Nice movie for family. A bit underrated

Definitely a forgettable animated flick. It's fine, but there's nothing memorable about it.

If I could watch a feature length interview with the 3 kid penguins, I would in a heartbeat.

Very unique, stylized movie with a great message and a greater vibe. Easily Sony's best work Pre-Spiderverse.

The best animated film of all time. Way ahead of its time and still holds up now over 15 years later

An excellent tale that I am not ashamed to admit I first watched at age 20. Really entertaining 🫡

Funny documentary style comedy about penguins surfing, somehow it works. It has a great message at its core. Chicken Joe is hilarious.
