Madagascar 2 | Malay Dub Updated
The Malay dub of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa features multiple versions, including those produced for Astro and HBO Asia, each with distinct voice casts. While the script is translated, certain songs and references remain in English, and these versions are primarily found on television broadcasts rather than physical media. You can find more information about these versions on the Dubbing Database.

- YouTube: Several unofficial uploads exist. Search for "Madagascar 2 Alih Suara BM" or "Madagascar 2 Malay Dubbed Full Movie". Be warned: these are often low-resolution rips from old TV broadcasts, but the audio remains hilarious.
- DVD/VCD Collectors: Go to flea markets (like Amcorp Mall in PJ or Sungai Wang Plaza). Look for the VCD distributed by Berjaya HVN or Alliance Entertainment (M) Sdn Bhd . The cover will have a small blue sticker indicating "Termasuk Alih Suara Bahasa Malaysia" (Includes Malay Voice-over).
- iQiYi or WeTV (Asian platforms): Sometimes these platforms carry legacy dubs. A VPN set to Malaysia might help.
