The Penguins of Madagascar

The Penguins of Madagascar is an animated comedy TV series based on the characters from DreamWorks's animated film Madagascar that follows the exploits of the four penguins and the other animals at the Central Park Zoo. To the world, Skipper, Kowalski, Private, and Rico are just cute little penguins, living a carefree and idle life in their arctic habitat in the zoo. It's a guise that serves them well, acting as their cover for an elite strike force with a secret mission to maintain the peace. Each of the penguins has their own distinct personality with Skipper as the cool and calculating leader who just loves to take his coffee with a side of fish, Kowalski as the over-analyzing strategist, Private as the emotional rookie, and Rico as an explosive specialist who talks in a form of grunts and has a special affection for a Barbie doll. They were able to do their jobs well until King Julien XIII, the wild ring-tailed lemur from the film, decides to turn the zoo into a giant party and an escaped lab rat tries to take over their home. The Penguins of Madagascar offers up a show reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote and brings some of the funny side characters of the Madagascar into the focus. MORE
