Plot

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).

About The Penguins of Madagascar

The Penguins of Madagascar is an American animated television series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio in association with DreamWorks Animation. It stars nine characters from DreamWorks' animated film Madagascar—Skipper (Tom McGrath), Rico (John DiMaggio), Kowalski (Jeff Bennett), Private (James Patrick Stuart), King Julien (Danny Jacobs), Maurice (Kevin Michael Richardson), Mort (Andy Richter), Mason (Conrad Vernon), and Phil. Characters new to the series include an otter named Marlene (Nicole Sullivan) and a zookeeper named Alice (Mary Scheer). It is the first Nicktoon co-produced with DreamWorks Animation. The series was executive-produced by Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle, who were the creators of the animated series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (a spin-off of Pixar's Toy Story franchise) and Disney Channel's Kim Possible. The pilot episode, "Gone in a Flash," aired as part of "Superstuffed Nicktoons Weekend" on November 28, 2008, and The Penguins of Madagascar became a regular series on March 28, 2009. The series premiere drew 6.1 million viewers, setting a new record as the most-watched premiere. The Penguins of Madagascar aired after Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa was released, but it does not take place at a precise time within the franchise as it is unknown as to how the penguins and lemurs arrived at the zoo without the other characters from the Madagascar…
