Clearly they are Jewish and their ancestors were part of The Madagascar Plan, where Nazi Germany was forced resettling Jewish people in Madagascar.
They have largely been isolated and weren't able to keep apprised of what happened after their family was resettled. Germany had been really pushing to establish a military base in Antarctica for decades, so the penguins had the understanding that Germany must be well established there by the time they got there.
So that is why Penguins from Madagascar would believe that people in Antarctica would be speaking German.
Lol, have my upvote for a great backstory!
Also, I think the word you want is "apprised", which means "to inform", while "appraised" means "to evaluate".
Lots of homonyms in English, another pair is "weary/wary". Weary means fatigued, wary means cautious.
Fixed. Sorry, English is my first language but my autocorrect is aggressive.
Also "appraised" and "apprised" are not homonyms, unless you pronounce them wrong.
This is why I call it autoassume. I call it that so often that it's learned to suggest it when I type in aut
Same with weary/wary
My Texan ass has entered the chat
You speak Texan, not American English. Ya'll get your own way of talkin' and power grid.
Best country in America.
Yay!
Fuck!
Freedom isn't free brother!
Weary and wary aren't pronounced the same....
*In Canada...
Weren't the penguins from a zoo in the US though? It's been a while since I saw the film.
Idk, I was too old and not on the right kind of drugs to watch it when it came out.
If that is true, my explanation still holds up with the change that their parents moved to America from Madagascar.
They are originally from Antarctica and only end up in the zoo in the USA, however this only occurs in the Pinguins of Madagascar, which came out after the original Madagascar, so their origin story could have been thought up differently by the writers of the Madagascar movie than how it happened in the Pinguins of Madagascar movie
