March of the Penguins
 
Did anyone see this yet? What did you think? I'm going to see it with my mom after work tonight.

I want to take my niece to see it, since her Grade 2 class studied penguins for about 6 months, due to the teacher being obsessed with penguins.

Ok so I just came back from seeing it and I seriously have never ooh'd and aah'd so much in my life. I highly recommend it. It was so amazing and adorable.

Is it something to take a five year old to? Had to cancel on my neice this weekend, and thought that maybe I would take her to this.

Yes. There are a few sad moments in it, but overall I think it would be good for her. There were a few little kids there when we went.

I found this documentary absolutely fascinating. And cute to boot!

What is the point to this movie? Because (i might be the only one who thinks this) but a movie all about penguins---ones that aren't cartoony and talking--- does NOT seem all that interesting.

I haven't seen it yet, but I think (as per the synopsis) it's a documentary about penguins and how they have to journey hella far, in order to their nesting grounds to mate, reproduce, etc, carry on the species. I am sure that you catch my drift.

Does a hungry seal make an appearance? ;) :p

I absolutely love the previews! It looks like such a cute movie.

I saw it last night. All I can say is wow. I think that Morgan Freeman did a great job as narrator. The cinematography(sp?) was fabulous. The colors were so sharp. I liked how they were able to film so close to the animals without appearing to disturb them.

I don't know if I'd take any child under 7 to this. I got sad at the some of death scenes and I'm a grown up. But the funny and touching scenes make up for it.

I wasn't into penguins before I went to see it. I have a new appreciation for them. The time seemed to go right by when I watched it.

I loooooved this but I think we all know I have a soft spot for penguins. :D

I've always loved penquins (supposedly, they make good house pets, so long as they can splash their feet a bit!), and really looked forward to seeing it. We missed the first 5 minutes, but I absolutely loved it!

I was freezing by the time I left, though!

Did you ever read the book Mr. Popper's Penguins when you were little? After my third grade teacher read it to us, I wanted to get a pet penguin so badly.

That's exactly why I won't go see this movie. Why does every single documentary on animals have to have all those death scenes? I particularly won't see elephant documentaries because they always show abuse and poaching.

Because penguins get eaten! It happens! They freeze and starve too!

Are you a vegetarian?
