DreamMachine Episode 31: Penguins of Madagascar

In this episode of DreamMachine, Patricia and Arun discuss about
the 2014 DreamWorks animated film, Penguins of Madagascar, a
spinoff from the Madagascar series. Taken place after the events
of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, Private feels left out
from the rest of his penguin companions when he's being compared
as the "mascot" of the group. While in Fort Knox to retrieve a
discontinued snack food, the penguins are kidnapped and sent to
Venice where they confront an evil octopus named Dave. But then
they're rescued by a group of animal agents called The North Wind
that's fighting Dave to protect the penguin population. The
penguins then learn of Dave's evil plan that threatens their
group and their fellow penguins and it's up to them to stop Dave
before it's too late.  


Despite making over $373 million dollars on a $132 million dollar
budget, it was considered to be a box office failure. Critics and
fans gave mixed to positive reviews on the film calling it fun,
fast, and brightly colorful, yet unoriginal, cliched, and lazy.
What do Patricia and Arun think of the last film of the
Madagascar series? Listen and find out.
