Penguins of Madagascar [Includes Digital Copy] [3D] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Gift Set] [Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D/DVD] [2014]

I saw this movie on a whim with a friend from work. It's both funny and witty. And maybe it's the few beers I had first, but I really enjoyed it. Check it out if you're into pixar style animation and wise cracking animals. The very best part of the Madagascar films doing what they do best!

Pros: Dreamworks doesn’t disappoints! 3D was in the middle range but it’s awesome to watch on an OLED with a 4k 60HZ upscale player. Cons: Only 5.1 surround This is the third Dreamworks disc that has a defect that cause an interruption were the picture & sound goes out for a quick second or two. Only once throughout the movie. It happpened on Turbo, Madagascar 3 & this one too, all 3D. Never checked to see if the 2D Blu or DVD has it. I double checked to see if it was the disc & not me by rewinding & sure enough, it would happen again in the same spot. Same goes for the others I mentioned.

My students love this movie, in the other hands my son was so so about the movie.

I didn't have much expectations when I bought the movie for my kids and only because it was at a great sale price. Hindsight, I should have sprung for the 3D version for a few dollars more :( Movie blew my expectations out of the water and Graphics were great!! Great addition to the Madagascar collection. LOTS of humor for all ages (there's several that only adults would catch on to), and story line was entertaining, of course, it revolves around the penguins...of Madagascar. My boys (5 and 2) watches it over and over, and I have seen it more than once, which is saying alot. The 2 toys that came with this bundle were Cheap and the winding mechanism konked out after a few days with the boys, but they were just extras that didn't cost any more for the bundle..good freebies.

OK - When I hear "...Madagascar" I almost start to cry. I hate the song - I hate the weasel (or whatever he is), but I LOVE THE PENGUINS! Now, they have their own movie & guess what? They hate the song & the weasel, too! This is ONE FUNNY MOVIE!!! The lunch box is GREAT! The toys are - ehh... I got two sets (two toys/set) and one set worked and the other does not. Hey, they're free. If they work - give 'em to the kids; if not, target practice. Either way, GET THE MOVIE!!!

These characters were always my favorites in the Madagascar movie! Their sad attempts at being an elite special forces unit has never ceased to leave me in stitches in the past. The movie did not fail either. A co-worker bought it (upon seeing my Madagascar Penguin plush on my desk) and said she loved it. I found it at Best Buy while perusing random DVD's and had to get it. It far exceeded my expectations! If you love the Madagascar Penguins, this movie is for you!

Overall this movie is certainly worth owning. The 3D was consistent throughout the film with plenty of "pop-out" effects to be enjoyed. The story was fun to watch, even for those who are familiar with Penguin series aired on Nickelodeon. We gave this movie only 4 stars because we felt the story could have been slightly better and was lacking a few additional 3D effects. As owners and raters of a fan-based 3D website, top103Dmovies.com, this movie didn't make our top 10 list but we still would recommend it as we fell it would still be watched again in the future.
