Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn stars Joel Courtney and Katherine McNamara call Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted is a PICK!

"Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Madagascar 3 was a great movie the whole family will love. Not only is the original crew back, but Dreamworks has gone wild and added a whole new circus of characters - literally! The movie addressed great themes, such as perseverance after failure, honesty with others, and loyalty to friends. There is lots of music that kids will recognize and plenty of humor for children and adults alike. So, move it, move it to the movie theater and see Madagascar 3!"

Ty-Simpkins: Meet IRON MAN 3's 11-year Old Star

alt by Miranda R., Age 15

At 11 years old, Ty Simpkins already has quite a few credits on his resume. Simpkins has been in movies since he was barely 3 months old, and has roles in flicks such as Insidious, The Next Three Days, and Little Children. Maybe even more interesting is how many times he's been cast in films with his real life sister Ryan Simpkins - they play siblings in Revolutionary Road, Pride and Glory and Arcadia, among others.

alt But for Iron Man 3, Ty's first action movie, he goes it alone. Ty plays Harley Keener, an intelligent kid who has a run-in with Iron Man and actually helps him save the day.

Ty's favorite part of working on Iron Man 3 was being able to spend time with its star Robert Downey Jr. "Robert's really fun to work with. He's a really nice guy."

Like many kids his age, Ty is a huge Iron Man fan. "My favorite superhero is Iron Man and I'm not just saying that because I worked on the Iron Man movie. It actually is Iron Man," he says very emphatically....
