The story is told "deeper"

I haven't seen Madagascar before, but I think this film is not about saying that cuteness can conquer everything, but about two more profound truths.
1 person must have self-knowledge: the boss of the elite squad will be unified and planned by the North Wind agent in the next battle. This is the absolute tolerance and wise choice of the leader, so self-knowledge is invaluable. The most important thing for a team is execution, and Penguin bosses are all wishful thinking and based on theory. Little Wolf's combat planning system is impeccably executed.
2. Don't underestimate the rookie: The scene where the rookie continued to return to rescue the boss after rescuing his teammates from the North Wind Special Forces was particularly touching. It is precisely because he is a rookie that he is not afraid of new-born calves and is not afraid of tigers. I think young people should have this kind of intrusion. Being too conservative may miss a lot of timing. Sometimes the greater the risk, the greater the chance, but then the transition to the serum was a bit blunt, as if there was no good reason to cure everyone. It's also more fun to use a cute form for the final ending, after all, is it still a cartoon? If the positioning of the cartoon is 6-12 years old, the overall shooting is still very good-looking, funny, and very cute. But I still think the cutest big-eyed owl is here. As far as a cartoon can tell such a deep thing, I think it is too deep for children.

Penguins of Madagascar quotes

  • Dave: [holding a microphone] I'M HAPPY! And yet...

    [realizes his revenge succeeded]

    Dave: Now, that I have my revenge, I feel... empty. As if, what I needed all along was... MORE REVENGE! In fact, Robin, write this down. Tomorrow, we move on: Kittens, then Puppies, Bunnies, Pandas...

    [he sees the Penguins' using his ray, gasping, then is angry]

    Dave: [talking to his minions on the microphone] Charlize, they're on the ray!

  • Skipper: [Dave drops from the ceiling in human disguise] Who are you?

    Dave: The humans know me as Doctor Octavius Brine, renowned geneticist, cheese enthusiast, and frequent donor to NPR pledge drives... but you know me by a different, much older name. A name perhaps you hoped you'd never hear again. A PHANTOM! A shadow of a former life! I... AM...

    [rips off disguise, but wig remains on his head]

    Dave: Dave!
