Boring, bizarre & definitely not a child's movie.

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2011)

I just saw the movie with my fiancée and felt compelled to write a review about it. Naturally, I first had to read other reviews prior to posting mine, because I was in doubt of my own evaluation of the movie. Seeing the extensive positive feedback I had received prior to seeing this movie, I just assumed it would be good. Unfortunately, it was awful and merited a grading of "zero", although a grade lower than 1 is not possible.
As stated by a few others, it is boring and the feeling of stopping the movie occurred frequently.
To re-state what has already been said by others, it is also shockingly inappropriate for children. At approx. 27:30 in the movie, the penguins jump out of the water, which results in the main character, Mumble, to jump onto Gloria and "slip" multiple times which result in a 69, missionary & doggy position. Very unsubtle. Although the culturally stereotyped hispanics were the only comic relief in the movie, the also are constantly thinking of "scoring". This movie is meant for children???? Most bizarre!
And naturally, as stated again by others. The plot veers from one scene to another to try and speedily conclude the end and bring the political message of "lets stop over-fishing waters in order to save this cute, cuddly and dancing penguin population". Bravo. All other species can go to hell. If you want a similar "native" tale of saving indigenous species, watch Avatar. Much better.
All in all, it is difficult not to give this movie a zero.
