    • Trivia
      Middle Island where the penguins live in the movie and in real life is no longer accessible to the general public due to conservation purposes
    • Goofs
      The building from which Oddball is rescued is an animal hospital (actually, the University of Melbourne Veterinary Hospital), not a dog pound. Australian dog pounds are much smaller and less 'palatial'.

    As a family film should be
    This movie is heart warming, funny, thoughtful, and educational. This is how the movies were when I was growing up. They are informative about endangered species or situations, but entertaining at the same time. Based on a true story, I think they did a wonderful job. The storyline was great, most of the acting was perfect, and had a thoughtful message about several different things running through the movie. Very much advise anyone to watch this. You won't be disappointed.
