Madagascar
3: Europe's Most Wanted is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated comedy film,
produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It is
the third installment of the Madagascar series, a sequel to Madagascar: Escape
2 Africa, and it is the first in the series to be released in 3D. The film is
directed by Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath and Conrad Vernon. Its world premiere was
at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2012.
Alex,
Marty, Melman and Gloria are still struggling to get home to New York. This
time, their journey takes them to Europe, where they are relentlessly pursued
by the murderous Monaco-based French Animal Control officer Captain Chantel
Dubois (Frances McDormand). As a means of getting passage to North America, the
zoo animals join a circus, where they become close friends with the animal
performers, especially Gia (Jessica Chastain), Vitaly (Bryan Cranston) and
Stefano (Martin Short). Together, they spectacularly revitalize the business
and along the way find themselves reconsidering where their true home really
is.
The
film was released on June 8, 2012, to critical and commercial success; it is
the best-reviewed film in the series, with a 79% "Certified Fresh"
approval rating on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. It is also the
highest-grossing Madagascar film with a worldwide gross of over $746 million. A
spin-off sequel titled Penguins of Madagascar was released on November 26,
2014. A sequel, Madagascar 4, was announced for 2018, but it was removed from
its schedule due to the studio's restructuring.
Many
days after bidding the penguins goodbye, Alex the African lion has a nightmare
about himself and his friends still being stranded in Africa and finding that
they have all gotten old. He then wakes up from his nightmare on his birthday
and the animals present him with a miniature model of New York City made out of
mud. Alex suggests to Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, Gloria the
hippopotamus and the lemurs, King Julien, Maurice and Mort, that they should go
to Monte Carlo to get the penguins and the chimpanzees, Mason and Phil, and fly
back to New York City, which they agree to do.
sinopsis
At
Monte Carlo, the penguins and chimpanzees have been saving up their daily
winnings from the casino to fly back to Africa and bring their friends home.
Alex and his gang see them and believe that they had ditched them to stay there
and their cover is blown. Animal control, captained by the overzealous Chantel
Dubois, is called in to deal with the animals. A high-speed chase around the
streets of Monaco ensues between the relentless Dubois and the animals in a
truck driven by the penguins. They barely escape Dubois, who vows to capture
them and add Alex's head to her collection of stuffed and mounted animals.
In
the skies of France, the plane's gear assembly fails and it crashes into a
suburban rail yard as the authorities close in. They come across a circus train
and manage to gain entry, claiming that they are circus animals themselves.
Stefano the sea lion and Gia the jaguar let them in despite the protests of
Vitaly, the tiger. The animals soon learn from Stefano that they are performing
in Rome and London, where they plan to impress a promoter to get them on their
first American tour. Before the zoo animals' claim is discredited, the penguins
suddenly appear with a deal to purchase the circus themselves, resulting in the
pleased departure of all the humans. Julien also starts falling in love with a
tricycle-riding bear named Sonya. Meanwhile, the circus animals perform their act
at the Colosseum in Rome, but the show proves to be a disaster, much to the zoo
animals' horror. The angered audience demands refunds, right to going to the
point of chasing the circus to the departing train.
En
route to London, Stefano soon reveals to Alex that Vitaly was the biggest star
of them all. But his attempt at an impossible jump through a flaming pinkie
ring ended in disaster when he burned his fur, which he had coated in extra
virgin olive oil to slip through the narrow opening. Due to Vitaly's lost
confidence and passion, the other circus animals lost their inspiration. The
train makes a stop in the Alps, where an inspired Alex convinces the performers
to rework their act to become the world's first animal-only circus. Heartened
by Alex's vision, the zoo and the circus animals develop sophisticated acts
together and become closer friends in the process, especially Alex and Gia, who
find themselves falling in love.
Meanwhile,
Dubois is arrested in Rome after causing problems with the local police
officers while chasing the animals, but escapes and discovers that Alex was the
missing lion from the zoo in New York. Once free, Dubois recruits her injured
men and they head toward the Alps, forcing the animals to proceed to London
despite incomplete rehearsals. Alex finds Vitaly preparing to leave and
convinces him to stay by reminding him of how he enjoys performing the
impossible. He suggests that he uses hair conditioner as a safer lubricant to
perform his flaming ring jump as well as fix his damaged fur. As a result,
Vitaly's stunt is performed perfectly and the show is a spectacular success.
After the impressed promoter arranges for an American tour, Dubois shows up
with a paper showing that Alex was missing. Though the penguins are able to foil
Dubois' plan, Alex is forced to confess that the four of them are just zoo
animals trying to get home, disappointing the others who feel used and lied to
by the four of them. The zoo animals and circus develop sophisticated acts
together and become closer friends in the process, especially Alex and Gia, who
find themselves falling in love.

arrive in New York City at the same time. Realizing how much their adventures
have changed them, the zoo animals find that their true home was with the
circus. Before they can go back, however, Dubois tranquilizes and captures
them, before being discovered by the zoo staff, who believe she is responsible
for returning the missing animals. Julien and the penguins manage to get to the
circus and convince the circus animals to rescue their friends.
