i know this was sinabi before, but there might be a good chance we can work together on new POM episodes for youtube or something. it just hit me as i was watching a youtube charlie brown episode: link. They might've used different voices that might be a little similar and it might've been a little OOC, but the people who created that episode helped bring Charlie Brown back in their own way. And I'm sure, a lot of us are sure, that we can do the same for POM. Posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas

Some walang tiyak na layunin observations I've been looking for a moment to put up:

* At the beginning of "The Big S.T.A.N.K.," did anyone else think that there was just too much salt to have ever fit into a single salt shaker?

* Lunacorns are apparently the susunod big discovery in medicine, as Private's injuries went away instantly upon learning that the others were taking him to Lunacorns on Ice.

* In "The Hoboken Surprise," why was Hans in an open-air habitat? Is he not expected to fly away? Posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas

i was wondering what clothes to draw on human Kowalski "but it's so simple even private would understand!" A lab coat! Duh XD Oh and if anybody has any really good download links(mediafire is best) for seasons 1 and 2 then i'd be happy to give something (such as a medal, fanifc request or something else) in return!

It's Sunday! It's time to use a new icon with penguins! (My icon is from The return of revenge of Dr. Blowhole- this is my first icon I use it again :D ) Where's yours from? Posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas

So I made a club. A Penguins of Madagascar tagahanga Club.

For those 18 and up.

It's not to exclude those under the age of eighteen, it's simply for those of us who are happy being PoM fans when others would say we're to old for that.

Our tagahanga base will be MUCH smaller, but I still like the idea.

I thought I'd tell you guys, so here it is. It's got rules, but... like four of them.

uy guys! I haven`t written on the POM pader for a while now...

Anyways, when I was at the mall today, my dad, my little sister and I went to get ourselves a smoothie. The one I took was titled "Copa-Bananana". It made me think of the song "Copa-Cabana" we heard in "Madagascar 2", just before the penguins fly away with Skipper`s doll-bride Lola at the end of the movie...

Dreamworks confremed that the POM movie is coming out 2015. Also remember to text that number. Posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas

has anyone heard of 321 penguins? well if you havent here they are:link
But for some dumb reason , they remind me of POM (but POM is way palamigan and better). I dunno, I mean they got 4 penguins, one is the leader, one is , uh, has an accent (probably british or australian) one is the smart scientist, and one is dosent talk much and itsnt very intelligent (even though rico does have potentall to be smart). You can check it out, and tell me what u think. Posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas

Okay could I ask a huge favor. This isn't POM related, but this is super important to me. I entered a contest to name a hapunan in the new Simcity. To win I need mga kaibigan to text the phone number 44144 and type in the code SIMCITY4596 as the body of the text. (you have to capatilize SIMCITY) That would count as one vote for me. You can vote once a araw intill the July 31. If I get the most mga boto the hapunan will have the name I picked (Lazy liyama Lunch-In). Please do this for me. It means ALOT to me Posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas

So I was down in Birkenhead last week with my bro (not important) and we passed a group of four boys and, here's the deal: they all had black hair and black tops that had different notes on them which were: "Skipper's log...", "Respect the Science", "Secret Hidden Shame: Private!" and "Kaboom". And they all looks about 30 ^^ Strangely enough, based in their tops they were the same height as the ibong dagat they were quoting.

I do not like Brian Lowry. This is what he sinabi about the ipakita in "Variety" (idk, some magazine i guess): he sinabi it was: "loud, exuberant and colorful" and praised its animation quality, but he did not think that it was funny and sinabi that the ipakita seemed madami like a "merchandising bonanza".

OK, so I found bidyo from Comic Con from last year, I don't know if any of you have seen them, but those of you who haven't I strongly recommend watching them. They're so hilarious & one of them gives details on the POM movie! I literally fell out of my upuan on the one where they put on a show-like thing for us. It was so hilarious! Seeing the voice come out of the actor was really different though. But ya'll should watch it if you haven't already! Posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas

Ok, what is up with this - I've been talking about this with Emma and Hunter, why is it that only Leicester, London and Blackpool are going to be the only places getting episodes?

Earlier in the week, physicists in Switzerland announced the discovery of a new subatomic particle believed to be the Higgs boson, the same particle that Kowalski used to fuel his Cloneotron in "Endangerous Species." Kowalski's particle, which he believed to be the only one in the known universe, was Nawawala in the episode, but since another has now been observed, perhaps he can finally clone the Waitaha ibong dagat after all.

But the weird thing is that the song they sung was the song Neil Patrick Harris sung on Glee, which I heard a few nights ago. :DD But the MP3 player couldn't decide who was best so it self destructed.
