Most know them by their regular names: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and the rookie Private. But those in the know, know them as an elite team of penguin operatives who, despite all odds, get the job done to save lives and country. But when all four of them are kidnapped by the evil Dr. Octavius Brine, the four penguin comrades - just prior to their escape - learn of his hideous, evil plan to rid the world of its cuteness, and are forced to team up with undercover spy organization North Wind (whose ace team is comprised of a polar bear, a white owl, an arctic seal, and their gray wolf leader, only known as "Classified") in order to thwart Brine's plans. Not having seen the Madagascar films, I found Penguins to be terrific from beginning to end; great animation, funny as heck, and with characters (especially the four penguins) I absolutely loved from jump. A wonderful film for all ages; the kind that only gets better, even funnier, with repeat viewings. Now to get my hands on a bag of Cheezy Dibbles ... (rated PG) A

LOVE this review and I am thrilled that you found it as brilliant as I did! An "A" rating, no less - and I completely agree. I'll admit it took me completely by surprise, that it would be this good and witty. And didn't you sense Benedict Cummerbatch having the time of his life with the Wolf? :)
ReplyDeleteI will admit it, but only here, I am a fan and was a watcher of the show when it was on Nickelodeon... so the review was the excellent and can't wait to see this one! Kevano
