History Fridge / PenguinsOfMadagascar

* How does Eva leave [[CoveredInKisses lipstick kisses all over Kowalski’s face? She doesn’t even have lipstick..... or lips for that matter.

* When Skipper explains his plan to the North Wind, he says that they will “feast on Dave’s sweet remains”, in the real world, some species of penguins eat squid. I’ll let you piece together the rest.

* The reason Dave's sub was faster than the plane wasn't because of the penguin's "cheese dible based diet", but because the agents were loading the plane down with a boat.

* When Skipper explains his plan to the North Wind, he says that they will “feast on Dave’s sweet remains”, in the real world, some species of penguins eat squid. Who’s to say he didn’t mean it literally?

* During their escape from the plane, the penguins crash through the roof of a plane, harass it's pilot then opens an airlock and clips the tip of the wing. If you know about aviation disasters, planes have had fatalities (if not outright crashes) for much less.

* The theme of the film is about wanting to be important and valued. Dave became evil because he resented the fact that every zoo he went to, he was overshadowed by penguins and he plans to [[spoiler:turn every penguin in the world into a monster in order to get his revenge on them for taking away his importance]]. Private's main conflict is that he resents the fact he is not treated as a valued member of the team and the penguins as a whole feel that they are not valued by the North Wind. They all feel that it is their right to be considered important and valued. By the end, [[spoiler:Private is accepted as a valued member of the team due to perseverance, bravery and doing what's right, the penguins get accepted by the North Wind due to their single-handedly stopping Dave while Dave gets HoistByHisOwnPetard and is defeated by the device that he made in order to get his revenge]]. The message at the end is "You do have a right to be respected and valued; but it's a right you have to ''earn''".

* Why does Classified repeatedly refer to the Penguins as "pengwings"? Because he's played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who rather famously [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GnLDJAgrws couldn't pronounce the same word!]]

* Why are the 'professional' spy's so dismissive of the penguins? Because their all predators, whereas the penguins are all prey!

* The adorable little squid that Skipper interrogates in Shanghai? He was probably sold afterwards and eaten.

* The HoYay between Private and Ricco near the beginning of the film makes sense seeing as penguins are one of the animals most reported to have homosexual members.

* Why was the serum that mutated the penguins called the Medusa Serum? Well, consider the results of the serum and then the legend behind Medusa.

* Why is it Dave/Octavius Brine can talk to humans when no animal has been able to as established in the first movie? Cephalopods, ESPECIALLY Octopi have been noted to have an intellect that can sometimes rival even humans, so it comes as no surprise that one could learn the human tongue.
