I want to be a penguin when I grow up

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2007)

Phooey to the naysayers- this is a truly wonderful film - I laughed, I cried - my heart danced on happy feet!
I agree that this is not suitable for the very young - although the battles between the predators and the prey are for the most handled with humour (in part as only Robin Williams can), they are nonetheless a little confronting.
I have a new respect for the talents of Brittany Murphy and Nicole Kidman (as I have always thought her cold, playing an emperor penguin seemed somehow appropriate). They are both totally believable in their roles - Ms Kidman has a sweet little voice and Ms Murphy belts with the best of them.
See it - you'll be transfixed.
