Disneynature’s Penguins is a coming-of-age story about an Adélie penguin named Steve who joins millions of fellow males in the icy Antarctic spring on a quest to build a suitable nest, find a life partner, and start a family. None of it comes easily for him, especially considering he’s targeted by everything from killer whales to leopard seals, who unapologetically threaten his happily ever after!

This approach might not work for a purist who wants no manipulation with reality, but on an entertainment level, the title characters of "Penguins" once again do their jobs...

The adorable nature of penguins is all over DisneyNature's Penguins, but it would have been nice if the filmmakers had trusted the material they had instead of trying to force the issue with some out-of-place anthropomorphizing of their subjects.

The storytelling device used in most Disneynature films is tired and feels like pandering to younger audiences, but the footage is indispensable -- captured by a team that is clearly fearless and remarkably careful.

It's entertaining, but I think it's a little too cute in some places... If you have small children, this is a good movie to take them to.
