Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private join forces with undercover organization The North Wind to stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine from destroying the world as we know it. Penguins of Madagascar is a spin-off of the Madagascar Trilogy and although none of the main protagonists appear the movie works on it's own thanks to a great use of humor but also some pretty cool action sequences Benedict Cumberbatch as Classified does a really great job and i loved that scene with him and Skipper when he started eating and he always interrupted him that was a hilarious scene and a lot of stuff happen like the Penguins turn into something else that i don't wanna spoil if you haven't seen the film and unlike the horrible Minions film this is an actual spin-off that works because all 4 of this characters are both interesting and funny and not some yellow short annoying things that make sounds for the whole movie.

Oh my this film! I don't think I would want my children to watch it if I was a parent. Simply because it is creepy on several counts. Firstly, the penguins look odd and the squids are a little disgusting to look at. Looks aside, scenes where people stuff their belongings in and out of the penguins are more distasteful than funny. The mutation of the penguins at the end is gory. The one penguin who talks very negatively in the name of being honest is not propagating anything useful. Particularly disturbing is the scene where everyone's darling baby penguin gets mutated without hope of repair and nobody could care less, shrugging it off as 'looks are not everything.' Then, the scene where the Revenge full squid finally finds a taker who doesn't take a minute before treating him atrociously . If I wanted a person to become crass and insensitive, this is the film for training. Children's films should certainly work on two counts-attractiveness and morality. Simply because children are vulnerable. This film fails on both counts. Who doesn't find real penguins cute? The animation could have added to the cuteness quotient. Unfortunately, it takes away from it. The plot is so mindless and random, that I don't want to waste my precious time commenting on it. For children, this film is a strict no. For adults, it makes for unintended humor l. Give it a miss.

Penguins of Madagascar (2014): Dir: Eric Darnell, Simon J. Smith / Voices: Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Christopher Knights, Conrad Vernon, John Malkovich: Amusing followup to the popular Madagascar animations. Here the focus is on the three sharp wit penguins who are joined by a newly hatched fourth in the film's opening. These penguins are fairly interchangeable yet somehow manage to entertain viewers with their dimwitted confidence. The villain is an octopus whose first amusing gripe is that his name is Dave. Dave's back story is that the penguins stole his spotlight years ago and he is set to vanquish penguins from being adoring to people. The penguins are reluctant to accept the rescue and assistance of a group of animal spies called the North Wind Elite consisting of a wolf, polar bear, snow owl, and seal. This all climaxes with the least of thee stepping up and Dave being brought down. Dave is voiced with manic hilarity by John Malkovich whose outbursts in previous roles lend favorably to render Dave appropriately over the top. The penguins are innovative in their counter, never looking at the overbearing odds, choosing instead the naive road less likely and somehow landing on their feet. Directors Eric Darnell and Simon J. Smith have fun with a script littered with great celebrity name references throughout the film. The animation is quirky and often innovative particularly in the use of the penguins black and white colour code during a break in to get at cheese dibs. This is not anything more than empty headed popcorn entertainment for kids but the title stresses reputation and these penguins live it up. Score: 8 / 10

I wanted to see this film because I loved Madagascar so much. When I watched it it turns out I felt too embarrassed to continue watching. It is a film for very young kids and that is it!If your young child loves boys toys and still likes watching very childish shows that can';t stand anymore, then this is the film for him/her. It doesn't own it's place to be good enough to be a family film because it just isn't a family film. It is for children who still love baby stuff and will remain that way. The Madagascar franchise tops this and the series all the way. Don't watch it unless you are brain damaged.Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private are brought into the services of the North Wind, a Canadian elite undercover inter-species task force that is dedicated to helping animals who can't help themselves. The Penguins must work with the North Wind led by Classified in order to prevent Dr. Octavius Brine from taking over the world.
