I liked this movie much more than the second one. The writers realized that this movie's laughs come much more from the cast of characters on The Penguins Of Madagascar cartoon than the four main characters on the poster above. Sure, Marty and Alex have moments - but honestly does anyone care about the hippo or the giraffe? It's about Skipper and the penguins and King Julien and his posse. There is more than enough of them and King Julien's singing completely steals the show. There are tons of laughs and the movie is short and paced well that you avoid the okay let's wrap this up feeling.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It's just as enjoyable for the adults as it is for the kids.
