I'm not sure cute penguins would have made this a better movie but it might have made the characters more likable. But really, what's the point? I think I like my animated movies to look animated. There's a great realism to these characters and their surroundings, and if they weren't talking in weird accents and performing choreographed dance routines, you'd almost mistake them for the real thing. The Antarctic setting and all of the animals look terrific. I've seen a giant turtle having an orgasm at that same zoo, and you're tell me that my nipples are inappropriate for children's eyes? What's wrong with this world? Back to the penguins-these animals are animated very well (more on that below), but all penguins kind of look the same (I know.borderline penguin racism there!) and there's not enough variety in their movements to make them interesting for the duration of this too-long movie. "Emperor, my ass! Check out these nipples! Do you birds even HAVE nipples? Booyah!" And to answer your question: Yes, I have been forcefully removed from zoos. I'm the guy at the penguin exhibit who's torn his shirt off like Hulk Hogan and flaunts his stuff, flexing and beating my chest and trash-talking the birds. If I'm at a zoo, I enjoy seeing the sad little penguins in their glass box as much as the next guy, mostly because it makes me feel superior as a human being and gives me a chance to wallow in my awesomeness, so to speak. Popper's Penguins movie, its existence still makes me tremble and weep. And although it's extremely unlikely that somebody will force me to watch the upcoming Jim Carrey Mr. I've seen those annoying little guys in Madagascar and in the television spin-off that my girls used to annoy me with all the time. I've seen them marching while Morgan Freeman tells me all about it. Secondly, I'm just going to say it: I'm sick of penguins. It wouldn't surprise me if the Dreamworks people decided to throw "Darling Nikki" in their next feature though. Plus, I don't normally think about Prince as a good soundtrack choice for a kiddie flick. I did watch it with Sophie, however, and she seemed to fall asleep just fine during it. And I'd think the plot would be too confusing for children, and there are some pretty intense scenes that might make it inappropriate for younger viewers. Mumble runs off with some Hispanic penguins to find some aliens who might be responsible for the famine.įirst off, who's the audience for a PG-rated movie like this? I can't imagine this appealing to most adults despite the modernization of some pop tunes from their childhood (like the Artist Who's Now Known As Prince Again) to make them sound like annoying modern pop tunes. He's an outcast, and some of the other penguins, each inexplicably with different accents, blame him for the lack of fish. While all the other penguins use their singing voices and over-produced pop songs to find the perfect mate, something that Morgan Freeman told me is actual legitimate scientific information, Mumble can only tap dance. And then, boom! Readers! Anyway, back to Mumble. And I'm going to do my very best to make this one of my best-written reviews ever so that once the advocates for people like Lady Gaga and Lebron James get here, they'll read this and be hooked. I'm doing my best to get some blog traffic, so maybe throwing the R-word around will get some people involved in those advocacy groups who are always ticked off with Lady Gaga or Lebron James to accidentally find their way to my humble little blog. I don't like the word much either, and I almost never use it. And before you start, I'm well aware that "retarded" is considered politically incorrect, and I apologize for its use here. Plot: Mumble is a retarded penguin because his father, Elvis the Penguin, dropped him when he was in the egg.
