Benedict Cumberbatch can turn anything into gold


I thought the trailer was hilarious! The characters look lovable, and when Classified came on I almost lost it! That Cheetos scene was so funny...and only an actor like Benedict can pull off sounding posh while keeping his comedic timing in check. I'd love to see this on the big screen.

Yeah I was hoping for the same thing in the hobbit. ...but alas...

I watched the trailer for The Penguins, and it seems pretty good.

As for the Hobbit, I really like it. Although it's not as good as LotR

I totally agree with everything you just said.

I loved the trailer. Skipper and his team were the more entertaining characters in Madagascar. I'm glad that they're getting a movie of their own. They've got a lot of adventures than the rest of them.

When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives.

Really funny movie, the penguins more then carried their weight. I hope we get a 2nd movie like this in the future.

But he can't say "penguins"! He says "pengwings" or "penglings". Funniest part of the movie.

reply

lol! In the movie?! I know he did a documentary on penguins and surely he couldn't say the word properly - I can't believe he still can't! Or was it deliberate? Either way that's hilarious!

sounded fine to me maybe your ears need testing.

yes , sounded fine to me.

I also heard him pronounce it incorrectly

Benedict can be so hilarious besides being scary as a dragon! Every Classified line in Penguins was so flawlessly delivered!

reply

Yes I will see it if I know benedict is a part of it.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

You can't really count comedic timing in a scene like this. Each line is recorded multiple times and then they pull the best ones (and slide those 3 words 50ms left).

my thoughts exactly,

it does amaze me how they edit this animated / game voice actors so well, i think it is rare for the cast to be in the same room at the same time, to do stuff.
