Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted [PG]


In the third installment of this beloved animated series, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe just want to get home to New York after being stranded on the shores of Madagascar. But no voyage is complete without a little adventure!

Along the way, their journey takes them through Europe and to a traveling circus. Your kids will get a kick out of the zany, hysterical story-line that involves all of their favorite characters joining up with the circus animals for one unforgettable act — Madagascar-style, of course.

In theaters now.
