More Like "Sappy Feet"

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2007)

I really, REALLY did not like this movie. Yes, the animation was good, yes, some of the penquins were funny, etc. I can't even place my finger on what exactly I didn't like about it...maybe because it was everything. Let me give it a try: too much singing, too much dancing, too obvious and predictable of a story, and most of the speaking voices were really annoying (the mother penquin's voice got on my nerves the minute she opened her beak), and the movie was way too loooooong. And if they were going for "cute," what they got was "sappy."
My 9-year-old daughter loved it; I was just counting the seconds until it was OVER. I had to pretend I really liked it, tho, so she wouldn't feel bad that I had to watch it with her. I wasn't tired so I couldn't even sleep thru it. That would have made it better.
I used to like penquins. Now I'm not so sure. The next time I run into one, I will probably kick it.
