The title was perfectly fine for the first movie, but baffling and ridiculous for subsequent entries in the franchise.
You have to keep labelling these movies where the characters (who were raised in New York) travel around the world, as "Madagascar". And it's never more awkward and confusing when they refer to "The Penguins of Madagascar".
It seems like terrible planning, but then I don't think it's hurt the box office at all, so I'll shut up.
I just wanted to chime in and say that the worst movie title ever is, "The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia." It's just another way for movie studios to try and cash in on a previously successful movie title. Much like Penguins of Madagascar...
shareSo much idiocy it hurts!! You couldn't get on my ignore list faster.
shareThe title is so stupid people will know that these are penguins of the same franchise. Now that you know, mission accomplished.
They were born in Antarctica, lived in zoos all over the world, and we first met them in Madagascar.
Hey, the NY Giants and Jets play in New Jersey. Go harass them on their sites.
Yup, this show requires its audience to be a little smarter than average. Or older. Or both. Which explains why it doesn't do well with the average crowd. Personally, I find the Penguins absolutely hilarious and this movie is no exception. Sherman & Peabody suffered from the same advantage, also a great movie.
