Superbly animated, visually breathtaking, but still a pile of manure

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2007)

A charming and innocent tale about dancing penguins suddenly loses its way among the dark alleys of environmental politics, where a bandwagon of newly-environmentally-conscious scriptwriters set upon it and proceed to beat the living crap out of it with huge clubs labelled "SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT". By the end, there is nothing but a dismembered mess.
I'm a greenie, but there are good and bad ways to send a message. This movie amply demonstrates a bad way.
For animation and sound it gets 10/10. For story it gets 0/10. Since story is so critical, I give it 1/10. You have been warned.
