Not as good as number two - it doesn't have the emotional undercurrents, there's no reuniting with your dad, or falling in love, or reuniting with your spieces. Apart from Ben Stiller's lion the other three leads could be cut out - they don't have anything to do.
The animation is gorgeous and I'm a sucker for circus stories. I loved the snow capped alps and the trip through Europe and there were some exciting action sequences. The penguins and monkeys are great. The new circus animals are strong especially the dancing bear.
Some silly script things - likeAlex/Stiller wanting to go home even though in Part Two he deliberately stayed, no mention of his parents, somehow they can easily travel from Africa to Monte Carlo and arrange to buy a circus but they can't afford to pay for the flight back to New York, the villain seems insufficiently motivated to go to such extreme methods.
Still, I laughed.
