The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper is a computer-animated short produced by DreamWorks Animation, released in movie theaters and on DVD in 2005. The 12-minute film showcases the adventures of four penguins, sometimes known as the Madagascar Penguins, who live in the Central Park Zoo and believe they are spies.

It premiered in theaters on October 7, 2005 with the stop-motion computer-animated film, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
. The short was later included on the Madagascar
DVD, which was released on November 15, 2005.

The short was directed by animation veteran Gary Trousdale, produced by Teresa Cheng, and written by Michael Lachance.

In the story, the youngest penguin on the team, Private, slips out of the zoo on Christmas Eve to find a present for a lonely polar bear named Ted. While roaming the streets of Manhattan, he is captured by an old lady who mistakes him for a chew toy for her vicious dog, Mr Chew. The other three penguins, Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico, rescue Private from the old lady's Apartment before it's too late.

Trivia

The old lady who captures Private in this short film also played a cameo part in Madagascar
as the lady who beat up Alex the lion with her bag in Grand Central Terminal.
