Bad Kitty!
―Nana.

Nana is an older woman and Alex's rival. She is a minor character in Madagascar and one of the two main antagonists in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. She was voiced by Elisa Gabrielli.

Background[]

Personality[]

Nana seems to be incredibly resistant to injury as she was able to have a short fight with Alex right after being tugged out of the back of a speeding tour jeep (as well as being thrown out of it a second time by the Penguins, who reversed over her in the jeep after noticing that she didn't die). However, despite this evident resilience, Nana is still portrayed as a "little old lady".

And the real reason that she had completely uncontrolled actions would be because it has high and extreme levels of physical abilities, great lack of difficulties and physical disadvantages to express their shares, which makes the great lack of his actions were extremely high, to be able to express these actions in inappropriate situations due to excessive proactivity, and she does it all the time in innumerable moments.

Weapons[]

Nana has a waddling gait and is knocked onto her back when firing a rifle.

Appearances[]

Madagascar[]

In the first movie, Nana is an elderly human female who encounters Alex the Lion in Grand Central Station, where she assaults him and angrily calls him a "bad kitty". She also hits Melman with her handbag, causing his head to get stuck in the Grand Central Station Clock. When the animals are surrounded by police, she somehow gets past and kicks Alex in "the batteries" (or his groin). She was quickly taken away by the police. As shown in the sequel, she was not arrested, as she was interviewed as a witness.

The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper[]

In the Madagascar short A Christmas Caper, she buys Private as a Christmas present for her dog Mr. Chew, thinking he's a chew toy. The penguins set in to save him from Mr. Chew and end up rhamsacking her house. She then blames Mr. Chew for all the destruction that he has caused.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa[]

In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Nana has a larger role, where she is the secondary antagonist. She becomes the leader of an army of tourists. She gets into another fight with Alex, and wins again, although Alex puts up much more of a fight this time. At the end of the film, Alex gives Makunga Nana's handbag. When Nana sees Makunga holding it, she starts kicking, stepping, hand-whacking, wet-willying, arm-burning, and spanking him before taking him away. The DVD commentary for the film reveals that Nana took Makunga back to New York in her kitty cage.

Quotes[]

Trivia[]

  • However another Nana is seen in Shrek called Old Woman.
  • In the movie "Escape 2 Africa", one of the tourist called her one tough cookie, and she responds by saying: "Brownies, troop 416, Yonkers". There is really a girl-scout group called the Brownie Scouts in certain cities in America, but it was never explained if she's a former member of them, a den-mother, or just comparing herself to a literal cookie. (Possibly all three, as she has great camping skills and is perky despite getting everyone lost in the wild looking for shelter).
  • She did not appear in Madagascar 3, so she possibly died of old age.
