Do not be duped by the commercials

Rating: 1/10 (19 November 2006)

This movie is NOT about dancing penguins. This movie is a politically charged brain-washing attempt to persuade young viewers that evil humans are destroying the natural order of the world. There were actually young children in the audience pleading with their parents to take them home before the movie ended. One parent was overheard stating that this movie "was not at all like the previews." There is almost nothing "happy" about this movie. Not one person left the theatre laughing or with a lifted spirit. While the graphics are indeed amazing, the storyline is extremely depressing. The movie continually tries to make light of the thematic elements, but it never seems to work. Very little laughter was heard after the 60 minute mark; truthfully, with not that much before. The film mocked religion and tradition, had a surprising amount of sexual innuendo, and portrayed zoo animals as Zombie-minded creatures tortured by their fake environment. If at some point in the future you want to take your children to the zoo for a day of enjoyment, do not take your children to see this movie. I am warning you, do not see this movie. If you do, your children might start calling you (and all humans) "ugly aliens" as the movie claims we are.
