A sugar high that inevitably fades with time.

Sophie Monks Kaufman
Little White Lies
This is animation that never just goes through the motions but glories in its feats and so, almost certainly, will you.

London Evening Standard
Here is a family movie from which absolutely nothing is expected, and yet it's one of the week's best releases: a muscular, potent and very funny film.

You don't have to be a child of four to enjoy this series, but it helps.

May very well become America's most wanted film this first weekend in June.

I will not call watching the movie a bad experience. But to be honest with you, that's not saying much.

This movie is bright and busy with plenty of bells and whistles, but quickly wanes, despite its best effort.

Micheal Compton
Bowling Green Daily News
The animation is largely excellent -- particularly in the circus sequences -- and the colorful, vibrant visuals look especially impressive in 3D.

Once Madagascar 3 starts focusing on being a kids' movie, it's really quite cute.

Audience Reviews for Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Apr 24, 2014

It was alright for a kids film. But I kept thinking Ben Stiller (Adam) sounded like Ted Mosby, which really made for a big distraction.

Angela A Super Reviewer
Oct 30, 2013

Easily the best among the three.

Maymay A Super Reviewer
Jun 11, 2013

Sweet and funny just as the prequels. I knew nothing would go wrong with the sequels.

NaWie M Super Reviewer

Actually the best of the three. Had more laughs and heart than the other two films combined.
