Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the monkeys are dressed up, they go by the name 'King of Versailles'; the actual Kings of France who lived in Versailles palace were Louises XIV, XV, and XVI, the last being infamously married to Marie Antoinette. The license plate of the penguins' car reads EAT CAKE, a quote often attributed to Antoinette.
- GoofsConsidering their extreme difficulties in traveling much shorter distances unaided in the past 2 films (a problem which provides most of the series' humor), it is surprising that no explanation is given for how the animals traveled from southern Africa to Europe fairly easily.
- Crazy creditsDreamWorks Animation Logo, the blue sky and the camera pans down to start the movie since Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008).
- Alternate versionsIn the Australian version of the film, when Marty turns on the radio during the chase through Monaco, it plays "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO instead of "Anyway You Want it" by Journey.

Featured review
Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are back for the third Madagascar movie. This one is the best Madagascar movie in the franchise. It has good animation. Likeable characters, a strong villain and a good use of slapstick humour.
