What a great movie! Cute characters, humour and an awesome soundtrack!!
It has something for everyone, there is a political story line, a love story line and of course friendship highs and lows.
It didnt hold the attention span of my two year old but my thirteen year old has seen it 4 times.
It's hard to pass up a movie with Robin Williams as a character and he doesnt let us down in this one. Highly recommended!!

this is the cutest/most peculiar CGI movie I have seen in a long time.
This movie clearly has elements of Shrek, Shark Tale, and Madagascar reflected through it, yet it retains it's own individuality.
The characters are absolutely adorable, judging by the "awww I just wanna bring him home" I got from my "cinematic experience enjoying accomplice" when I stood to leave the cinema.
The character input was amazing, down to the finest detail. The movie has an easy-to-follow plot, with a clear attempt at making a political statement toward Mankind's activities in antarctica.
Overall a very age appropriate movie, enjoyable by most ages, I would definitely see it again, once it comes out on DVD.
A definite must see for everyone who is looking to enjoy a movie, that doesn't need to be explained to them step-by-step.

This is a great movie for the young ones, but I have to admit that I have seen better CGI 'toons... The highlights of this one would have to be Robin Williams' characters. He does GREAT penguin... Though it had a veritable bevvy of famous voices, naturally there wasn't much acting involved.
The storyline was... well, weak. There was an attempt at a moral in the story, some kicking music, a thinly-veiled attempt to get people to wake up to the huge amount of damage we are doing to our dear planet home (which is better illustrated in other movies such as The Day After Tomorrow for example), but otherwise there really wasn't a lot in it for me as an adult.
Overall, it wasn't too bad, but not really my thing. Kids will love it though... mine did.
