Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Audio problem: During the escape from Monte Carlo they all drive a van off a roof to land on the roof of the Hotel Ambassador. Captain DuBois drives her bike of the same roof to catch them. While she is in airborne she jumps off her bike onto the roof of the Hotel Ambassador and the bike falls to the ground. Yet we don't even hear the bike landing on the ground at no point despite the fall only taking a few moments. (00:17:35)

Casual Person

Other mistake: In the scene where Vitaly jumps the flaming hoop again, in the shot before he says to light the hoop on fire, if you look at the dogs you can see that three of them do not look like they do in the rest of the movie. One of them even looks completely different.

Question: How come Alex's parents or any other character from the last movie don't make, at least, a small appearance in this movie? I know that Bernie Mac, who voiced Zuba, is dead, but can somebody explain Zuba and Florrie's fate?

Answer: They don't make an appearance because they were irrelevant to the story. The decision to go back home would have been made with or without any character introduced in the previous movie, so they were simply not included. Alex's parents would have continued to live in Africa after Alex and the others left.

Casual Person

That makes no sense though because (I know it's a kids movie) but the way they portray it, it makes it seem like Alex doesn't care about leaving his parents and what he just recently realised is his birth home. Like, it feels like there was some necessary dialogue there (probably not for the kids though).

Answer: They don't appear because Zuba's voice actor, Bernie Mac, passed away and their absence was done out of respect for him.
