The penguins (left to right): Private, Kowalski, Skipper and Rico.

Despite being firm and practically incapable of relaxation, Skipper continues to lead the penguins to success on almost every mission.

It is rumored that he and Marlene are in a romantic relationship.

He is the brains of the outfit, concocting complex plans in mere seconds for Skipper and the others to instigate almost immediately.

In the films, Kowalski is voiced by Chris Miller with a broad American accent, but in the television series The Penguins of Madagascar he is voiced by Jeff Bennett with a slight English accent.

In the Christmas special The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper and the consequent TV series The Penguins of Madagascar, Rico has become an almost psychotic penguin with spiked hair, a scar down his face and the ability to regurgitate all manner of inanimate objects.

Private is characterized by his bulging eyes that occasionally look different ways as seen on promotional images, and he speaks with a squeaky British accent.

In the films, Private is voiced by Christopher Knights, and in the TV series, he is voiced by James Patrick Stuart.

In the film, the penguins attempt to escape from Central Park Zoo in New York City and make their way to Antarctica.

They are captured when found waiting for a train in Grand Central Station, and are sent along with the other characters to a wildlife park in Kenya.

However, on arriving in Antarctica, the penguins become unimpressed with the barren wasteland before them, with Private haughtily commenting: Well, this sucks.

However, Skipper decides not to tell the other animals stranded on the island, telling the other penguins to: Just smile and wave, boys Smile and wave.

In the story, Private sets out to buy a Christmas present for Ted the Polar Bear (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke), but is accidentally kidnapped and attacked by a psychotic poodle, with the other penguins rushing to rescue him.

However, the plane crash-lands somewhere in mainland Africa, and the penguins spend much of the film repairing the plane.

It is during this film that Skipper falls in love with a wooden doll of a Hawaiian dancer that had been kept in the planes cockpit, which he marries at the end of the film.

It is revealed in this film that the inhabitants of the North Pole and the South Pole are in a long and bitter cold war with one another over allegations that Santa Claus once lived at the South Pole, but was lured away by cheap elf labour.
