I just got back from seeing this film and I'm sorry to say that it was not what I expected and is certainly not one of my favourites. I won't rush out to buy it. It was like they took March of the Penguins and made a musical out of it.

I loved the characters and I loved the animation and the photography. It was truly amazing, but like Vela, I did not like the ending. It was too abrupt. OK, so the "aliens" came but you didn't see how the "aliens" helped them out. My friend was thinking it was done that way on purpose so that Sequel 2 can continue the story.

Oh yes, in spite of what I said, I cried through alot of it...but that's just me. I cry at the drop of a hat and the potential for a sweet, fluffy, fat penquin getting eaten by a whale sends me off the deep end.

I rate this 5 fish out of 10.
