Movie Review: March of the Penguins

[Los Feliz Slim]

I need to know whether any baby penguins die in this movie. Or, if any Mommy penguins die, leaving their baby penguins forlornly squeeking for their non-existent Mommy penguin. Because I can't handle that.

When I was 7 or something I told my mother I hated her for taking me to see Bambi, because of when Bambi's mother dies.

Also can't watch Old Yeller.

Why does animal sadness have such a huge effect on me while human sadness doesn't seem to as much? I guess that's a topic for another thread.

Please let me know about the penguin death situation.

yes there is death - but never graphic.

if bambi was not for you however, this probably isn't either.

[astroglide]

i thought it was good, but if it were narrated by somebody else or if you had seen a 15-minute discovery channel thing on the mating habits of penguins i think it would be very forgettable. i think it was very good and entertaining, but i don't see the justification for it being some kind of big screen documentary hit.

Do any of the penguins either drink beer or play poker?

[tolbiny]

Thats a shame.
You should read/watch "Where the Red Fern Grows", it soulds like you would really enjoy it.

I found it way too penguinny.

Stuff that might get to you...

Coupla frozen eggs.

Coupla frozen baby penguins (this made the wife cry).

Coupla devastated and distraught penguin parents (including one that tries to streal someone elses baby).

One seal attack, resulting in munched penguin.

One bird attack resulting in munched baby.

One shot of penguin sex that kids will never get, so this really doesn't belong in a list of potentially upsetting stuff for kids.

Jesus H. Christ, just reading this made me sad. Thanks for the warning.

I just saw this movie and have a question. When the bird was attacking the babies, why didn't any of the adults step in? They were only a few feet away.

How does this movie compare to "The Bear"?
