in 2005, dreamworks studios used the song in its first installment of the "madagascar" franchise. british comedian sacha baron cohen was cast to voice the character of king julien xiii and perform his rendition of the song. "madagascar"'s use of "i like to move it" in the film, made the song a popular anthem for millions of viewers worldwide. producer will.i.am duplicated the mad stuntman's style for his character moto moto in "madagascar 2", while acclaimed comedian/actor chris rock gave a colorful mash-up performance of the song, "afro circus/i like to move it" as marty the zebra in "madagascar 3: europe's most wanted".

claudia wells, who had played marty mcfly's girlfriend jennifer parker in the first film, was to reprise her role, but turned it down due to personal issues. the producers cast elisabeth shue instead, which involved re-shooting the closing scenes of the first film for the beginning of "part ii". the re-shot sequence is a near shot-for-shot match with the original, with only minor differences: for example, doc noticeably hesitates before reassuring marty that his future self is fine – something he did not do in the first film. marty is also wearing a watch in the second film whereas he was not in the first.
