I didnt go into it expecting some sort of ultra-moving film, and I didnt come out of it having gotten an ultra-moving film. It was just goofy fun and slapstick humor the whole way through. However, a lot of films do this wrong. They thing slapstick for slapsticks sake can just work on its own. Penguins took a cast of characters already quirky in their own right and utilized them to the best of their abilities. Creating the North Wind as a straight man to the Penguins and their bizarre antics worked even better. And I will admit that giving Private a more central role and allowing him to develop beyond just being generically cute was a good call. It was just a likable film. Nothing more, nothing less. Stifled: Oh man, that group of penguins has charisma and chemistry to spare. I could watch them all day. But maybe next time, ditch the lame spy team. They dragged the pacing down a bit by being completely unlikeable. Dave and his gang of celebrity named henchmen was absolute gold to make up for that, however. Traviss opinion: He loved it! It didnt really contain his usual favorite things (cats, cars, etc), but he watched the whole thing. He even danced to the credits music. JONA: It basically takes whats good about Madagascar 3 and then focuses on the penguins, who were always the most enjoyable part of those movies. Shockingly, it ends up good. charon: A surprisingly enjoyable film, this is evidence you can make a good spinoff featuring side characters. Unlike Minions, this one is clever and witty and offers a good plot to show the backstory of the penguins. I'd be willing to say this might be better than most of the Madagascar movies, maybe all of them, I'd have to revisit that thought though. It's strange since I found the penguins annoying and out of place in their home series. Opposite of Minions, where I tend to enjoy their home series. It could have been that perhaps these characters in small doses wasn't the right formula for them to succeed. I also enjoyed the supporting cast here too, especially Classified.
