Skipper says: "Hoover Dam!" I love Private, he's my fave. I think the Christmas short is one of my fave pieces of animation ever.
BTW about King Julian....as mostly everyone knows by now, SBC is Borat.
*Mild Spoiler for Borat*
When Borat talks stuff over with his friend every time something goes wrong....I don't know what language the friend is speaking, but SBC is speaking Hebrew! I understood everything he said. The movie rocked!
But I know it has some, shall we say, "questionable" scenes (to put it mildy) so I won't go into it anymore....

I thought the penguins were more entertaining than King Julain.
