To me, this movie is perfection.

Perfect cast and a good story

good back-story, and good acting

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A rookery of penguins with attitude -- leader Skipper, brainy Kowalski, loony Rico and young Private -- in Central Park Zoo embarks on what it sees as a series of strike-force missions until confronting an unwelcome challenge to its dominance from a new zoo resident: Julien, King of the Lemurs, in a sequel to the hit animated movies. Just like the Madagascar Trilogy and the Penguins film the TV Series with our 4 famous little friends succeeds into bring more laughs and humor but also some never before seen characters like a gigantic Aligator and Mouse that has the body of a bodybuilder. And if you loved the movies you will not be disappointed with the show.

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!!!

I've seen some of the episodes of this show, I don't regularly watch it but If I'm bored I may watch it on occasion. At times I laugh but only from the penguins. Considering the name of the show that should be the primary focus. Unfortunately the lemurs were thrown in. The only one that really grinds my gears is King Julian. In the movies he was usually at least a somewhat amusing character, in this series his personality is incredibly irritating. That is my only big issue with the series. The other non-penguin characters are at least passable, if not all too humorous. Expect the same from the penguins. If anything, this show should focus more or only on their military-style antics.

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.
