What Do Madagascar 2 Escape to Africa Happy Meal Toys Say

The McDonalds Madagascar 2 toys each come with a sound chip activated by a switch on the back of the toy and tilting the happy meal toy. Each character toy says up to three phrases from the Madagascar 2 movie.

So many people keep asking me what do the McDonalds Madagascar Escape 2 Africa happy meal toys say as you do have to listen quite hard to get what they are saying.

    Gloria the Hippo says:

  • “Alrighty boys,”
  • “Let’s go”
  • “I know that’s right!”


  • Moto Moto the Hippo says:

  • “I know I’m every hippo’s dream”
  • “Wow.”
