Fun for the whole family! (If everyone is under 10)

Rating: 1/10 (28 March 2007)

This movie is fun for the whole family! That is, if everyone in your family is under 10 years old. I gave this film a 3/10 because it did make me laugh a few times. The overly-stereotyped little "mexican" penguins were the only good part of this movie. I especially liked the scene were they mock the leopard seal.
Mumble is cute when he's baby Mumble. But, when Mumble grows up, he is no longer cute. He's awkward looking. I did not like the way he was animated throughout the film after his fluffy baby stage.
I did like some of the animation, though. Like the leopard seal, for instance. I think they did a good job on the way the ice looked, the water, the birds. The lighting was beautiful. The penguins themselves were kind of strange, however. But why did they make the female penguins have "breasts" and hour-glass figures? I found that kind of odd.
I don't see any reason for anyone over 10 to really enjoy this film. But at the same time this movie is so long, I don't seen anyone under 10 sitting through the entire thing. Towards the end of the film, it gets really WEIRD. Who knew emperor penguins were strict Catholics that banned dancing and told other penguins they had to be "devout" and they had to "repent" for their sins? It started getting really creepy...
Also, all the scenes with the humans were REALLY odd. Especially the end sequence. What the hell? I would not recommend this film to anyone my age. However, I can see why kids would enjoy the visual stimulation, even if they don't catch on to the stereotypes and creepiness factor.
