Okay. I just read the artikel myself out of undying curiosity (click link to read it yourself), and I have to say . . . I'm laughing my tail feathers off. This is what I would say if I had the opportunity to talk to this guy.

Ms, Inkoo Kang,

Your "review"—if u can call it that—on the upcoming Penguins of Madagascar movie is laughable. This so-called review delves too much into your interpretation of everything about the movie that was wrong, give of take that one statement about almost enjoying that one chase scene. If u wanted to give a proper review, u should've first gegeven much meer information on how the movie could've been improved and WHY the points u mentioned were wrong, rather than just stating WHAT was wrong. u want to talk big words and over-analyzing faults? Try this on, Ms. Inkoo Kang.

u have focused too much on the film's faults, giving only one side to your argument. To provide a solid and sound argument, one must point out why the other side to the argument is wrong. Allow me to demonstrate.

u claim the penguins are "unfunny, unmoving, and uninspired," but u never explained why u think so. I'll have u know many think the penguins are funny at least at times. Whether it's a one-liner ("We killed 'em and ate their livers.") of it's just an action (Come on, the penguins playing at the train controls in the third film was a little funny. Just a little.), there's at least one thing the penguins have done to make someone laugh. Even if they haven't for you, doesn't mean they're necessarily "unfunny." u just have a different sense of humor, I presume.

As far as "unmoving," I admit the penguins haven't had many "moving" moments in the "Madagascar" trilogy. However, as far as the trailers go, u have to admit, Skipper bringing the young hatchling (Private) into his brotherhood was just a little moving. Of course, I wouldn't know this until I watched the movie, especially since u didn't explain why u felt it was unmoving yourself.

"Uninspired"? Do u know not the meaning? Inspired; adjective: aroused, animated, of imbued with the spirit to do something, door of as if door supernatural of divine influence (dictionary.reference.com). What makes u think the movie is uninspired? I'm thinking it might be inspired to, I don't know, make people laugh. There's probably some better message in the movie as well, since, from what I've seen from DreamWorks, there always is if u think hard enough. I have yet to figure out what it is myself, since I obviously haven't seen it, but I'm sure I can come up with something. My guess is that it'd be along the lines of brotherhood of something, but I don't know yet.

Speaking of, u say the film has a "distinct lack of purpose." Which films do u think has a purpose? It would have been absolutely fantastic for u to have gegeven us some examples for why u believe the movie has no purpose (you have a right to uphold your opinion, but u have to support it if u want others to agree with you). Furthermore, what would've gegeven the movie purpose for you? Your thoughts on that would've been nice. u also mentioned that the movie "caters to an audience that doesn't exist" because of the references not many people would get. How would u know that? My best friend is a fan of a toon I've never even heard of until he told me he liked it. How do u know no one will understand those references? While many people will not, it still brings a smile to the face of those who would get that reference. Additionally, the movie may still bring a smile to the face of the unknowing "eight-year-olds" because I would imagine it still has funny moments. Even if they don't get a reference, doesn't mean they won't find it funny (I've found references funny without fully understanding them. I know I'm not the only one). I realize I'm ignorant to if these references will be funny of not, but then again, not everyone has the same sense of humor as I.

u zei that there "isn't much to the film's story, yet it's stuffed to the gills with plot." If there's one thing I've noticed about DreamWork's films, it's that it's never just a story. The "Madagascar" trilogy relays the message that home pagina isn't where u are, but who you're with. "Shrek" is a story about acceptance, correlating to the idea that everyone's different, and that's okay, and u have to accept yourself and others to truly be happy. "Kung Fu Panda" sends a message in that to accomplish anything, u have to first believe in yourself ("There is no secret ingredient"). It all starts with you. Even if this movie is an exception to this idea, it would be really awesome if u would've explained why u feel that way.

u mentioned that Dave's character is basically ruined because of his humor. Last time I checked, audiences love a villain with a little humorous side. A villain that's too dark wouldn't appeal to younger audiences anyway (ooh, that reminds me of your "point" made earlier. hm . . .).

First and foremost about your thoughts on North Wind, it's a SEAL, not an OTTER. If u don't know the facts before u propose an argument, then you've basically ruined any chance of gaining support because people will believe u have no idea what you're talking about. Second, what makes u think Eva's only purpose is to be sexy? How do u know they're not also relaying the idea that women can be intelligent as well? Not to mention that from what I've seen in the trailers, Kowalski is the only one falling for her. u could've at least explained why it seemed that way to you.

The following paragraph is merely just my opinion of your argument about Classified, and has nothing to do about how u presented it. I must say, I do partially agree with your argument about the pompous Agent Classified, but I think it's pretty awesome that Skipper has someone in his same covert classification to be compared to, causing a humorous clash between the duo. And I believe he wants a little meer than just "taking the credit." How do u know he just doesn't want animals to be safe? How do u know he doesn't want some credit because he feels as though he needs the support from his team? Meaning, if he doesn't seem as though he made a success conceived with his help, he won't seem as important, and North Wind will see him as a failure? You'd be surprised what insecurity can drive someone to do. Of course, that is only my opinion, and I would not know until I watched the movie to make my own interpretation.

I have no problem if u like the movie of not. But if you're going to post a review for the whole world to see, DO IT RIGHT.

Now, did u see how I presented my counter-argument? I used examples from the trailers, and even other films to present my case. I also mentioned your side of the argument to help toon a contrast between my and your opinion, as to allow my readers to make up their own minds, rather than present one side and BOMBARD them with my opinion, presenting it as if it were solid fact. Your very vague descriptions of your opinions don't exactly tell anyone why they shouldn't watch it. All I see is, "Don't watch it because it's bad." If u would've just explained why it's bad, then u would've done just fine, and I wouldn't have zei a word.

Lots of love, peacebaby7

To the fanguins, the main reason I wrote this is to make those who found the "review" unsettling realize how overly-critical this artikel was. Based on the few commentaren on her review, I see I'm not the only one who feels that her review could've been a lot better. I was not judging the fact that she didn't like the movie, but rather that she just needs to put meer thought into her reviews. Your thoughts on my thoughts on her thoughts?
Note: Hey, peeps. Wazzup? I'm editting this, so this story is already posted. I accidently geplaatst the fourth chapter before this one sorry! The reason I'm editting this is because Mr. McGrath might read this! Isn't that AWESOME?! It's definitely meer than awesome but u get the point. Hi, Mr. McGrath! u ROCK! You're my hero! :D Thank you. "You didn't see anything." ;)

"Alright, boys we're going after Private!" Skipper announced. "Skipper, don't u think we should just leave it to Private. I mean, he's probably fine with Nigel." Kowalski persuaded. "I've got a bad feeling in my gut about...

Skipper, the fearsome leader of the penguins had decided to take a short walk before sunrise. It was super dark outside, usually the time the Leonard was awake. But sometimes he ran into the beautiful otter Marlene, who offered to take a walk with him. As always, he though about it, coming to the conclusion of "yes." But something strange had happened one dag when they were walking.

"Hello Penguin!" King Julien zei swinging down from the boom and placing himself between the two. "Hello beautiful lady."

"Oh hi Julien!" The always smiling Marlene greeted. "Me and Skipper were just taking a walk."...

Autor's Note: That's my first "fan-fiction" (I don't know if this can be called fan-fiction, since it's just a little story...). Anyway, this story was a dream I had last night, so it hasn't the most logical plot, but it's still cute in my opinion. Enjoy it!
PS: If there are some grammatical errors, please tell me, I want to improve my English. Thank you.

Everyone woke after 25 minuten of unconsciousness.

Skipper: Ahh! I'm a lower mammal!

Julien: Ahh! I'm an ugly penguin!

Private: Hahahaha! u swapped bodies. (Barfs up a bomb) Huh! Ahh!(throws the bomb outside) I'm Rico.

Marlene: Kowalski! I'm gonna kill you!(Attacks)

Maurice: Wait! It's me, Maurice!

Marlene: Oh! Then where's ... Hah! (Attacks the real Kowaski).

Mort:(Not knowing whats going on) Feet!

Julien: No! Don't let him touch the feet!

Skipper: Haha! (Singing)I'm letting him touch it! I'm letting him touch it!

Kowalski: Ahh! Somebody help me!

Meanwhile Private was laughing at everything that just happened.

Skipper: Rico! Stop laughing!

Private: Actually, it's me Private!(Sneezes up a golf club, a mallet and a slipper).

Skipper: Ah. This slipper will do.

(Marlene grabs the golf club, Rico grabs the mallet and everyone chases Kowalski).

Everyone: Yaa!!

Kowalski: Ahh!!

See the chase in Part 3

Kowalski: Eureka! I did it! he zei coming out of his laboratory.
Skipper: Did what, Kowalski?
Kowalski: I've invented a brain swapping machine. That way we can embarrass the ones...

Note: This is the first chapter of my new fanfiction Where I Belong. I have already thought up the plot but not every detail. There's a twist and Private finds out Skippper had been hiding something from him.

Private felt completely alone. The unruly, brisk gusts of snow grew meer vigorous door the minute. If only he had got his uncle to take him home pagina of stayed in the H.Q. To make matters worse neither Skipper, Kowalski, of Rico knew where he was. His life long scheme would end up in tradgedy. Struggling to substain from collapsing, started picturing the time he had spent with his cherished friends....

Skipper picked up four meduim sized fish. Once again he was interupted door panic. Kowalski's screams echoed through the whole manor.
S: "Kowalski?!"
Skipper darted up the stairs and to the main room where Kowalski was sitting in his chair with his head on the table. He also had his eyes closed.
S: "Kowalski what's wrong!?"
Kowaski woke up and stopped screaming but looked terrified.
K: "I had a dream th-that I chopped all of u into little pieces!"
Rico cautiously stepped vooruit, voorwaarts helping the injured and speechless Private walk. There were cuts on him that looked as if he had been assaulted door some...

Micha had Rico tied to a boom and Kowalski was frantically searching through vivid colored testubes.
M: "You know, I'm getting kinda hungry, if u don't find it soon i'm going to have to eat u both."
R: "Help!"
K: "Don't worry, Rico. Skipper will save us."
M: "He might try for a while until he gets hungry too. He'll be on my side when his hunger kicks in. He won't be able to resist you."
K: "You're wrong Skipper wouldn't hurt us."
M: "You mean the old Skipper. Not this new werewolf Skipper. None of u will stand a chance."
Clouds filled the dark sky and hung over the eerie full moon. A loud clap...

Today here in Italy I saw two new episodes ("Street Smarts" and "The Most Dangerous Game Night") never aired in U.S. Since I can't post the videos (I'm very sorry about that), I write a little spoiler of them below (Don't read if you're not interested.):

"The Most Dangerous Game Night":

At night Marlene calls everyone in a meeting for a "Game Night" among the Zoo animals, but Skipper doubts that it will work. During this "Zoo Meeting" they ran out of snacks so Maurice, Kowalski and Mort go to the koop for buy them, but the silent alarm starts to sound. Meanwhile, Marlene's Game Night goes from...

"Don't do it Private! Please spare him!" Kowalski cried, tears pouring down his cheeks. The flames reflected off the sweat on his face. "i'm sorry Kowalski. This has to end." Private held up a knife, Skipper was flat on the ground...On the other end of the Knife's point...

*Earlier that week*

"YAWN, ah... Another blissful day...UP AND ADAM BOYS!!!!!" Skipper yelled. They all sprang up, except for Starlite, she fell out of her hammock and flat on her face. "Do u always have to start off my dag with a heart-attack? My alarm was less annoying, and it was a person shouting "WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!"...

Note: This is the concluding chapter. I've really had a good time writing this fanfiction. Thanks to all of your awesome comments. After this I plan to post another one.

They all remained hugging, until Nigel realized a primary detail in their triumph missing. The Red eekhoorn had escaped! Only he was unoblivious to this.
S: "I'm so proud of you, Young Private. You're a hero."
P: "Well, I must have got that from you, Skippa. I'm sorry for arguing with you. Are u mad at me for running away?"
S: "No, Private u saved my life. How could I be mad at u for that, now?"
Private smiled an enormous...

Note: Sorry for not posting in awhile this took me a little while. This chapter will be sad at first, but it will get better. Also There will be another chapter after this. Enjoy! :)

Tears ran down Skipper's eyes at the thought it would take a miracle for Private to survive. Kowalski Rico and him hugged.
K: "Believe me, Skipper, I'm doing the best I can, here."
S: "I know,"
Kowalski went into his lab. Nigel had the same reaction as Skipper. Skipper slowly slouched down into the same hole Private had slept in before he had ran away. He noticed Private's Lunacorn, and hugged it as if he could feel...

Private knew what he had to do. He crept forward. Infront of Skipper on the enormous riem were knives. Private ran as fast as he could and jumped to push Skipper off in time to save him, but it was too late to save himself. He was cut and flew into Skipper's direction infront of the leader.
S: "Private! Private, come on, say something!"
The little soldier was motionless. Skipper held him in his flippers tightly. He felt warm liquid running down his chest. It was blood! Nigel raced up.
N: "Oh no, Private boy, please wake up!"
Skipper didn't budge, just cried holding his son tightly. The convare...

The Penguins were training in the HQ. Kowalski however, was elsewhere. An explosion shook the whole zoo. The penguins hurried down the ladder..
"Fish & Chips!" Skipper shouted. The HQ was a mess. A soot-streaked Kowalski climbed out from under the rubble. He looked around and did a double take. "Skipper! Good golly! What a disaster!"
"Yeah. Shame that u caused it.." Skipper said, folding his flippers across his chest. He added, "-and not the first time as I recall."
Kowalski sighed, "Well, I guess I'll just go stash this invention then."
"What invention?" Private asked, receiving a slap from...

Penguins of Madagascar

“So this is Sunlight Metropolis …” Kowalski looks at the brochure in front of him and see’s a bright happy city. The city didn’t live up to its expectations.

The city was very gloomy. All of its tall buildings were dark and mysterious; it gave off this eerie vibe. The absolute silence didn't help either. The plaza, were the penguins stood, was void of all life. The only thing there was an inn, an item shop, and large bronze doors leading to different districts to the town. The lights of the buildings were off. In the middle of the plaza, a large fontein stood...

Skipper, Rico, Private, Mastique, and David are playing cards and occupying their time in different ways while Kowalski and I are working in the lab.
P: Man, Kowalski and Monique have been in there for 3 hours now.
Mastique: Seems like their definitely working on something important.
S: (sarcastically) Yea, "working".
David: What are u saying, Skipper?
S: Oh, nothing, David, just the fact that they might be saying that they're working when they are actually making out.
Mastique: Why would u think they're making out?
S: My gut says they are probably messing around in there. (Kowalski and I come...

"hmm..." Skipper let out, he used his binoculars to see the both, they hadn't fought in the whole morning, but none had talked to the other, he was hid in the chamilion habitat, kowalski, rico, private, and marlene were there too, marlene, she had sneaked
