The trailer, which first debuted on MovieFone, showcases the penguins’ skills, including getting out of any dangerous situation, and eating cheesy snacks, and is playing against Kenny Loggins’s ‘Danger Zone.’

The film features the voices of Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Chris Knights, John Malkovich, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ken Jeong, Annett Mahendru and Peter Stormare.

DreamWorks Animation has released the following synopsis for ‘The Penguins of Madagascar’:

Discover the secrets of the most entertaining and mysterious birds in the global espionage game: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private now must join forces with the chic spy organization, the North Wind, led by Agent Classified (we could tell you his name, but then … you know), voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch to stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine, voiced by John Malkovich, from taking over the world.
