Bent on an agenda to take over the world, the penguins' mad dolphin nemesis, Dr. Blowhole, kidnaps King Julien in an effort to lure the flightless force into a trap so that he can annihilate them once and for all. It's up to the penguins to spring the trap before Blowhole's plan to flood the Earth comes to fruition.

One of those cartoons where you can tolerate and enjoy. hide show
When I first saw "The Penguins of Madagascar" with my little sister, I felt this cartoon is very interesting and clever. This cartoon is very mature than some cartoon shows these days. You have Skipper, the leader, Private, a small low-expierenced penguin, Kowalski, a very intelligent penguin, and Rico, a penguin who can keep mostly any nonedible object in his belly. Dont foreget the menacing King Julien and along with him is Maurice and the little Mort. If you are dying to see a cartoon that is very awesome and very neat then tune in to the Penguins of Madagascar.
The characters who robbed both Madagascar movies are back. hide show
It's hard to say which characters stole the show the most in the movies. I think it was a tie between the penguins and the lemurs. But Penguins of Madagascar is an adequate name.
One of the things I love about this show is the characters. I will always hate the ever obnoxious Mort, I still feel kinda sorry for Maurice, and I can't help but find Julien hilarious. I thought he was annoying at first, but once you get used to him, he's just the type of character that you want to see raped. LOL i love the penguins so much I can't choose between them, though I gotta say Kowalski seemed smarter in the movies and a lot less clumsy. And I even like Marlene a lot, the level-headed female. Too bad she's the only one (Alice doesn't count).
Okay, for people who don't find the jokes funny at all, I'll say this: this humor is not for little kids. I've seen every single episode so far and this humor calls more for older kids. Seriously, I've spotted so many adult jokes, my jaw dropped more than once like when I saw "Otter Gone Wild" (When Marlene strandled Julien, I screamed rape!). Unless little kids these days are very experienced (no offense) or have their minds between their legs before their time, they won't understand these jokes. I do, because I'm a young adult who just graduated from college. ALL my friends love this show, any little kids I know watch more Phineas and Ferb than this.
And the best part of this show is the fact that the 4 idiots are not there! YAY! Look, it's not that I hate Alex, Marty, GLoria, and the giraffe, but I've labeled them the 4 idiots since the first movie and the main characters in Penguins of Madagascar stole their popularity in the movies, so there. THey would've made the show poor to watch. I'm really glad they're not here. The only problem with this is that they don't explain exactly what happened to them except for the oppening explaining that the penguins and lemurs were shipped back to New York. How did that happen? No idea. Why weren't they with the 4 idiots? No idea. I was hoping they decided to stay in Africa and live happily, good riddance. But Madagascar 3 is coming, so.... *groan*
Anyway, overall, I still give this show a 10. The episodes have yet to disappoint me except for the only with the elephant. Don't take my word for it, I read it myself in the Dreamworks website that the company planned to make Penguins of Madagascar a 30-episode series, and they already passed their limit, to continue it in Madagascar 3. Why they haven't stopped? Duh. Because the series were a huge hit!! If you don't like it, it's your opinion and I respect that. I just gave mine. Remember, I still think this show is better for older kids and young adults who will understand the adult humor.
Thank you!
Adequate. Just adequate. hide show
This show is about 4 psychotic penguins that do commando missions. Well, I'd say some episodes are wimpy like the episode Over Phil. Do they think Mason is a MAID?! That is wimpy. Well, anyway the scores are: (this is the first review I am using my new rating system. If you want to see it, please go to my profile, and click 'read more' on the blog post: new rating system)
Plots: 7.2 (adequate) Some are wimpy.
Sound and Voice-casting: 7.9 (adequate) Ah, I think its kinda good. Graphics and Animation: 8.7/10 (marvelous) Wow! Finally a show with GOOD graphics!
Dialogue and Language: 8.2/10 (marvelous) Great! (when I say language, I mean points will get taken off if there is bad words, or too simple language.)
Grossness Level: 3 (Not that bad) The higher the grossness, the less score the show/episode will get.
Bottom Line: Well, kinda good. Also kinda wimpy.
Looks like my work is done here, so stay tuned for my next review.
There's some parts where overused plots were used, but the show overall is well put together. hide show
To be honest, I thought the show was going to be a flop like all movie-based shows crack up to be, but I was wrong! To be honest, I didn't exactly like the films, but the show got me addicted for it. But to prove me wrong, The Penguins of Madagascar is one of the top rated shows of modern Nickelodeon.
The show explores the themes of team work and religion vs. science a lot; for an example, the penguins are always working together to solve missions. As for religion vs. science, the show goes into this a lot with King Julien thinking that everything is done by the Sky Spirits and the penguins knows that everything is done by an event.
The only bad thing I have to say about The Penguins of Madagascar is that the plots the show utilizes are some-what overdone; other than that, the show deserves a good score. ;D
Awesome Show with Clever Plots! hide show
I have to say this is in one of my top favorite shows at the moment. Everything is great. The animation is great, the show is really, really cute, and the storylines are top noch including stuff you would never think of on an average day. First of all, people are saying that this show should have characters like the Zebra and Lion in this show. This show is about the PENGUINS not the Zebra and Lion. Like I said, the storylines are great as well. A lot better than Fanboy and Chum Chum. Ugh. The characters are all hilarious. I liked how they changed the voices of the characters. It fits them better. And Mort is hilarious still as well in this show. The only character that gets on my nerves in Marlene. She is...wow. She is really annoying.
So overall, this show is hilarious.
