Madagascar, revisited.

Spoiler warning. Little mention to the plot, though.

I was wrong about the Central Park Zoo. There is indeed a zoo in Central Park but I have never been there. It is okay that I don't know that right? Provided that the park is so huge.

Skipper: What continent is this?
Marty: Manhattan.
Gloria: Well, I heard they have wild open spaces in Connecticut.
Marty: Connecticut?
Melman: Yeah, what you got to do, you got to go over to Grand Central, and then you got to take the MetroNorth train, north?
Marty: So one could take the train. Just hypothetically.
Alex: Marty, come on! What would Connecticut have to offer us?

The song Alex and Marty sing is New York, New York.

Start spreading the news.
I'm leaving today
We are a great big part of it,
New York, New York

Marty skiied at what appreantly the Rockefeller Center.

The animals take the subway at 59 St station. The Lexington Avenue 4, 5, 6 trains serve this station, but they don't run on the same track. Usually, the express trains and local trains use separate platforms. The express trains skip some stations en route. They took the 4 train, which is an express.

Outside the train compartment is an American flag shown under the car number, which is the same as the real trains. Features that match the real trains are the door close chimes and priority seating label on seats. The subway map in the train is not placed that way, and the subway map is not the real subway map.

The train announcement isn't clear, which is usually the case.

Most subway stations have tile arts. The station name is often made with little tiles put together.

Grand Central Station/42 St, has the 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains. Just not on the same platform.

At the information booth in the Grand Central Terminal, there are signs showing the name of Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its logo. MTA is the state agency in charge of the Transit and MetroNorth.

Alex: This is the fun side! This is the fun side. We are going to have a great time surviving until we go home. I love this side. This side is the best. That side's stinks. You are on the Jersey side...

Do you notice the music of National Geographic and Dead Already from American Beauty?
