Penguins of Madagascar is a 2014 American animated action comedy film[8]. The fourth in the Madagascar film series, it was directed by Eric Darnell[9] and Simon J. Smith from a screenplay by Brandon Sawyer, Michael Colton and John Aboud.[2] Starring the voices of Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Christopher Knights, Conrad Vernon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ken Jeong, Annet Mahendru, Peter Stormare and John Malkovich, it takes place directly after the events of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (2012),[10] following the adventures of four Adélie penguins as they join forces with the North Wind intelligence agency to stop the Giant Pacific octopus Dave, who seeks revenge on all Adélie penguins across the Earth for being upstaged by capturing them.[8] The score was composed by Lorne Balfe.

Penguins of Madagascar was released theatrically in China on November 14, 2014, and in the United States on November 26, 2014.[2] The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with specific praise going to the vocal performances (particularly Cumberbatch and Malkovich), but despite grossing $373.5 million on a $132 million budget, the film underperformed by DreamWorks' standards. Along with Mr. Peabody & Sherman earlier that year, it lost the studio $57.1 million.[11]
