Penguins of Madagascar : M’gascar sidekicks hold on their own
Staring (voice): Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Conrad Vernon, Christopher Knights, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Malkovich
Rated: 6/10
Come on let’s move it move it…. The sidekicks of the Madagaskar series have taken centrestage. And, for you information, they are pretty good at keeping the proceedings on a crescendo not just of action and adventure but also gentle humour. Of course, with Dreamworks in the picture, the animated objects are more than cute, and the situations they create are gently friendly too.
For kids this thanksgiving, it is a penguin treat with the foursome holding the stage on fire. They do it all that’s common for a comic book — they fight, they spend some family time together, they travel, they have an adventure and they fight the villain with all their might, emerging victorious in the end.
It’s great that the film is compatible with children’s sense of humour though the adults may just find it a tad juvenile — which, one must remind you, was never the case with the earlier Madagascars. That’s the only hitch this one has though Papa Penguin and Private Penguin take good care of the rest of the film which has an octopus for a villain and a fox for a special ops head of Intelligence!
