Hollywood preaches instead of entertaining, again

Rating: 3/10 (20 November 2006)

A cute penguin, a gift for dancing, how can you go wrong? Just ask Hollywood. If I can be first in line to help limit the harvesting of fish that will help species in the polar regions, help with pollution, I'd be glad to do that. But to take my child to a movie that has to contain such horrors just to get a message out that will never be heard by politicians or industry seems like a waste. When I went in, I figured the moral message would be acceptance of differences, which is an important and good message, when all was said and done, it was hard to tell which soapbox the director was trying to leave in your mind, including something about whether we're driving animals insane by placing them in aquariums. I want my child to learn important life lessons, I'm just not ready for her to know how terrible and greedy industry can be, especially if we're not given any information on how to help fix the problem. Sad feet would be a much more fitting title.
