The Penguins of Madagascar are coming back !
By fred | December 13, 2007
“Good news everyone” : Have you seen Madagascar ? Yes ? No ? If you have, you will surely remember the little penguins from that movie, as they were the best thing (and maybe the only good thing) from that movie, and if you haven’t seen the movie, you’ll love them as soon as you’ll see them ! Also, don’t bother for the movie.
Because let’s be honest here; the movie wasn’t that bad, but it was not really good either. And worst of all, it wasn’t that funny. But as I said, if you watched it you know all that already, just like you remember those lovely little penguins…. Aw, they were so cute. Among other things.
What you may also have seen, if you own the DVD for example, is that little short movie Dreamworks had done, featuring no others than those same heroes (and only them this time) : The Madagascar Penguins In A Christmas Caper
Now this little baby was absolutely fantastic, it was great, it was hilarious, to watch it was a pure moment of bliss. I mean I might be exaggerating a little here, but it was the best damn thing on that DVD. And especially after the disappointment that Madagascar was, seeing this little treasure was really a delight.
Well, guess what ? Nickelodeon has ordered no less than 26 episodes of the new cartoon called The Penguins of Madagascar ! That’s right, the penguins are back ! Based on the characters from Madagascar The Madagascar Penguins In A Christmas Caper, the show will tell the story Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico, a group of penguins who believes it leads an elite militaristic strike force from its Central Park Zoo headquarters.
I want to believe the series will be close to the short movie, because it really is excellent. The penguins should invade your screens in early 2009. In the mean time if you never seen it, or even if you have, go watch The Madagascar Penguins In A Christmas Caper, now. Or else, “Ka-Boom!“
