**MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!**
It's been four years since the last installment of the successful "Madagascar" franchise. In "Madagascar 3", we're reunited with Alex the lion, Melman the giraffe, Gloria the hippo, and Marty the zebra. Though most franchises eventually seem tired and worn-out, this one continues the excellence set by its predecessors and takes you on a great ride throughout Europe.
The movie starts off where the second one left off. The gang is still stuck in Africa, with the penguins and chimps having left to Monte Carlo and make it big. Marty and the rest journey there as well to pick up the penguins and the chimps and head back to New York and the Central Park Zoo. However, things don't go according to plan and they incur the wrath of the Animal Control Captain Chantel DuBois, who they then lead on a wild ride throughout Europe with their new circus friends, who then take over the story, as they must get the circus back to form.
The movie itself is hilarious and arguably the funniest out of all of them, with King Julian's love affair with Sonya the bear being one of the best and funniest romances I've seen in a long time. The story itself does a great job of carrying the movie along and definitely makes you care for all of the characters, both old and new. The creative team did a spectacular job with the circus performances. They're breathtaking and definitely the best sequences in the movie. If you haven't yet, I highly recommend checking this out before it leaves the theaters.
