Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

The wild adventure is on high gear in this latest 3D installment of Madagascar 3.

Lion Alex (Ben Stiller), zebra Marty (Chris Rock), giraffe Melman (David Schwimmer) and hippo Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) make Europe's most wanted list. While pursued by the relentless Captain Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand), they find refuge at a traveling circus where they meet Siberian tiger boss Vitaly (Bryan Cranston), seal Stefano (Martin Short) and Jaguar Gia (Jessica Chastain). The circus is also where lemur King Julien XIII (Sascha Baron Cohen) becomes infatuated with Sonya the tricycle riding bear in a tutu.

The feature maintains its stylistic simplicity, with talented voice cast and colorful, fast paced action. Spectacular circus dynamics make great use of 3D. New to the series are the circus characters as well as Captain DuBois. In the role of a crazed animal control officer, McDormand's portrayal is particularly captivating and entertaining.

Through heart and humor, Madagascar 3 amuses the young audience with relatable universal themes such as friendship and team work.
