    • Trivia
      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.
    • Quotes

      Leopard Seal: Come here, sausage. I take you with ketchup!

      Ramón: Yeah, but first you gotta catch up!

      [laughing]

    • Crazy credits
      Mumble, Gloria, Memphis, Norma Jean, Noah, Ramón, Lovelace, Mrs. Astrakhan and a baby penguin can be seen tap dancing under the credits while Song of the Heart by Prince is playing.

    A visual masterpiece.
    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.
