    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When Kowalski says "Nope, I still can't read", it's a reference to the first Madagascar (2005) where he says "Sorry skipper, I can't read" when the sign says the ship is going to Africa.
    • Goofs
      Venice has no roads for automobiles. The truck loaded with watermelons would not be in a city accessible only by boat or foot.
    • Quotes

      Dave: Charlize, they're on the ray! Helen, hunt them down! William, hurt them! Halle, bury them! Hugh! Jack! Man the battle stations! Kevin! Bake on! We're still going to need that victory cake!

    • Crazy credits
      When the film begins, a glacier calves (breaks off ice) to reveal the Dreamworks Animation logo, the logo portion then calves again to replace the boy holding the fishing pole with the four penguins standing on each others' shoulders.

    Awesome, just awesome
    Awesome, just awesome movie.

    I don't know how to say this but it is a while since I've last seen a movie that made me laugh freely.

    It is a complete movie from my point of view because it's understandable for children and it has plenty of jokes for grown ups. And I enjoyed a lot the jokes related to celebrities names like: Charlize Theron, Kevin Bacon, Hugh Jackman and others I don't remember right now.

    It has plenty of surprises and it is after all a comedy wrapped into an animation movie that totally deserves the time spend watching it. I gave it a 9, maybe a little bit higher that rated but in my opinion you just have to see this :D.
