One of my favorite moments ever in a documentary comes from Encounters at the End of the World, where Werner Herzog follows a single penguin, of which he believes is depressed. It is such a strange and wonderful tangent in the film, and Herzog’s narration makes it so entertaining. Well, now that he is shifting into the self parody phase of his career, he is back to narrating penguins, this time for the upcoming Dreamworks animated film Penguins of Madagascar.
His addition to the film can be heard in a new clip from the movie, which you can watch below. I am not a fan of the previous Madagascar movies. I do not find them particularly funny, but this clip made me snicker a couple of times. I am not in a desperate need to see this movie, but I won’t hate myself walking into the theater. As for Herzog, I appreciate he understands why a lot of people find him funny, but I do not think he needs to exploit it so much.
Again, you can watch the new clip below.
