Madagascar

About This Product A four-week Bible study series based on the movie Madagascar. Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippo all live at the Central Park Zoo in New York. They are the best of friends and love being celebrities in the eyes of the zoo's visitors. One day, though, Marty decides he'd like a taste of life outside the zoo.
