Penguins of Madagascar (2014)

Director: Eric Darnell, Simon J. Smith

Cast: Tom McGrath (Skipper) Conrad Vernon (Rico) Chris Miller (Kowalski) Christopher Knights (Private)

EPIC!! Best Madagascar movie (it’s a spin-off) Penguins of Madagascar is EPIC!!!

In Antarctica, baby emperor penguins Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico find an egg and run after it. At the edge of Antarctica, documentary makers give them a push into an abandoned ship (for fun) filled to the brim with leopard seals. Over there, the Penguin gang take the egg and land on an ice floe. Over there, the egg hatches and Skipper names the chick ‘Private’. 10 years later, to celebrate Private’s tenth birthday, they infiltrate North America’s most secure vault, only to get Cheesy Dibbles, cheese puffs that are disappearing over the USA so worth their weight in gold. The vending machine was an octopus named David, who wants to destroy the penguin population of the world, as he was transported to loads of zoos around the world, and always lost the shine with penguins of any sort. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

I LOVED the movie. Again, LOVED it. So, there is also a highly advanced zoological group called the North Wind, which tries to help ‘helpless’ animals who are in trouble. The main members are a Eurasian wolf whose name is classified information, a polar bear named Corporal, a seal named Short Fuse, and an owl named Eva. However, the real hero is Private. David, the octopus who could transform into a human is so epic, with a blaster that could make monsters. However, the scene in Antarctica where the documentary filmers push Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico into the ship with leopard seals is shockingly cruel, when the filmers KNEW that the penguins were going to die. Anyways, this movie’s humor makes up for its lack of originality. NO flaws at all.  Again, no flaws at all.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie (and the entire Madagascar series) because:

  1. 1.       The acting is top-notch.
  2. 2.       The plot is extremely unpredictable.
  3. 3.       The North Wind is epic.
  4. 4.       The animation is amazing.
  5. 5.       The language Octopese, the octopus language is amazing.
  6. 6.       Overall, THIS MOVIE IS MOVIN’ IT!

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
