And just when it looks like they may have met their match in Brine, help comes in the form of The North Wind. Brine takes the boys hostage and divulges his evil plan – kidnap all the penguins from every zoo around the world in which he has been shunned and with his new and improved Medusa Serum, make all penguins ugly, frightening and unadorable.Īwakening in a secret underground lab in Venice, Italy, it doesn’t take long for the boys to escape Brine’s suctioning grasp and embark on a wild chase through the Venice Canals. A nice octopus, a party animal, always with a smile and a glad-hand for all, how could this happen? Nevertheless, shipped from zoo to zoo around the world, Dave always met with the same fate glory one minute and the next, out-flipped by flippered penguins.
Octavius Brine aka Dave, a big purple octopus who was once the big attraction at the Central Park Zoo that is until the cute, adorable Penguins arrived and sucked the limelight from under his tentacled self.
#PENGUIN OF MADAGASCAR SKIPPER CRACKED#
It’s Private’s birthday and he is getting the gift of a lifetime – Cheesy Dibbles from the very last Cheesy Dibbles vending machine on Earth! (And we all know how much the penguins love Cheesy Dibbles.)īut this delicious birthday surprise isn’t all it’s cracked up to be as the vending machine is actually deep cover for the evil Dr. Lots and lots of gold! Enough for a lifetime! But gold ingots and bouillon aren’t what the boys want. As the quartet acts fast to save themselves from leopard seals and exploding barges, they are soon drifting away on their own private floe out into the wilds of the world.įast forward to present day and we find our group embroiled in the most secret of all secret adventures as they break into Fort Knox. And of course, the chick that hatches is none other than Private. Opining on the merits of breaking away from the Waddle to chase after a runaway egg rolling aimlessly towards a frozen precipice that will find the egg plummeting either into the icy sea waters or smashing on some ice, these future heroes set their course and it doesn’t take long before the boys glide into action and determine to save that egg. (Let’s face it, PENGUINS had me at Herzog!) While some humorous visual double-entendres serve as an underlying commentary on filmmaking, we quickly learn that this is the prologue/origin story of the now beloved, Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private. Ironically, the documentarian sounds just like the inimitable Werner Herzog. Our story opens deep in the heart of Antarctica where a noted documentarian is filming his own “March of the Penguins”. Comedy, action and heart all rolled into one, PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR is simply DIBBLICIOUS!!!!! And now, going still one better than it has done before with the lovable franchised gang we first met in “Madagascar”, gives its star players – Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private – their very own film with PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR. With its own distinctive styling of rich, vibrant colors like those seen in “The Croods”, “How to Train Your Dragon 2” or “Turbo”, character and background design are drawn with a slightly skewed shaping and outlining that have a touchstone quality to vintage Saturday morning cartoons, while action and adventure is non-stop, high octane, high energy and over-the-top, and characters and stories are fueled with laugh-out-loud hilarity, DreamWorks consistently delivers bar-raising animation excellence. As has become crystal clear over the past several years, DreamWorks Animation more than gives Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar a run for their money when it comes to animated features.
