'Penguins of Madagascar' - the funny penguin team

Returning after the Madagascar series, director Eric Darnell has a new combination with Simon J. Smith (instead of Tom McGrath) in the big budget animated film ($135 million) - Penguins of Madagascar. This is a cherished and highly anticipated project of Eric Darnell and the DreamWorks animation production company after two years since Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted premiered (2012). With excitement and a spirit of selfless work, Penguins of Madagascar came to the audience earlier than expected (expected to be released in 2015) and did not disappoint fans.

The film tells the story of the journey of growing up and the confrontation of four lost penguins Skipper, Kowalski, Private, Rico with the evil octopus Dave, to fight against the terrible plot behind the revenge plan. Accompanying the lovely penguin team are also the intelligent friends of the North Wind team.

With a clear and easy-to-understand narrative and humorous and adorable details, Penguins of Madagascar is a true animated film for children. The character creation and voiceover are meticulously and completely processed, bringing viewers a vivid world full of sound and color.

In addition to the four cute, chubby, and adorable penguins, each character in the film impresses with their own style: the hateful and pitiful “tentacle boss” doctor; the fat, kind bear; the clever, mischievous wolf or the graceful, proud owl...

The voice acting is arguably the film’s most successful feature. Viewers will be on their toes when the baby penguin emerges from the egg, cooing as he greets the world, or when the kids will be delighted when the evil “tentacle boss” doctor cries in his silly deformed form. Director Eric Darnell has an excellent voice acting team with the participation of Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, and Christopher Knights.

Even Benedict Cumberbatch's obvious pronunciation mistake when reading "penguins" as "pengwings" did not annoy the audience but made the Madagascar penguin team more adorable.

The harmonious and cheerful music is also another plus point of the film. With exciting sound effects, young audiences will surely not stop dancing and cannot take their eyes off the screen with the fun and mischief of the penguin squad. The song from the 1970s - Celebrate - is also cleverly inserted with famous scenes such as Venice (Italy), Shanghai (China), New York (USA), making viewers surprised when they play the role of a traveler around the Earth with the penguin squad.

Besides the fun and light entertainment, Penguins of Madagascar also conveys other humane messages about brotherhood, comradeship, the price to pay for evil and greedy people as well as profound lessons about the core values ​​hidden deep inside each person that appearance sometimes does not fully reflect...

The sinister octopus named Dave.

The lesson that the dumb penguin Skipper learned: “It’s not what we look like, it’s what we do that counts.” The characters of Penguins of Madagascar go through their journey, transforming into many different strange shapes, and then end up happily in a peaceful, benevolent world - where there are no more evil plots or dark tricks lurking.

Just attractive and easy to understand enough for young audiences but not too superficial and forgettable for cartoon lovers in general, the story of the penguin team will be an interesting choice for the whole family on the weekend.

Penguins of Madagascar will be released to Vietnamese audiences from November 28.
