Storyline
He must present his special pebble to her before the pebble festival is over, or lose his chance forever. He just manages to pluck up the nerve, when the evil Drake knocks him off the ice, and Hubie is swept away. Picked up and caged by a ship, he meets the streetwise Rocko, whose only wishes are to live in sunny climates and learn to fly. Together they escape, and Hubie convinces Rocko to help him find Antarctica. When they reach the home ice, Hubie must defeat his worst enemy, and Rocko must face up to the reality of his dream of flying. Written by Cynan Rees <cynanrees@hotmail.com>

I saw this movie in second grade around a time where we were really getting big on studying about penguins, and when I saw it, I took a liking to it. I think that it is funny, the music is great, the voices and animation are very great, and overall, the whole movie is fabulous!
In this movie, the story revolves a dimwitted but sweet natured penguin who is in love with a very beautiful female penguin and he decides to find the perfect pebble for her, but there is a problem blocking his way, another penguin, a ruthless barbarian is also after the girl whom he covets, but in the end, he triumphs over his bitter enemy and he ends up getting the girl!
That's how it usually turns out in the end, the bad guy is killed and the good guy gets the girl! It usually seems that Americans are always expecting a happy ending to a movie or story, because they want to be cheered up after something gloomy and sad happens. But that is not how I feel, wherever and ending is very happy or is very gloomy, I just accept it as an ending.
Drake was a great villain, animated villain that is, because I would not compare him to Auric Goldfinger.
I really loved the music, especially the songs that Marina would sing, those were very enjoyable to listen to, because the songs that she sang were very beautiful, I also really thought that Marina was very beautiful!
You should see this if you love animation!
10/10
