Above is a map of the continent of Africa. Notice how Madagascar is part of Africa.
HELLO! MCFLY!!
Would we say "England: Escape to Europe" or "Key West: Escape to Florida"?! Is Africa still so dark a continent that Americans can't understand 5th grade geography? One working title of the film was Madagascar: The Crate Escape - why not keep that instead of a title that projects such gross ignorance?

Oh, I don't know that I'd get that excited about it. I guess I would consider Madagascar it's own thing. I mean Greenland is technically part of North America, but I wouldn't freak out if someone didn't know that. I guess the question would be do the Africans consider Madagascar to be part of Africa? Otherwise you're just peddling white European notions of geography.
