Co-directors Eric Darnell & Simon J. Smith continue the adventures of the scene-stealing paramiliatry penguins from the popular CGI animated Madagascar series.
The lazily titled Penguins Of Madagascar follows the quartet as they attempt the thwart the plans of a psychotic octopus and his octo-minions. It's frantic energy, rapid-fire gags and colorful characters keep you from noticing it's lack of wit and originality. While Dreamworks' rivals Pixar might take pride in their graceful & thoughtful execution of each film, here we're treated to something more akin to Bugs Bunny or Tom & Jerry with it's ADHD like pacing. The kids will eat this stuff up like a bag of Cheezies and it packs the same nutritional value as well but at least it keeps you nourished until the next well-balanced meal.
