Review:

I really enjoyed this movie!! It was great entertainment, a fun story line with lots of great jokes. Was this year’s version of Toy Story 3, but no where near as emotional.  The cast is all back, this time their crazy adventure being in Europe and the jokes are flying as usual!! Some of the best jokes are about Canadians which I found hysterical as they are so untrue but still entertaining. And then there was the scene of the movie, Marty doing the Afro Circus dance!! I lost it, absolutely hysterical despite it being in all the trailer and TV spots, I loved it so much I was walking out of the theater singing that song with my friend for a good five minutes!

Final Thoughts: 

Great family fun with a great voice cast and characters, Madagascar 3 is yet another hilarious adventure featuring everyone’s favourite zoo animals!
