About the Film

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is a 2012 American animated comedy produced by DreamWorks Animation. The group escapes by joining a struggling European circus, where they must learn circus acts to blend in while helping the troupe rediscover its passion. The circus performance sequences, set to Katy Perry's "Firework" and featuring dazzling, neon-colored acts designed by the animals, were the franchise's most visually spectacular set pieces.

Frances McDormand's DuBois, singing Edith Piaf while pursuing the animals through the streets of Monte Carlo, was a comedic highlight. Madagascar 3 earned $747 million worldwide on a $145 million budget, the franchise's highest gross.
