The worst movie I ever had the misfortune of sitting through.

Rating: 2/10 (4 September 2009)

I saw previews for this movie a long time ago and they made it look adorable! I thought, "Hmm, an animated movie about penguins dancing and singing. Let's go!" The previews were horrifyingly misleading.
The plot was horrible. It was like a whole bunch of stories written on a piece of paper, stuck in a blender, and taped back together again. The story had no easy flow, and half the time, it was impossible to tell what was going on. Plus, the movie dragged on and on and on!! After an hour, I thought the movie would end soon, but then it kept going! Ugh!! The characters had no chemistry. The characters weren't lovable at all. The Hispanic Penguins were a bit funny, but they didn't help make the movie more enjoyable. The main character just didn't seem very smart. Also, his name was Mumbles. Could they have thought of a stupider name?? Also I thought it was absolutely evil how the other penguins treated him just because he couldn't sing.
I don't like how they made humans look evil. We are referred to as "aliens". The penguins claim we were stealing their food supply. Nothing in the movie made it look like the penguins were starving or low on food! And at the end, the penguin do a dance. It was their way of saying "Please stop stealing our food!" The only thing is, how would we know that was what they were saying?? The humans suddenly realize that they're destroying the penguins habitat because they did a silly tap dance????? What the heck?! I wish I could give this movie negative seven million stars, but I gave it two stars because the animation was pretty good.
Kids would not understand the story. The characters are not worth connecting with. The plot is terribly written. The movie is packed with stupid environmental messages that get delivered in the most ridiculous ways. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. IT'S NOT WORTH WASTING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME AND MONEY.
