All week we’ve introduced you to all the characters for the film. In today’s final installment, we look at three old friends who’ve we’ve known from the first MADAGASCAR film.

Mort

Ever faithful Mort will sacrifice almost anything (including himself) to gain the favor of his highness King Julien, but his constant dedication puts him in some sticky situations thanks to the boastful lemur king.

The Penguins

Stealthy and adventurous, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private sneak through Europe on a mission.  They cook up a clever plan to help the Zoosters hijack a European traveling circus and turn it into a true three ring adventure.

Mason, Phil and the Rest of the Chimps

After taking Monaco and the casino by storm, the Chimps become circus operators — transforming a run-down European circus into a Madagascar-styled spectacular.

MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED has been rated PG for some mild action and rude humor by the MPAA.

Talk about taking the long way home…

In the third installment of the billion-dollar “Madagascar” franchise, Alex (Ben Stiller), Marty (Chris Rock), Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Melman (David Schwimmer) are determined to make their way back to The Central Park Zoo in New York City. Leaving Africa behind, they’ve taken a detour and surfaced, quite literally, in Europe — on a hunt for the penguins and chimps who have managed to break the bank of a Monte Carlo casino. Soon the animals are discovered by dogged French animal control officer Capitaine Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand) who does not appreciate zoo animals running wild in her city and is thrilled by the idea of hunting her first lion! The Zoosters find the perfect cover in a down-and-out traveling circus where they hatch a plan to reinvent the circus, discover a few new talents and make it home to New York alive.

For the first time in 3D, the Zoosters of Madagascar are on the run, hiding out with the circus, doing death defying tricks and making new friends.
