Chantel DuBois being iconic for around 5 and a half minutes straight

Hey Hoemies ❤️ Here is a video covering Captain Chantel DuBois, the woman who singlehandedly carried the entire third movie of the Madagascar trilogy.
I had other videos to do but she kind of spakred a bit of motivation in me, so I spent the day articulating this video for y'all.... and I really hope you enjoy.
Y'ALL BETTER BE STAYING HYDRATED BY THE WAY!
