Feeling betrayed and lied to, the circus animals eject the foursome.Īfter King Julien and Sonya get into an argument, the zoo and circus animals go their separate ways but arrive in Central Park at the same time. However, the printed document she was carrying reveals that Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria were zoo animals all along. DuBois shows up and the penguins manage to foil her attempt to capture Alex. The show is a spectacular success, and the promoter signs the circus to a contract. At Alex's suggestion, Vitaly lubricates himself with hair conditioner and succeeds in jumping through the hoop from all those years ago. In London, Vitaly is afraid of failing again and is about to run away, but Alex helps him rediscover his passion for performing the impossible. Meanwhile, DuBois escapes from prison and resumes her pursuit before printing a document which shows a photo of Alex performing at the Central Park Zoo. Gia persuades Alex to teach her " Trapeze Americano" and the two begin to fall in love.

Marty and Stefano find a new passion in being shot out of a cannon, while Melman and Gloria become adept at dancing together on a tightrope. Alex convinces the circus animals to come up with a new and exciting all-animal act that will restore their former glory. However, an accident during one of Vitaly's stunts caused him to lose his passion and the entire circus suffered as a result. Stefano explains to Alex that the circus was once famous and Vitaly was its star, skillfully jumping through ever-smaller hoops. The performance at the Colosseum in Rome is a disaster: the animals' acts go awry and they are chased off by the angry audience. DuBois pursues King Julien and Sonya, but fails to catch them and is arrested. In Rome, Alex becomes enamored with Gia while King Julien falls in love with performing bear Sonya. To allay suspicion, the penguins purchase the circus from its human ringmaster. The circus is headed for a performance in Rome, followed by one in London where they hope to impress an American promoter in order to get their first American tour. The circus animals-a sea lion named Stefano, a jaguar named Gia, and a tiger named Vitaly-are suspicious of outsiders, so Alex lies about them being American circus animals. When their plane crashes in France, the animals board a departing circus train. Chaos ensues, and the animals barely escape from Chantel DuBois, a merciless Animal Control officer who is determined to add Alex's head to her taxidermy collection. They find the penguins and chimpanzees at the Monte Carlo Casino. When they do not return, Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, King Julien, Maurice and Mort decide that they should go find them and return to their home at the Central Park Zoo in New York City. įollowing the events of the previous film, the penguins and the chimpanzees leave Africa for Monte Carlo in their modified airplane. A sequel, Madagascar 4, was initially planned for a 2018 theatrical release, but was removed from the release schedule following a restructuring of DreamWorks Animation in 2015. A spin-off titled Penguins of Madagascar was released in 2014. It was the eighth highest-grossing film of 2012 and the highest-grossing film in the franchise, with a worldwide gross of over $746 million. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival on May 18, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 8, 2012. In the film, the main characters-a party of animals from the Central Park Zoo whose adventures have already taken them to Madagascar and Africa-attempt to return to New York, and find themselves traveling across Europe with a circus while being pursued by a relentless Animal Control officer.
