    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When 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.
    • Goofs
      Considering 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.
    • Quotes

      Alex: [Marty drives a van] What're you doing? Zebras can't drive, only penguins and people can drive!

    • Crazy credits
      DreamWorks Animation Logo, the blue sky and the camera pans down to start the movie since Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008).
    • Alternate versions
      In 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.

    Wild colors, Ridiculous, and Fun

    The gang is back. This time they are trying to return to NY thru Europe. When they get to Monte Carlo, all hell breaks loose and they attract the attention of Animal Control. In order to blend in, they join a traveling circus. Along with the penguins and King Julian, they meet all new characters and have crazy adventures.

    The 3D is fun and the colorful kaleidescope is eye candy to the kids. They'll have fun with this confection. The story is ridiculous, stupid, and funny. The whole family will enjoy it. I brought my little nephews and they liked it.
