Into the world of the Emperor Penguins, who find their soul mates through song, a penguin is born who cannot sing. But he can tap dance something fierce!
This is an awful attempt at a musical. Too many songs, many not very good, mixed together. If it were not for the fact people love penguins, this never would have succeeded. And somehow it won Best Picture? Something about that seems very wrong. Did Disney have no princesses? Did Pixar take the year off?
The underlying story that has been told a thousand times -- be who you are even when you are different from everyone else -- and it is a good lesson. But it is far from clever, and the environmental angle also falls flat.
