UN propaganda - but a bright side!

Rating: 1/10 (22 November 2006)

There is so much filler in this movie it is totally intolerable. The story could be told in five minutes. Also, the movie is sort of cute (I actually chuckled two different times, too) in a childish sort of way. However, it all completely falls apart near the end when, well, it becomes abundantly clear that the movie is primarily a propaganda piece, using the technique of personification of animals to evoke guilt and the compulsion to turn responsibility and control of environmental issues over to "them". Watch for the UN logo to flash quickly before your eyes in the last part of the movie.
There is a great message in the movie, though: we don't have to change ANYTHING about our marine harvesting habits until we see the penguins dance!
