The Penguins of Madagascar/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Reveal of the Secret Test in "Command Crisis", where the team hears a recording of Skipper praising their strengths and talking about how he wanted to make certain they could handle themselves if something ever happened to him.
  • The ending of "Cute-astrophe". When Alice finds the caged penguins and announces that they'll finally be out of her hair because they're being shipped to Copenhagen, all the zoo patrons protest, forcing her to concede and let them stay.
  • The penguins getting all teary-eyed over having to let Eggy go, and wondering if he'll remember them. At the end, Eggy repeats Skipper's catch phrase, "Cute and cuddly, boys!"
  • "I Was a Penguin Zombie". The premise of the episode was that Skipper got a broken wing, and in an attempt to escape the hospital room, triggers a series of events which make Skipper look like a zombie, and the others take the appropriate conclusion and start trying to kidnap him (they want to see if they can cure him) in a very painful manner (thanks to the muscle numbing cream severely limiting speech, he can't tell them otherwise). The ending, the effects of the cream finally wearing off and Skipper finally convincing everyone he's not a zombie is what earns it the place on this list.
  • "An Elephant Never Forgets".

"But he always forgives."

  • Skipper doesn't want a shot, so he hides. To get Skipper out of trouble, Private volunteers to take his shot. Skipper sees it and then finds out that Private could get really sick (or more!) by taking two shots in the same day...so Skipper bucks up and takes the shot.
  • The ending of "When the Chips Are Down", especially this image. [dead link]
