Animation: Good, Story: Bad

Rating: 5/10 (4 February 2008)

Regarding the animation, it was very good, interesting to see how they tried to make photo-realistic penguins and adapt them to make them do these dance moves and sing and everything. What also impressed me was how they also made the humans in the story realistic, unlike most animated films that make the characters look cartoon, they went for a more down to earth feeling. And also always, the special effects were good, good use of lighting and the way they made them dance.
Regarding the story, the good animation and the fancy dances moves by penguins weren't enough to keep the story up, there were moments where the storyline had to be strong but it always turned up a little weak, they really did try to make it seem like a musical but seem like the traditional animated movie with a zero that becomes a hero and all. But sadly I think they didn't make it strong enough.
Conclusion: I was amazed that this film won the Oscar for Best Animated Movie when it was up against Cars, which was much better, if you think penguins are cute and you wanna see them dance, I guess you can watch this film, but if you're expecting a fun time with the family, I suggest you bring pillows because it tends to get boring.
