Les Pingouins de Madagascar

With the Madagscar movie franchise it seems the penguins became very famous. So let's see how a series made especially for them works.

It's hilarious, it's fun, it's entertaining and it has a lot of potential.

I really hope it stays as long as the Spongebob series.

So original, with lovable characters and a good story in each episode.

It's funny when it wants to be, the cast is simply amazing.

At first a show for them didn't seem like such a good idea, but let me tell you that it was the best idea anyone could have had for TV.

Grown-ups give the show a chance kids and adults are bound to have a good time with the penguins. I really hope it stays that good 'cause you can't find any new show as successful as this, these days.

It's a 10 of 10!!!

It really deserves at least 8/10 Imdb, so I think it's underrated. Yeah, not all episodes are good but mostly it's amazing TV show not only for kids but for the whole family. Worth to watch it.

I grew up with Crusader Rabbit and was entering junior high school when Rocky and Bullwinkle first debuted. I honestly believe that "Penguins" is as close to Rocky as you can get as far as the humor is concerned. The humor in Penguins is classic and the I have recorded and watched every episode over and over again. The seriousness by which Kowalski comes up with his plans and "options" is hilarious when we see the final product which could have been drawn by a pre-schooler, or his inventions which are made up of sardine tins, etc. It's this type of humor that makes this so special. They think in adult terms but their actions are purely that of a child. It would eventually get boring without the other animals and the mix is just right for it to be effective. Julien's mastery of the English language is great. I really believe we have all known a Julien in our lives. The one person who knew it all and tried to command all the attention and notoriety while at the same time does not have a clue. Rico is perhaps my favorite character. The episodes with his girlfriend doll are great. My grandkids love "Penguins" and I get a kick out of watching them watch the show because it's obvious we are all getting something different from it. Great work. Keep it up.

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!

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.
