Heavy-Handed Message

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2011)

This movie was supposed to be cute and funny. This movie was supposed to be adorable. This movie slapped me in the face. While I love penguins and found them to be adorable, I didn't appreciate the "you're killing the world" message that was hammered into my brain at the end. Not only that, having one single penguin unable to sing within the entire colony of penguins kind of equates to having one human unable to speak/see/hear in a city of humans and then be ostracized for it. The premise is ridiculous. "You're my son, but you can't sing, so you're worthless," was pretty much the message that came across, and it's sad that it's a children's movie.
I wish I hadn't seen this movie.
