The Penguins of Madagascar Goes Global
When I first saw the movie Madagascar, my favorite characters were the penguins. Apparently, I was not alone in thinking this—the penguins now have their own Nickelodeon cartoon, which is about to go global.
MTV Networks International, owned by Viacom, Inc., has signed agreements with multiple international broadcast partners across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Latin America, to air its CG-animated Nickelodeon comedy series, The Penguins of Madagascar, from Nickelodeon and DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.
Recently launched for international syndication, The Penguins of Madagascar is based on the penguins from DreamWorks Animation’s feature films, Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.
More than 40 program sales deals have been closed in all major markets including China, Brasil, France, Italy, Hong Kong, Mexico, and the UK.
