MADAGASCAR 3 COMING

MADAGASCAR 3: Europe’s Most Wanted (also known as Madagascar 3) is a 2012 American 3D computeranimated comedy film, produced by DreamWorks Animation, and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

It is the third instalment of the series, following Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and it is the first film in the series to be released in 3D. The film is directed by Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath and Conrad Vernon.

Madagascar 3 will be screened at Liberty Kollupitiya from June 29.

It is the best-reviewed Madagascar film, in a series that has steadily improved with each installment of the series, as the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes gives a 76% “Certified Fresh” approval rating.

The story continues from the events of the second film. Alex (Ben Stiller) has a nightmare about himself and his friends still stranded in Africa and finding they have all gotten old. Awaking from his dream, Alex suggests to Marty (Chris Rock), Melman (David Schwimmer), and Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) that they should go to Monte Carlo to get the penguins to fly them back to New York City, which they agree to.

In Monte Carlo, the penguins and the two chimpanzees, Mason and Phil (disguising as the King of Versailles), keep winning in gambling until Alex’s gang’s attempt to reach them blunders and sparks chaos in the Hotel De Paris. Hotel security calls Monaco Animal Control officer Captain Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand) to deal with the animals. But rather than capture them live, DuBois desires them, mainly Alex, dead as trophies. During a highspeed chase between the relentless DuBois and the animals in a truck driven by the penguins to reach their aircraft, the animals barely manage to elude her.
