'Penguins of Madagascar' does not deter from the comedic and animation style of the 'Madagascar' series. You get much more of the same. It's as good as the superior 'Madagascar' sequels. The movie is fine for all ages. The bevy of clever gags had me laughing continuously through the first two-thirds. The last act isn't as snappy as the previous and it looses a bit of steam due to a slight lack of jokes. But the closure is no less entertaining because of this. I like the villain's plan and motivations. The penguins are given more distinct character traits. Their manic teamwork approach maintains a fun madcap vibe throughout. A competent film that hits the mark for what it aspires to be. No more, no less.
