Werner Herzog Voices A Documentary Filmmaker In 'Penguins Of Madagascar' Clip

Werner Herzog wants to teach you about penguins. We had no idea that the filmmaker with one of the world's best voices had lent his talents to the DreamWorks Animation spin-off The Penguins of Madagascar. And yet here he is, as the voice of a documentarian leading a crew shooting footage of penguins in their natural habitat. Herzog's presence in a kids film turns out to be just as great as you'd hope. As March of the Penguins parodies go, the only way this could be any better is if Morgan Freeman's omniscient narrator showed up to get into a fist-fight with Herzog's documentarian. Check out the Werner Herzog Penguins of Madagascar appearance in the extended clip below.
