History Heartwarming / Madagascar3EuropesMostWanted

** Special mention goes to Vitaly's outraged response to one of the dogs claiming that the Zoosters aren't even circus.

** There is also how Alex says "[[CallBack the best thing that's ever happened to us". Back in the first movie, he tells Marty that being shipwrecked on Madagascar was "''not'' the best thing that's ever happened to us]]". But after all the adventures they've had before reaching the zoo, it becomes a nice MeaningfulEcho.

** During the gambling scene, while Skipper initially says to Alex that they're not coming back from Monte Carlo, he later says to Kowalski he plans to pick up the "hippies" (aka Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria) before flying home to NYC. This shows Skipper either was messing around with Alex or had a change of heart, revealing he does care somewhat for his fellow zoo animals.

-->'''Vitaly''': That is why ''I'' loved it! Because I ''did'' the impossible!...[[BadassBoast I once was brave tiger...]] [[HesBack and if I go down in flames, (laughter) so be it!]]

-->'''Stefano''' ''(with tears in his eyes)'': Balloons to the children of the world! Trapeze Americano!
-->'''Vitaly''' ''(in awe)'': It ''is'' real.
-->'''Stefano''': It's-a real!

-->"That's BOLSHEVIK!"

!Spoilers can’t be marked on this page. You have been warned.

* Vitaly's look of stunned joy after he successfully leaps through a flaming ring and gets over his PTSD is pretty touching.

* The entire ending. [[spoiler: Especially the gang's realization that they much preferred being in the circus than living in the zoo.]]
** Especially the reactions of the circus animals to [[spoiler:Trapeze Americano [[{{Defictionalization}} becoming a real act]].]]

-->'''Stefano''' ''(with tears in his eyes)'': Balloons...for the children of the world...?

-->'''Vitaly''': That's why ''I'' loved it! Because I ''did'' the impossible!...[[BadassBoast I once was brave tiger]]... [[HesBack and if I go down in flames, (laughter) so be it]]!

* Marty's previous scene with his joy flying in the air. It certainly helps that Creator/DreamworksAnimation always have a way to make you feel like you're flying alongside him.

--->'''Marty:''' I mean, if I had just stayed put... we wouldn't have anything to be sad about right now.
--->'''Alex:''' Leaving the zoo, was the best thing that ever happened to us.

** Skipper is ''immediately'' concerned when he finds out "the hippies" got ambushed by [=DuBois=].

-->'''Alex''' Listen, man. You may have given up on yourself, [[TrueCompanionsbut your friends haven't given up on you.]] Are you just going to turn your back on them and sit and eat borscht for the rest of your life? Or are you going to get out there and jump through that tiny little hoop?

-->'''Alex''': I don't want fake foot, okay?
** And culminating with:

* The fact that the main circus trio are quick to forgiving the Zoosters for lying to them and want them to come back. When they learn from Julien that [=DuBois=] have captured the Zoosters they waste no time going to try and save their friends and convincing the rest of the circus to pitch in.

--->'''Alex:''' Yeah, out there in the world, we were really living.

* The tightrope scene with Melman and Gloria. It's just pure love right there. At the same time, we see Stefano flying through. Marty's previous scene with his joy flying in the air. It certainly helps that Creator/DreamworksAnimation always have a way to make you feel like you're flying alongside him.

* Finally, there is that moment when the Zoosters made it back to the gates of the Central Park Zoo, only to discover that they've changed too much to return to captivity. Marty apologizes for putting the gang in this situation in the first place, but Alex tells him that there is nothing to forgive since being sent to Madagascar was actually the ''best'' thing that could have happened to them.

--->'''Alex:''' Why?
--->'''Marty:''' Because if I hadn't left... we wouldn't have anything to be sad about right now.

--->'''Alex:''' Yeah, out there we were really living it.
