Review by Denver Patron |
| This is very educational and charming, too. Kids and adults will love this movie.
--------------
This movie will make you love penguins
even more. It is great for all ages.
--------------
I found this movie to be very educational but do not recommend this for young children because of the death of the baby penguin and the intensity of the grief of its mother. |

| Summary: |
In the Antarctic, every March since the beginning of time, the quest begins to find the perfect mate and start a family. This courtship will begin with a long journey - a journey that will take them hundreds of miles across the continent by foot, one by one in a single file. They will endure freezing temperatures, in brittle, icy winds and through deep, treacherous waters. They will risk starvation and attack by dangerous predators, under the harshest conditions on earth, all to find true love. |
