Penguins of Madagascar	comment	A 2014 feature film from DreamWorks Animation, starring the eponymous penguins of the Madagascar film trilogy and TV series spinoff.In the film, which begins right after Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, the four penguins (Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private) are breaking into Fort Knox for Private's birthday, only to cross paths with a vengeful octopus named Dave, who is jealous of penguins and wants to make them nasty. The quartet escapes from Dave's forces and hook up with the North Wind, an animal task force out to stop Dave before he can utilize his mysterious Medusa Serum. Unfortunately, the two teams of heroes end up clashing with each other, allowing Dave to proceed with his evil penguin-threatening plans... But most importantly (which only viewers have cared about), Private longs to be a meaningful and valued member of the team. Will he earn his title?As the film is in canon with the films and not the TV series, tropes about the characters within should go here.For the TV series, see The Penguins of Madagascar.
