time Grammy Award®-winning composer Hans Zimmer: New York City Surprise, Game On, Light the Hoop On Fire!, Fur Power!, and Rescue Stefano. In addition to 2005's Madagascar and 2008's Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa, Zimmer is celebrated for his soundtracks to The Lion King, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, and many other titles.

DreamWorks Animation SKG's Madagascar 3: Europe s Most Wanted, distributed by Paramount Pictures, finds Central Park Zoo's most notorious crew of animated characters led by Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), and Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith) continuing their endless voyage home to New York. This time they take over and reinvent a down-and-out circus traveling across Europe, hiding out, doing death defying tricks (perfect for 3D), and making new friends.
