Trivia
When the monkeys are dressed up, they go by the name 'King of Versailles'; the actual Kings of France who lived in Versailles palace were Louises XIV, XV, and XVI, the last being infamously married to Marie Antoinette. The license plate of the penguins' car reads EAT CAKE, a quote often attributed to Antoinette.

Goofs
Considering their extreme difficulties in traveling much shorter distances unaided in the past 2 films (a problem which provides most of the series' humor), it is surprising that no explanation is given for how the animals traveled from southern Africa to Europe fairly easily.

Quotes
Alex: [Marty drives a van] What're you doing? Zebras can't drive, only penguins and people can drive!

Crazy credits
DreamWorks Animation Logo, the blue sky and the camera pans down to start the movie since Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008).

Alternate versions
In the Australian version of the film, when Marty turns on the radio during the chase through Monaco, it plays "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO instead of "Anyway You Want it" by Journey.
