March of the Penguins, Review



I recall watching a special years ago about the Emperor penquins and their lifestyle. I also remember how the 75 year old host was dropped off on Antarctica to narrate. I felt shamed that I was too chicken even to leave the country or lazy to work until I was 75!

The narration by Morgan Freeman gives human characteristic to these awesome penquins and the babies are just too too cute. The imprinting of this birds is so amazing. I really hated the gull trying to eat them and the cracked egg and crying was almost too much. Luckily this movie didn't dwell on the real harshness of life or show blood and shreds.

I will rate this documetary 4/5 acorns. It's a story just too amazing to pass up on.
