7 and a 1/2 out of ten, beautiful, but weirdly sad.

Rating: 7/10 (15 April 2007)

When I first saw the advert of this, I thought it was going to be a happy film, with a few baddies and the plot it had. Unfortunately, I didn't know it was going to be this sad. I felt extremely sorry for Mumble, who was unloved and teased by thousands of penguins just because he couldn't sing! The Adelie penguins are MUCH more sensible about the whole mating thing (not just in this film). They just give their girlfriend a pebble and - voila! They can now mate! Mumble seems a little aspie (asperger's syndrome is a form of autism and autism is a difference in people), which made things interesting, but it also made things sadder and meaner because Mumble was teased.
The animated film is about a little penguin chick called Mumble, who loves to dance. His parents hope he'll grow out of it. Unfortunately, he can't, but what makes things worse for him and for his parents, is that he can't sing - and that means he isn't a proper emperor penguin...
I like this film for its animation, ROBIN WILLAMS (!! :) ), most of its characters and some of its excitement. Enjoy!
P.S If you thought this was going to be a happy film, then I suggest you think a while before watching this. This isn't all the title says.
