march of the penguins

penguins are people too! watch them eat, watch them swim, watch them shuffle around. watch them love and care for one other. if you’ve never seen the struggle that goes into making gushingly cute baby penguins, this movie will delight and enlighten. then again, with the languishing shots of snowstorms, southern lights and penguins huddling, this movie could bore you right to death. alright, i get it, penguins have to walk seventy miles – uphill both ways -- enough already.

i also don’t want my animals anthropomorphized, i want to know what compels an animal to shuffle seventy miles, not be shown every agonizing step.
