Anything outside the realm of possibilty is fodder for coverage here at SciFi Mafia, and that includes talking cartoon animals. Due to time constraints, not everything gets covered. We pick and choose daily what the most important things for that day are and must be posted. The Penguins of Madagascar would have typically been less important for us to post, but if Benedict Cumberbatch can find the time to lend his voice as Classified, then I can find the time to post a trailer for his movie.

Trailer: The Penguins of Madagascar

I most likely would have easily skipped this movie both as a posting option, and even as a viewing option in our home because we’ve BEEN THERE, DONE THAT with the Madagascar movies, but the casting of Benedict Cumberbatch and John Malkovich have not only gotten me to watch the trailer, but have swayed me to watch the movie. Well played, DreamWorks.

The Penguins of Madagascar featuring the voices of Benedict Cumberbatch, John Malkovich, Ken Jeong and Andy Richter is slated to hit theaters November 26th, 2014.
