Penguins the night before Christmas
10 January 2016
This was the first short spin off of the Penguins of Madagascar. The main characters just turn up at the end.

It is an agreeable short which kids will like especially with the Sgt Bilko riff mixed with Tony Curtis's impression of Cary Grant in Some like it Hot.

On Christmas Eve the youngest penguin, Private is sad that the polar bear at the zoo is all alone while the rest seem to be happy the night before Christmas.

The rest of the penguins realise that Private has wandered off to find the polar bear a present and before long an elderly lady has taken him to her New York apartment and it is up to the rest to rescue him especially as she has a vicious poodle after him.

It is decent enough animation for a short with some inventive moments and some fast moving action.
