Penguins spin-off hatches family fun
1127REVIEW-Penguins1
Kowalski, from left, voiced by Chris Miller; Skipper, voiced by Tom McGrath; Rico, voiced by Conrad Vernon; and Private, voiced by Christpher Knights star in the film, “The Penguins of Madagascar.”
For a movie that’s more paint by numbers than Picasso, “Penguins of Madagascar” begins with something completely unexpected: a Werner Herzog voiceover. Parodying his own work and documentary films’ obsession with the flightless birds, the German filmmaker gives an auspiciously clever start to a movie targeted toward the younger than 10 set. It’s a little wink to the adults in the audience right at the front.
