Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies A sugar high that inevitably fades with time. Rated: 2/5 Oct 24, 2012 Full Review London Evening Standard This is animation that never just goes through the motions but glories in its feats and so, almost certainly, will you. Rated: 3/5 Oct 19, 2012 Full Review Jack Fleischer Battleship Pretension Madagascar 3 isn't an emotional ride the way Pixar's films tend towards, but it's relentlessly goofy fun. Good for some laughs, I say take a small person and see what happens. Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com May very well become America's most wanted film this first weekend in June. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin I will not call watching the movie a bad experience. But to be honest with you, that's not saying much.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review TROY S This one is the best Madagascar movie in the franchise. It has good animation. Likeable characters, a strong villain and a good use of slapstick humour. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Christian N This Movie is well-known to be the perfect, fantastic, fun-fulfilling, funny movie of all the madagascar franchise of all time, But this movie would be the Best of the Best films of all time In 3D.
