If you are willing to surrender to the joys of animated comedy, 'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' is well worth a look, and, this time, the animals are on the run in Europe.

After the crazy mess the animals left in Monte Carlo, the unrelenting Monaco Animal Control Officer Captain Chantel DuBois is determined to take their heads as trophies. Alex, the lion, and his friends hide on a circus train to escape and invest everything hoping to follow the circus back to New York City. But the once famous circus has lost its shine, and the Madagascar crew need to get them back on their feet.

The third installment of the Madagascar series, Europe's Most Wanted is a showcase of new tricks. While the major characters from previous installments remain, new circus animal faces are introduced, a move to keep viewers interested and an effective way to create a completely new story. The CGI in Madagascar 3 has anatural advantage in delivering the colorful circus setting, and the 3D technology just adds to the thrill.

The powerful visuals are aided by Hans Zimmer's soundtrack. The climax of a perfect circus show accompanied by Katy Perry's Firework really helps to give the film a special atmosphere. The show stuns your eyes, assaults your ears, and gets right to your heart.

One of the highlights of the film was perhaps Captain Chantel DuBois's rendition of "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien." The fierce officer, dubbed by Frances McDormand, stole the penguins' thunder and is by far one of the most memorable characters in the installment, if not the entire series.

The additional characters in this installment provide a variety of accents, which gives the film an international appeal. The sea lion Stephano is Italian, the tiger is Russian and the adorably brutal officer DuBois is French. Sadly, for the Chinese viewers, the exotic flavor is lost in translation, especially when Chinese translators try to polish it off by piling on popular Chinese slang.

'Madagascar 3: Europe's most wanted' is a creative addition to the series. The old faces attract the viewers, and the new tricks keep the audiences entertained. On a scale from one to ten, I give it a seven.
