A really beautiful , stirring, dark, DARK tale

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2006)

It was my love for George Miller's Babe:Pig in the City that made me say , "SUre ill go see this dancing penguin movie," and yet as it progressed I became more and more disturbed. The whimsy and love powerfully established in the first act seemed to slowly unwrap itself, exposing it's true intention. Now in it's place, lay a message revealed in all its bleak 2001-esque nightmare reality. This film in all its amazing scope(totally Imax-worthy),truly realistic animation and groovy music leaves one a bit freaked out. Yes, the characterisations are vibrant and work; the songs fulfilling , but then the freakishness occurs and you'll prolly find yourself looking for someone to hug when the credits roll.An interesting marriage of Stanley Kubrick , Walt Disney, and truly eye-gasmic animation.
