Well, so much for having the same quality animation. It's still pretty good for a "Saturday morning cartoon" though.
Mostly the show is about the penguins, but they've thrown in King Julian and his cronies, as well as the spider monkeys and a newcomer female otter.
I can't really put my finger on it, but the penguins just don't come across as funny as they are in the movies. Perhaps it's the 15 minute format, or the fact that they deal mostly with other animals (I always found them funniest when they were knocking out humans and stealing their cargo container ships), whatever it is they just don't seem to pull it off as well as they do in the movies. They could add a little more spider monkey into the shows, they were always pretty funny. Still, it is an entertaining series. Definitely better than your usual cheapo cartoon.
I can't believe all the people giving this series ten stars. It's not bad, but not 10 stars worth.
