Vorlage:Infobox film Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is an upcoming computer-animated comedy film and the third installment of the Madagascar film series, also the first 3-D film in the series, produced by DreamWorks Animation, distributed by Paramount Pictures and directed by Eric Darnell and Conrad Vernon.[1] It is a sequel to Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. It is set to be released on June 8, 2012.[2]
Plot
Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippopotamus, and Melman the Giraffe set out to return to New York after escaping to Africa. Dependent on the mechanical know-how of the notorious monkeys, their plan inevitably goes awry and they find themselves stranded in Monte Carlo, where they try to escape Europe from animal control by joining up with a traveling circus by chance. Led by the venerable tiger Vitali, the animal-centered circus has seen better days. During the course of a tour through a series of European cities that ends in a fabulous big top in the heart of London, Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman help Vitaly, Gia the jaguar, and Stefano the sea lion, rediscover their passion for show business and reinvent circus performance.[3]
Production
DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg confirmed in 2008 that there will be an additional sequel to Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Katzenberg stated, "there is at least one more chapter. We ultimately want to see the characters make it back to New York."[4] At the Television Critics Association press tour, in January 2009, Katzenberg was asked if there will be a third film in the series. He replied, "Yes, we are making a Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted now, and it will be out on June 8, 2012."[5]
