THE MADAGASCAR PENGUINS IN A CHRISTMAS CAPER

All-New Whacked-Out Adventure Debuts November 15th on the MADAGASCAR DVD Offering Two Movies on One Activities-Packed Disc

GLENDALE, Calif., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico, the scene-stealing Penguins from the year's #1 family comedy and the $518 million box office hit MADAGASCAR, take top billing in their very own whacked out film THE MADAGASCAR PENGUINS IN A CHRISTMAS CAPER. Fresh from theaters, where it played alongside the critically-acclaimed hit movie WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT, this all-new holiday adventure will be featured on the MADAGASCAR DVD debuting November 15th. Available to own for a limited time, THE MADAGASCAR PENGUINS IN A CHRISTMAS CAPER follows young Private as he ventures out of the zoo on a solo mission and runs into yuletide trouble when he's mistaken for a Christmas toy. With Skipper, Kowalski and Rico leading a rescue mission to save Private Penguin, the hilarious and mischievous foursome stir up a bit of monochromatic mayhem along the way. Arriving just in time for holiday gift-giving, the MADAGASCAR DVD offers home audiences two movies on one DVD for only $19.95 (M.A.P.)

THE MADAGASCAR PENGUINS IN A CHRISTMAS CAPER SYNOPSIS

It's the holiday season and those zany Penguins are dreaming of a black and white Christmas, when the young Private notices that the Polar Bear is all alone with no one to share the holiday. Determined that no one should spend Christmas alone, the junior Private comes up with his own plan to bring a little Christmas cheer to his fellow zooster. Sneaking out of the zoo, the Private heads to the big city to do a little last-minute Christmas shopping for his friend.

When the other Penguins -- Skipper, Kowalski and Rico -- discover the Private missing, they form up and head out on a rescue mission to Save Private Penguin ... and not a minute too soon. Instead of buying a present, the Private has become one, and now finds himself stuffed in a stocking. If his fellow Penguins don't get there in time, the Private will be mincemeat come Christmas morning.
