Featured review
So everyone tells this is the "worst of the series" so I watched this on low expectation but oh my god were the reviews wrong. This is THE best Madagascar film by a long shot. I laughed more in this 1 film than I did with the first 2 COMBINED. The first and second acts are descent but the funny moments make it good. But what makes this scale so much higher than the first 2 for me is the final or 3rd act. The final circus performance is legit very cool with hilarious humor still in tact. I enjoyed it so much that I was straight up clapping how awesome and sick it was. But of course DuBois is just absolutely hilarious and easily the best of the 3. If this had emotions this actually had the chance to be a 10/10. Overall is this the worst? Nah this is by far the best of the series with hilarious humor, really likable new characters especially Stefano, the best villain and this actually fixed some of the problems the first 2 had
Rating: 9.1/10
Madagascar 2 rating: 7.7/10
Madagascar 1 rating: 7.4/10.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen 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(at around 5 mins) 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.
- Crazy creditsPart of the closing credits have the credits spotlighted while the characters perform circus acts.
- Alternate versionsIn 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.
