      Initially, Prince refused to allow the use of his song, "Kiss", for the film. However, after seeing footage of the film, he not only changed his mind and allowed the song to be used, but also wrote an additional original song for the film to use in the closing credits.
    • Goofs
      (at around 11 mins) When Memphis and Norma Jean find each other in the crowd (when the females are returning), one penguin in the center of the screen walks through another penguin.

    Hilarious and Realistically Haunting at the Same Time
    This is the kind of movie that conceals deeper depths and vividly exhilarating emotion overall.

    First interpretation: "Ok, it's a movie about a penguin that dances and has trouble finding a mate. How profound can this movie be?" Then the movie revealed themes I never thought they would accomplish such as Religious fanaticism and Human's destruction of the environment.

    It reminded me of 6th Sense because it was so twisted yet taught a very important moral lesson.

    Robin Williams is the highlight of the movie, his 2 characters are both well portrayed and well voiced.

    Highly recommended. It made me want to go out and save the penguins.
