The Madagascar crew have joined the circus all in a bid to get home to New York - and their adventure is filled with colour, energy, chaos, friendship and love.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is the latest of the animated adventures of Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Gloria the hippo, Melman the giraffe, King Julien, Maurice and Penguins.

The lovable zoo animals are embarking on their journey to get back to their New York zoo, which takes them through Europe, joining and owning a travelling circus and trying to escape a crazy and intense French animal control officer who tracks them down no matter where they go.

The child-friendly film is super amusing - especially the antics created by King Julien - and will definitely entertain the children, and the adults who have followed each journey of the Madagascar crew.

With determination, a few white lies and some urgency as they try to avoid the animal control officer who wants Alex the lion's head as a trophy they finally make their journey.

However, when the Madagascar crew finally arrive back home, they realise it's not exactly what they're looking for.

Madagascar 3 is a lot of fun and their new adventures with their zoo friends are cute and at times a little intense and can even pull at the heart strings. Watch it in 2D and 3D.
