Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThe graceful camerawork, precise editing and high-quality animation still can’t disguise the lack of imagination that went into the overall conception...
Time Out
pressThe film is frantic and silly and our biggest gripe is that all the penguins look the same.
The New York Times
pressThe lack of originality is offset by sheer silliness, including Classified and Skipper's Abbott and Costello-style argument over whether there's a long I in "diversion." The word fits the movie.
The Guardian
pressAn injection of sugar direct to the pineal gland and woe betide any parent who tries to get their children to take a nap after seeing it.
The Dissolve
pressWhat Penguins Of Madagascar needs is a roomful of ruthless editors to take jokes out of the script...
Hollywood Reporter
pressAll that manic energy ultimately proves to be more exhausting than exhilarating.
Empire Magazine
pressThe silliest spin-off this side of Elektra, and lots of fun with it.
What you would expect from spy penguins, fun and actioned filled movie with a heart filled story of family sticks together so very cute
The Penguins of Madagascar Nothing like ‘Mr Poppers Penguins’ at all. It was like watching extended pieces of the ‘Madagascar' movie/s and the animated tv series thrown together to make this entire film. Gives a little prequel info and highlights more of the background. Enjoyable to a point and is a good team movie for the kids, much like ‘Big Hero 6’,...
