Critic Reviews

Justin Chang, Variety
This is the rare animated property that has consistently improved on its ho-hum origins.
Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
Yes, it's a cartoon, but it's conspicuously unmodulated, with the volume set on high and the pacing all but pushed to fast-forward.
Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is a most welcome addition to summer and a great addition to a moneymaking franchise that seems as good as new.
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Third chapter (and first in 3D) in the popular franchise benefits from fast pacing, bright colors, dazzling circus acts, vigorous villain, and some new charcaters.
Mark Adams, Screen International
A bright and breezy jaunt through Europe that delivers enough laughs, action and thrillingly staged adventure to keep the young ones happy.
