The Penguins of Madagascar

Out of all the Dreamworks shows on Nickelodeon, this one is definitely my favorite one. The Penguins of Madagascar is a really funny show with some great fast humor. For a nicktoon in the 2000s, it was really great. There are some differences from this to the original movie, but it doesn't distract from how great the show is. The characters are funny, the stories are interesting, and the comedy is gold. If you're interested in finding this show, I definitely recommend it. It's very funny and memorable. I think you and your kids will enjoy it.

I just love the TV series the animation and the voices that go with the characters are hysterically funny. I especially like King Julian. He has a way of speech that is humorous and he makes up his own words. He praises the Sky Spirit which is really funny. Danny Jacobs does a great job with King Julian's voice.

I thought Sasha Cohen was King Julian in the TV series because Danny Jacobs sounds just like him. The dance movements of King Julian, the facial expressions especially the eyes make him one of the funniest characters in the series.

In one of the TV episodes "Private" got King Julian's dance groove which was really funny and the Private could flap his flippers and do great moves like KJ.

All the characters are unique and have their own thing which is carried over from the movie Madagascar.

To me the best animated movies are the ones with the Penquins of Madagasgar, the TV Series Penguins and also Ice Age 1 and 2.

The voices of Manny and Sloth are my favorite in Ice Age and also the opossums. I don't think anyone can make Sloth funnier, I die laughing just listening to his speech and the way he dramatizes, like laying across the rock on his back.

They all have great animation, funny, silly characters and they basically kept the same or same sounding voices that made the character popular.

All are lots of laughs and fun.

I am a nanny for two kids so watch a lot of cartoons. The Penguins of Madagascar are the best! The kids watch and I love the humor! I have tried to get my adult friends to watch but they look at me like I am crazy! You should give it a chance, it is great. Kowalski is always coughing up just the right thing and when the skipper talks to his log like star trek it cracks me up. I esp. love King Julien cause he butchers the English language in a very funny way. Love this show!!!! Not just for kids!!! I have started quoting the funniest lines, like "this calls for harsh mocking...mock, mock, mock" If I weren't so old, I could remember some more of these great lines. Check it out no matter how old you are!

Penguins of Madagascar is excellently executed. The four penguins, Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico, have unique personalities that never fail to entertain. From serious to innocent, clear to unintelligible, the penguins capture your heart and make you jealous of their mad skills.

Of course, King Julien, his adviser Maurice, and his prop Mort, have also come along for the ride. King Julien is ever the selfish King and party boy. Maurice is still the loyal right-hand man and Mort hasn't given up worshiping the ground King Julien sits, stands, or walks on, and doesn't seem to care when King Julien takes advantage of him or tells him he hates him.

The monkey's are also still around. Just as before, they are a source of intelligence, class, and poo-flinging. The silent one can read and the talker is his translator, and the penguins often go to them for a quick written translation.

These memorable characters from the move Madagascar are joined by many new, just as memorable ones. There's the female otter Marlene, who is a source of sensibility and, as a result, often balances out the penguins when they come up with some of their more unbelievable (or paranoid) ideas. Then there's the kangaroo (Joey?), who is a fantastic boxer and true Australian. He's able to give at least one penguin at a time a hard time. There's also an elephant, who is kind and forgiving, but also easily scared. There's also two gorilla's who can serve as bodyguards and have awesome Brooklyn accents. Put all these animals together with the newest neighbor's and the zoo had definitely turned into a zoo. The newest neighbor's are a bunch of iguana's, who speak with their eyes, and can get down with the lemurs, with their technicolor changing abilities.

Of course, every show has to have its villains, and the main bad guy here is the zookeeper, Alice. She is constantly grumbling and mumbling about animals and suspects that the penguins are more than just regular zoo penguins. She is an obstacle the penguins often have to avoid.

This show is serious and hilarious all at once. It's great for the kid, adult, and secret agent in you. Good for a nice relaxing sit down and to get your mind off other things in your life. Great show for kids (even without the penguin's little moral - and fishy - messages thrown it) and one that adults can enjoy with them.

Usually, I find shows made after movies to be strained and boring, but this one is the exception. It really stands out in a day and age where more and more kid shows are full of toned down and hidden sex jokes or are just teen dramas.

Penguins of Madagascar is a new kind of show and can hopefully pave the way for some more awesome shows to slip onto our TV networks and hearts.

Yet another series I had to watch again as an adult to really enjoy. I've always been a huge fan of these penguins and the wacky shenanigans they get into. Actually since I first saw them in the first Madagascar movie.

I think The Penguins of Madagascar work perfectly as a series of short episodes because they are pretty quick and straight to the point dudes.

I'm not crazy about the animation and visuals. The coloring is a little flat and not very interesting. The animation is pretty good by early 2000s standards but there isn't any moments that make you go "wow". I still do like the choreography in many fight scenes. They use chain reactions very well and smoothly.

Voice acting is something that always seals the deal for me on a good show. Each character has a recognizeble voice, accent and/or a speech pattern. I like how they use accents in general in the Madagascar series. The most memorable cartoon characters have a unique voice that everyone recognizes. It like a trademark.

This series has simple and nice plots for each episode. Like I said before. The Penguins of Madagascar are not meant for the big screen (in my opinion). They work better as short missions in each episode. The plot structure in each episode is easy to follow, fun and many of them have plot twists which some of are very predictable (for adults). This doesn't take away from the fun though so it isn't a problem for me.

Character dynamics in this show are also fun. I like how the Penguins are very different from each other. Their dynamic doesn't get boring because there is always someone who doesn't agree or at least not immediately.

All in all, I love The Penguins of Madagascar and I always will. I miss these mofos and I wanna see them in action again. The 2014 movie was something but like I said before. Not meant for the big screen.

One of my favorite shows of all time!
