'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' Teaser Trailer Surfaces
This isn't exactly my favorite animated franchise
When it comes to recent animated film franchises, I find the Madagascar films about as uninteresting as I do the Shrek films. Sure, the penguins are funny, the monkeys are good for a few laughs, but the overall stories are terrible. I truly disliked the first Madagascar film and admittedly found the sequel to be a vast improvement, but I have little desire to return to the franchise for Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, which hits theaters on June 8, 2012 and today we have our first look at the teaser trailer.
Written by Noah Baumbach (Fantastic Mr. Fox) and once again featuring the voice work of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric The Entertainer and Andy Richter, Madagascar 3 follows Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo and Melman the Giraffe as they continue their struggle to get home to their beloved Big Apple and of course, King Julien, Maurice and the Penguins are all along for the comedic adventure. This third film takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, which they reinvent — Madagascar style.
As I said, the film hits theaters on June 8, 2012 and you can check out the teaser trailer directly below. Tell me, are you a fan of this franchise?

I'm not kidding you, Brad. The trailer ITSELF says it all. The last thing said in the trailer is Ben Stiller saying "Really?" with all the proper inflections your article insinuates.
It's a cartoon…relax and if you don't like senseless and irrelevant childish humor-then go see the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
This is a good franchise. It's funny and harmless entertainment. Doesn't always have to try to do more than just be a fun movie. If it always needs to be more to get your
dollars (I understand) but this has it's audience like any other.
I'm prepared to admit the 'circus afro' song had me laughing.
This trailer will likely be running before "Tintin." At least, when I saw "Tintin" here in Montréal on Friday (opening in Québec before anywhere else in North America), it ran.
Doesn't look particularly interesting to me, but then, I really don't care much for animated films.
