The Penguins of Madagascar is a super fun animated TV show! It's a spin-off from the popular Madagascar movies. This series follows the exciting adventures of four special penguins: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private. They live in the Central Park Zoo in New York City and often get into secret missions and silly situations.

Meet the Voice Actors

When a movie becomes a TV show, sometimes different actors voice the characters. This happened with The Penguins of Madagascar. Some of the original movie actors couldn't return, so new talented people took over.

Here are some of the main voice actors for the show:

  • Tom McGrath continued to voice Skipper, the brave leader of the penguin team. He also voiced Zombie Skipper.
  • Jeff Bennett became the voice of Kowalski, the smart and inventive penguin. He also voiced Rat 1, Pidgeon, and Spell.
  • John DiMaggio returned as Rico, the crazy penguin who can swallow and spit out anything. He also voiced Bada, Burt, Rattlesnake, and Bitsy Wildcat.
  • James Patrick Stuart took on the role of Private, the youngest and sweetest penguin. He also voiced Joey and the Delivery Man.
  • Danny Jacobs voiced King Julien XIII, the fun-loving lemur king, and Roy.
  • Kevin Michael Richardson voiced Maurice, King Julien's loyal helper, and also Rat 2 and Bing.
  • Andy Richter continued to voice Mort, the small, adorable lemur who loves King Julien's feet.
  • Nicole Sullivan voiced Marlene, an otter who is a good friend to the penguins.
  • Neil Patrick Harris was a special guest star, voicing Dr. Blowhole, a tricky dolphin.

The Penguins' Adventures

The show is all about the penguins' secret missions to protect the zoo and sometimes even the world! They use their special skills and teamwork to solve problems. Their adventures often involve other zoo animals, especially King Julien and his lemur friends, Maurice and Mort. The penguins are always ready for action, whether it's stopping a villain or just trying to keep things calm at the zoo.
