Like March of the Penguins...without all the death and Morgan Freeman.

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2006)

This is quite possibly one of the best computer animated movies around. It's not just for families. It's not just for kids. This movie is hilarious for anyone. The reason there are so many songs crammed in is because that's the point of the story!! Please, ignore the negative comments by cynics and pessimists and give penguins a chance. The only reason I give it a nine is due to a somewhat lackluster performance from Elijah Wood. It's still good, just maybe not right for this film as a whole.
I'll admit the film is gimmicky. That's what's intended. It's a light-hearted romp through a wonderful land of singing penguins, but at the same time, don't just judge it on face value. It has so much real-life morality to it and can teach such a great lesson.
This movie is not meant to be critiqued as a cinema classic. It's a children's movie withlife- lessons thrown in. Take your kids to see it. you won't be disappointed.
