Madagascar

Private

Private is the emotionally sensitive, British-accented rookie of the Penguins of Madagascar. Though younger and less experienced than the other penguins, he is the most down to earth and compassionate. Private tends to offer simpler, more commonsense solutions in response to Skipper and Kowalski’s complex strategies, often in an understated tone while those strategies are falling apart. He also has an affinity for unicorns.
