This courtship will begin with a long journey - a journey that will take them hundreds of miles across the continent by foot in freezing cold temperatures in brittle icy winds and through deep treacherous waters. They will risk starvation and attack by dangerous predators under the harshest conditions on earth all to find true love.Running Time: 80 min.System Requirements:Running Time: 80 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: G UPC: 012569751163 Manufacturer No: 75116 Amazon.com: March of the Penguins instantly qualifies as a wildlife classic, taking its place among other extraordinary films like Microcosmos and Winged Migration. French filmmaker Luc Jacquet and his devoted crew endured a full year of extreme conditions in Antarctica to capture the life cycle of Emperor penguins on film, and their diligence is evident in every striking frame of this 80-minute documentary. Narrated in soothing tones by Morgan Freeman, the film focuses on a colony of hundreds of Emperors as they return, in a single-file march of 70 miles or more, to their frozen breeding ground, far inland from the oceans where they thrive. At times dramatic, suspenseful, mischievous and just plain funny, the film conveys the intensity of the penguins' breeding cycle, and their treacherous task of protecting eggs and hatchlings in temperatures as low as 128 degrees below zero. There is some brief mating-ritual violence and sad moments of loss, but March of the Penguins remains family-friendly throughout, and kids especially will enjoy the Antarctic blue-ice vistas and the playful, waddling appeal of the penguins, who can be slapstick clumsy or magnificently graceful, depending on the circumstances. A marvel of wildlife cinematography, this unique film offers a front-row seat to these amazing creatures, balancing just enough scientific information with the entertaining visuals. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Horrible, It is not entertaining for any ages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!March of the Penguins (Widescreen Edition) The movie is about a group of penguins who travel throughot the artic and survive most but not all problems that nature brings them.THe movie has many,mANY PENGUINS. The movie has mainly one character. They are the penguins. THere are alsoone of the problems which is a polarbear which tries to eat them. Since animals cannot talk there is a narrator telling what they are doing. The theme is to entertain which they are ...

At turns tender, funny, sad, and inspiring, it made me appreciate even more how we humans are sharing this great ark called Earth with amazing and wonderful creatures. Narrated with graceful style by Morgan Freeman. A must-have film for nature lovers. Rating:  - Wildly overrated but nicely filmed.I saw this finally with great anticipation. It was one of the highest grossing and best-reviewed documentaries in years. Wow, was I disappointed. NOTHING. HAPPENS. There is one, I repeat one, moment of suspense in the entire show (when a mother who has lost her chic tries to steal another). In a 15 second flash, it's gone, and we are back to Morgan Freeman's soothing-yet-sleep-inducing narration. Otherwise, there is no great revelation in this piece. There ...

If you look at the "making of the movie," it shows their ICE-BREAKER SHIP coming to pick up the film makers. It almost hits a penguin standing nearby. How many ice-breaker ships go there and tear up the ice where the penguins have to walk? Every country has SCIENTISTS there. Where does all the WASTE go from all the scientists and others living there? What happens to the ATMOSPHERE from the VEHICLES they ... Read More Rating:  - A very good job of personifying the penguins, helped byMorgan Freeman's narration. It is a year in the life of Emperor Penguins. Their life, like all animals is dictated by their environment. Antartica does have distinct seasons & during their summer, it can be quite habitable. But not winter with it's eternal darkness. The penguins endure. There must be quite a few of them since we are told that only 10% of the chicks survive. They fall victim to cold, starvation, predators & loss of either one of thier parents. A more nuturing father in the animal kingdom ... Read More |
