Madagascar Movies in Order
Follow the three main films in release order as the zoo friends move from one unfamiliar setting to another.
The watch order
Where should you start?
Follow the three main films in release order as the zoo friends move from one unfamiliar setting to another. The group’s wish to return home provides continuity even as the adventures change location. Penguins of Madagascar is a spin-off rather than the next chapter of the central quartet’s story.
Our take on the collection
Moviebase editorial
The series favors energetic ensemble comedy, expressive animation and quick reversals. Its characters are funny partly because they bring comfortable habits into places where those habits no longer work. The frenetic style can be tiring in a marathon, so it often works better as separate family screenings.
Planning your watchlist
Start with the main trilogy. The penguin film and television adventures are optional additions; keeping them separate makes it easier to follow the original group.
