Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, and Gloria the
Hippopotamus set out to return to New York after escaping to Africa.
Dependent on the mechanical know-how of the notorious chimpanzees and
penguins, their plan inevitably goes awry and they find themselves
stranded in Monte Carlo,
where they try to escape Europe from animal control led by Captain
Chantel DuBois by joining up with a traveling circus by chance. Led by
the venerable Siberian tiger Vitaly, the animal-centered circus has
seen better days. During the course of a tour through a series of
European cities that ends in a fabulous big top in the heart of London,
Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria help Vitaly the tiger, Gia the jaguar,
and Stefano the sea lion, rediscover their passion for show business
and reinvent circus performance.
