Skipper, Kowalski, Rico & Private Star In New THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR Trailer

Featuring the voices of Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Christopher Knights, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ken Jeong, Annet Mahendru, Peter Stormare and John Malkovich, here’s your first look at the brand new and funny trailer for 20th Century Fox’s and DreamWorks Animation’s THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR.

Super spy teams aren’t born…they’re hatched. Discover the secrets of the greatest and most hilarious covert birds in the global espionage biz: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private.

These elitists of the elite are joining forces with a chic undercover organization, The North Wind.

Here’s a rundown of the team:

AGENT CLASSIFIED (Voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch)

First of all, his name is actually classified, and not “Classified.”  The leader of the North Wind — a spy agency that helps animals in need – he’s a highly-trained but cocky secret agent who underestimates the Penguins’ operation.

SHORT FUSE (Voiced by Ken Jeong)

Short Fuse may look like a plush toy but he’s a force to be reckoned with. An explosives expert for North Wind, Short Fuse lives up to his name through his touchy temper, but he keeps it in check around his idol, Classified.

EVA (Voiced by Annet Mahendru)

Don’t let the seductive Russian accent fool you; Eva is far more than just a pretty face. As an intelligence analyst for North Wind, she’s a thrill-seeking, brainy beauty with a killer instinct.

CORPORAL (Voiced by Peter Stormare)

Measuring 8 feet tall and armored in 1,000 pounds of muscle, this Norwegian bear’s brawn masks a soft spot for all things cute, especially our four Penguins.

Together, they must stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine, voiced by John Malkovich, from destroying the world as we know it.

For those who may need a refresher course on the Penguins:

SKIPPER (Voiced by Tom McGrath)

The team’s fearless leader and keeper of the penguin code, Skipper demands loyalty, obedience and order from his regimented flock. Skipper asks nothing of his men that he won’t do himself.

KOWALSKI (Voiced by Chris Miller)

Kowalski is the brains of the operation. Possessing a photographic memory and a mechanical engineer’s gift for problem solving, he’s the go-to guy when the penguins need a quick, life-saving fix.

RICO

Rico lives to blow things up.  When he’s kept on a tight leash, Rico is an effective weapon but left to his own devices, he’s a loose cannon… in more ways than one.

PRIVATE (Voiced by Christopher Knights)

Though he’s the runt of the rook, Private has the biggest heart of them all.  He’s always up for new challenges, but because the group still sees Private as the “baby,” he’s often sidelined during their missions.

THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR hits theaters everywhere on November 26, 2014 in 3D.
