    Reintroducing myself to BlueSky - I’m Brent Simons. With Alan Schoolcraft, I’ve written MEGAMIND, THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR MOVIE. I’m also showrunner/executive producer of MEGAMIND VS. THE DOOM SYNDICATE & MEGAMIND RULES! I like geek stuff, dogs, and martial arts. #animation #screenwriting

    A fun fact about me: I've had dinner with the head writer for the Penguins of Madagascar movie, and he confirmed that the scene with the octopus shouting orders to his minions that are all just puns of celebrities' names was his favorite part to write ("Nicholas, cage them!" etc).

    Some lemurs I drew to help with @kbyrandart.bsky.social's Penguins of Madagascar project. I cannot overstate how absolutely perfect all of the animal designs in the original movie are. It's hard to tweak 'em even a little. But studying the real animal helps to get even the wee tweaks right.

    Do they watch Cinemassacre? Honestly, beavers make the movie more unique. Especially when this video was made even before the Penguins of Madagascar spin-off show and movie. Better Google search results too.

    (Retrieved off Twitter and Reddit) Apparently, we were going to have a Spider-Verse style reboot for Penguins of Madagascar before Dreamworks eventually rejected it and instead went for the Megamind sequel and upcoming Cocomelon movie. Holy grail, we were robbed. 🤯

    My honest opinion on Dreamworks is that they can make some great things, but they often sell out HARD. Best case scenario? You get a spin-off like Penguins of Madagascar or Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. Worst case scenario? They decide to make a fucking Cocomelon movie.

Looked into why I hadn’t heard about the Madagascar movies recently and I guess they shut the studio down and laid off hundreds after the Penguins movie was “a disappointment” (only made 300 million on a 170 million budget) I hate it here

    Someone brought this up on [the other site] but it’s interesting to see the difference between the Penguins Of Madagascar show and the MVA show visually. Penguins really has the benefit of the movie style being cartoony already, while MVA suffers due to the film’s more detailed approach.

    Movies he’s done with nutjob Kinski are always spellbinding, maybe because of the hate/love shenanigans of the two behind the scenes. But the one that cracks me up to this day, mostly because I didn’t see it coming when I first saw the movie, is his voice acting stint in Penguins of Madagascar! 🫡

    178) The Penguins of Madagascar It's definitely the weakest of the franchise. The penguins can't really carry a whole movie by themselves, and it really shows because basically all drama and serious moments fall incredibly flat. However, what doesn't is the humour, because this movie is hilarious.
