Every school holidays we love to go to the movies! Unfortunately last holidays we were all sick and then I had emerson so we didn't see any movies. Keira reminds me at least once a week of this fact. But I think I'm back in her good books after taking them all to a special screening of Dreamwork's Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted 3D. And in Gold Class no less. They are still telling people how they got to sit in the huge movie seats and lunch and lemonade was brought into them. And now we have a video of the time we went to Gold Class.....Finn steals the show

 

 

Gold Class was a very popular part of the day! I really hope they aren't expecting that everytime we go to the movies from now on. Oh and the clown wigs that we are now calling afro circus wigs after seeing the movie, yep they were a big hit too.

One reason I love taking my guys to the movies so much is that I know that they will sit still. True to form they didn't move the entire movie except to reach out for a piece of pizza!

And then of course as soon as the credits finished Finn came over ' busting' for the toilet. He didn't want to miss one second of the movie by going to the bathroom!!!  And this is what it looks like when I take them all to the movies

 
Now just as the title suggests, Dreamwork's Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted 3D is in 3D and the first of the Madagascar series to be 3D. This makes it a lot of fun as objects appear to be flying out of the screen and right at you. Looking over at the little ones made me laugh as they reacted to flying objects and fireworks. I was going to write that it was funny to see them jump out of their seats in fright but that doesn't make me sound like the caring and loving mummy that I am. But you know what I mean and they loved it!

So what's the storyline? Well Alex, Melman, Gloria and Marty are missing New York so decide it's time to head back. En route through Europe they buy a travelling circus which is the perfect cover for a group of animals to get home. And this is where some really funny characters join the movie.

And of course you can't have a movie without a baddy who comes in the form of Captain Chantel DuBois. She follows them all the way to New York and her singing scene is a show stopper. And it wouldn't be a Madagascar movie without those cheeky wisecracking penguins and Maurice. And you get to meet Maurice's new love interest.............

And what did we think about the movie? We loved it! It was really different to the previous movies and in fact the kids thought it was better than the first two and that's saying something as we've watched a lot of Madagascar in this house. It's bright, colourful fast paced and fun! There are some really funny parts and some adult humour too which always helps.

 

Our favourite characters? Well mine is Marty the zebra, Tillie loves Melman, Keira loves Gloria and Zia while Finn loves Alex the lion.

 

So mark your diaries for 13th September for the Australian release of Dreamwork's Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted 3D. We'll be seeing it again in the school holidays. And Finn is already asking when the DVD comes out. He's a smart one!

And of course I have a giveaway for your little ones! Just tell me your favourite character from the Madagascar series and some lucky readers will win some fun Madagascar 3 prizes.
