New Madagascar 3 Poster Is Filled With Rainbow Wigs

As I learned last week while at a DreamWorks Animation presentation, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted takes the New York Zoo animals (voiced by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer and Tom McGrath) and takes moves them across Europe with a traveling circus. But this is an animated movie, right? That means that they animals can't just dress up as themselves. They need rainbow wigs!

DreamWorks has released a brand new one-sheet for the upcoming movie and while it may have only been Marley the Zebra wearing the wig in the first trailer, this artwork has everyone sporting a new hairstyle. Check out the poster below or full size over on Yahoo!

There are two things that immediately pop to mind while looking closely at this poster, First, Skipper the Penguin is doing the classic "DreamWorks face" which leads me to believe that the folks over there are just making fun of themselves now. The other thing is that this poster doesn't have the subheading "Europe's Most Wanted." Perhaps it's because this is just a teaser poster, but why cut it out?

A new trailer for Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is set to drop tomorrow, so stay tuned here on Cinema Blend to see it. In the meantime, you can head over to our Blend Film Database and see the first trailer as well as an array of stills and info about the movie.
