How do you top an animated franchise about a group of animals who escaped from the Central Park Zoo in New York to return to their roots in Africa only to experience more adventures? Simple, bring them to another continent, join other animals in the circus and enhance it through 3D!!Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is one fast-paced animated film with characters that moviegoers of all ages that saw the first two films adore; from Ben Stiller's Alex the Lion, Chris Rock's Marty the Zebra, Jada Pinkett Smith's Gloria the Hippo, David Schwimmer's Melman the giraffe and Sacha Baron Cohen's King Julien following the ever cute Penguins as they attempt to get some loot from a Monte Carlo casino and joining a travelling circus across the continent to escape the wrath of Animal Protection head Capitaine Chantel DuBois, voiced by Frances Mc Dormand, the main protagonist. Inspired by Cruella DeVil mixed with a bloodhound's mannerisms, she is one of the best animated villains that came out in recent memory.
New characters are introduced using the circus as the backdrop and it's perfect!! I saw the film in 3D and it truly utilized the technology especially in the circus scenes.
There has been a void in animated films the last couple of months with Dr.Seuss' The Lorax being only the certified box office hit and The Pirates: Band of Misfits hardly making noise despite being critically acclaimed. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted will likely bridge the gap.
