History

Constant Delay (2006-2008)

In Fall 2006, the creator of Madagascasr and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, has thought of a great plan for a spin-off series to the Madagascar films that stars the Penguins of the films. In the Summer of 2007, Nickelodeon (TV Channel) and Dreamworks Animation have approved to create a Nicktoon based on the films, "Madagascasr". This new series will end up starring the Penguins from the two Madagascasr films. Nothing has been confirmed on what the series is about, or what the main plot is going to be when it premieres. At first, in November 2007, Nickelodeon has advertised a sneek peak of three new Nicktoons coming to Nickelodeon, "The Mighty B!", "Making Fiends", and "Penguins!" all on November 25, 2007 part of SuperStuffed Nicktoons Weekend. In December 2007, Nickelodeon has advertised many events that'll be premiering on Nickelodeon in 2008 (The Mighty B!, Fairly OddBaby, Penguins!, KCA 2008, Sidekicks, and Pest of the West). In April 2008, The Mighty B! made it's debut, and Making Fiends in October 2008 on Nicktoons Network. Later in September 2008, Nickelodeon has recently changed the working title to The Penguins of Madagascar. Since then, TPoM has been delayed at least twice in 2008, and is seeing a debut for sometime in 2009, most likey due to Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is delayed to November 7, 2008.
