Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple. Their journey takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, which they reinvent - Madagascar style. TIME Magazine calls Madagascar 3 "A three dream circus. A real fun movie." (Richard Corliss) "Hilarious! The best 'Madagascar' yet!" (Pete Hammond, BOXOFFICE Magazine) "Charming and very funny." (Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun Times) Madagascar 3 is the funny, action-filled third installment in the popular animated Madagascar franchise. The film opens with the penguins and lemur King Julien XIII flying off in a monkey-powered plane to visit the casinos of Monte Carlo, leaving Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman back in Africa awaiting their return. When the penguins don't come back, the lion, zebra, hippo, and giraffe go after them and descend on the casino in their typically bumbling fashion. Silliness and comedy abound, but the plot drags a bit through this section of the film until the introduction of Captain DuBois, an animal control officer with some serious tracking skills and an obsession with acquiring a lion head for her wall. The story and action really begin in earnest when Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman join up with a traveling circus in an attempt to elude DuBois. The sense of conflict, humor on both kid and adult levels, and suspense is fantastic as the foursome go to great lengths to impress the veteran circus animals and improve the struggling circus's show to win a coveted American tour contract. Each of the animals learns some important lessons about taking risks, believing in oneself, and finding and pursuing one's passion along the journey. But when it looks like the group's dream of returning to the New York Zoo may finally be within grasp, the quartet discover that they can never truly go back to the way things used to be--and more surprisingly, that perhaps none of them really wants to. (Ages 6 and older) --Tami Horiuchi Review: Hilarious - Awesome movie. We love the Madagascar movies. Very fun and funny to watch. Review: Great 3D blu-ray for the family - After watching this on DVD from Netflix, I realized very quickly that this would probably be even better in 3D Blu-Ray. Just finsihed watching it and i have to say that this is hands down the best animated 3D movie in my library. 3D has always been gimmicky.. but thats what makes it fun. It adds a little extra enjoyment to our family movie nights. The added 3D effects on this movie is just great. So much fun to watch. Well worth it the buy.

Am I on Drugs or What?
This movie was a Complete Blast!!! I'm a full grown adult here and this movie was THE Best Ever over the other two! The story line was very adequate, no issue there, but the continuous action in much of the movie completely kept my attention glued, (no house cleaning or ironing watching this!!) the Script(!!)--Hilarious!!--the quips-just kept on coming, the characters--really well rounded, Penguins---my crack up favorite(!), and the Colors in the artistry and backgrounds---for awhile there I thought someone slipped me some LSD right there in theatre! Especially the circus sequence where Katy Perry's song 'Firework' comes on and that was the Perfect song for that part!! (I won't even say how many times I've watched that sequence on dvd with my lap top computer in my face and speakers blaring!) Yes I had a Blast laughing and watching this movie at the theatre (and fortunately the rest of audience seemed to enjoy it as well!), so of course it's a dvd keeper. A kid's show? Sure but somebody is thinking of us adults!

Fun Family Movie.
We upgraded to a 3D TV when we moved a year ago. The new style glasses needed for it are easier on the eyes than the old blue and red lenses they used to do 3D in, and we have enjoyed the depth added to the picture by the 3D. The multi-pack allows for us to watch the movie on other devices that are not 3D capable. The story is good enough to hold Mom and Dad's interest and fun enough to hold our kids' interests. So, it has been a great show to added to the new collection of 3D movies we are building up.

Subreference Spectacular!
I'm the dad reviewing here: Super fun, ridiculous movie. Story line was so-so. That's okay though. Why? Because the characters both old and new were so endearing and well-developed that it doesn't really matter. No kid says "I love the continuity in that subplot about the relationship between King Julien and the bear." No. It's more like "It was funny. Polka-dot Polka-dot Polka-dot Afro!" and it was way funnier than I expected for installment 3. The subreferences to The Matrix, Bond films, and Cirque de Soleil, and zillions of other little things, I was in stitches several times. Actually my kids looked at me sideways wondering what the heck. In addition, the incredible fine details make it worth getting HD, or Bluray. I know I'm gushing, but I don't care -- this series has given me so many good laughs they deserve it. Basset hound! Update 10/17/2012-- I watched it again, on my little Kindle screen, to recover from an episode of Walking Dead. It did the trick, but was so funny I ended up watching the whole thing. The penguins are still the most witty.

Great movie!
Great movie! Continues with the same characters that we loved from the other movies. Spoiler alert! Tired of waiting for the penguins the seek after to find them. When they find them gambling they are accidentally seen. The people call a lady who hunts animals. They tell her about the lion and then she’s ready to add his head to her wall of animals. All of the animals are trying to run away they find a circus and go with them. When they are going to be kicked out the penguins buy the entire circus. This circus use to be really good but something happened and now they are having a hard time. The team gets them back to where they are doing really good and doing new things. Their desire is back. During all this time they are still being hunted. Will the hunter find them? You’ll have to watch to see the end!
