According to First Showing<\/a> and The Hollywood Reporter, the writers of “Megamind”, Alan J. Schoolcraft and Brent Simons, will bring the penguins from “Madagascar” their own adventure in their own movie. <\/p>\n

The penguins have become some of the most popular characters from “Madagascar”, having been in a short “The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper” and starring in their own spin-off show, “The Penguins of Madagascar”, which, according to The Hollywood Reporter, came in second in Nickelodeon’s most-watched children’s shows (the show only finished second behind juggernaut “SpongeBob SquarePants”). The Nickelodeon “Penguins” show is now in its second season, showing the popularity of the characters. <\/p>\n

At this point, now director or release date has been set, but, seeing as how popular these penguins are with children, I’m fairly certain this movie will bring a lot of parents’ money to the box-office when the film is released. <\/p>\n

Though, since the penguins are going to get their own movie, will it only be a matter of time before King Julien, Maurice, and the other lemurs get their own movie? Sacha Baron Cohen and Cedric the Entertainer headlining a children’s movie sounds like box-office gold, at least from a studio head’s perspective. <\/p>\n

Anyways, what do you think about this “Penguins” movie? Are you tired of rehashed ideas?<\/p>\n
