Series Overview

The Penguins of Madagascar is a spin-off of the Madagascar films, which takes place after the second movie. The series follows the adventures of four penguins: Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico, who perform various paramilitary missions to protect their home in the Central Park Zoo. The penguins are constantly opposed by a trio of lemurs, Julien, Mort and Maurice, who believe that Julien is the rightful ruler of the zoo.

While it is not known how the penguins and lemurs arrived at the zoo after their adventures in both Madagascar films, the show’s opening features the penguins opening a crate which reads “Madagascar” and contains the three lemur characters. DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg has stated that “there is at least one more chapter. We ultimately want to see the characters make it back to New York.”

Characters

Penguins
Skipper (voiced by Tom McGrath) is the leader of the penguins, who forms tactics and gives orders. He is usually cool-headed, calculating with exaggerated bravado. He usually views everything as some type of covert military operation. He is shown to have a secret fear of needles. He can’t step foot in Denmark for unknown reasons. Sometimes in the series, we see Skipper have a coffee cup with a fish in it. He has a nemesis named Dr. Blowhole.
Kowalski (voiced by Jeff Bennett) acts as the group strategist and gadgeteer. Kowalski is highly intelligent, but tends to over-analyze situations.
Rico (voiced by John DiMaggio) is the team’s weapons and explosives specialist, who mainly communicates through grunts and squeals. Rico swallows useful tools, such as dynamite, and regurgitates them when needed. He has a scar on his left cheek, and he is also shown in love with a Barbie-like doll.
Private (voiced by James Patrick Stuart) is the emotionally sensitive rookie of the group, who has a knack for cracking codes. Though less experienced than the other penguins, he is shown to be the most down-to-earth. He has a British accent and is sometimes prone to accidents.

Lemurs
King Julien (voiced by Danny Jacobs) is a ring-tailed lemur and the self-proclaimed lemur king. Julien is a comically selfish, self centered character who has little regard for his “subjects”, Maurice and Mort. He has a tendency to use malapropisms and misinterpret figures of speech.
Maurice (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is an aye-aye who is one of Julien’s subjects. While Maurice accepts his life as a servant, he often shows disdain towards Julien and his hare-brained ideas. He has a crush on the baboon named Darla who stole Julian’s groove.
Mort (voiced by Andy Richter) is an accident-prone mouse lemur. Unlike Maurice, Mort is fiercely devoted to Julien, even displaying an obsession with the lemur king’s feet. However, Julien treats him with contempt.
