Awful

Rating: 1/10 (24 November 2006)

The first half was so great! My daughter loved the previews and clapped/danced/smiled throughout the entire first half. It was a very cute flick about a little penguin that didn't quite fit in, but was special in his own way nonetheless...then all of a sudden there was this drastic change from a happy kids movie to a movie where the penguin is trapped in a zoo and goes insane (literally, not figuratively). From that point on there were exactly three lessons that the movie taught: 1) Religion = ignorance + stupidity + intolerance, 2) Everything humans do = evil, and 3) Seaworld and/or zoos = evil. If only they woulda kept the politics out it would have been a great movie. I'm all for environmentalist movies, like An Inconvenient Truth...just don't disguise them as movies for little kids.
