When Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private cross paths with the covert animal-intelligence team North Wind, their usual antics turn into a mission to stop a revenge-minded octopus from wiping out penguins everywhere. Tom McGrath leads the quartet’s no-nonsense commander, while Benedict Cumberbatch is Classified, the polished wolf heading North Wind. John Malkovich voices Dave, also known as Dr. Octavius Brine, a former zoo and aquarium star with a long memory and a global scheme. The movie spins the Madagascar side characters into a globe-hopping spy story packed with gadgets, disguises and bickering team dynamics.
