The Penguins of Madagascar

2008–2013 · 3 seasons

Fast, silly cartoon missions with slapstick chases and bickering animal friends that kids can dip into anytime.

Overview: The adventures of four penguins—Skipper, Kowalski, Private, and Rico, who perform various commando-like missions to protect their home in the Central Park Zoo. The penguins often have to deal with problems caused, or made worse, by their zoo neighbors, King Julien XIII (a ring-tailed lemur), Maurice (an aye-aye), and Mort (a mouse lemur).
How it feels: Light, absurd, campy and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, loyalty, found family, identity
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
