Trivia:
In order to tell the difference between the male and female emperor penguins, look at their beaks. If it has an orange spot, it's a male. If the spot is pink, it's a female. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Mumble and the Amigoes are outrunning the avalanche, Mumble hangs in mid-air for a few seconds, and Ramone grabs onto Mumble from behind before they fall. Looking closely, you can clearly see that Ramone's flipper passes through Mumble's feathers right before they nose-dive down the slope. more

A visual masterpiece., 13 November 2006
7/10
Author: yegdad from Edmonton, Canada

This movie set the bar at a new level for animation. This is a great companion piece to "March of the Penguins". (In fact, you should see "March of the Penguins" before seeing this one.) While the stock animated movie script still seems be 'cute-yet-quirky animals on quest', this one pulls it off better than most.

Arguably, the film makers tried to cram too many songs into the soundtrack. And the story didn't need to be as long as it was but the overall environmental message was good.

In the end, you'll look how the choices of our 'modern' lifestyles affect the rest of the world.

This movie is definitely worth the watch -- and a discussion with your kids afterward.
