Why I Love March Of The Penguins (In 109 Words!)
March of the Penguins takes place in Antarctica, one of the harshest environments on the earth. The climate there is the 'darkest, driest, windiest and coldest' you can find with lows reaching 80 degrees below zero and winds of up to 100 miles per hour. Nevertheless, each year the amazing emperor penguins in this love story follow the same migratory pattern in order to find a mate and raise their young. A true endurance test, the journey and the effort of protecting their young is tough and not all of them will make it. This film perfectly documents one of the most amazing creatures on our planet.
Go ahead, disagree. I dare you.
March Of The Penguins is a beautiful story.
March Of The Penguins IS amazing.
Steve_Kaye says:
These incredible birds are amazing.
Ellen_Hartle says:
My grandson, now 8, first watched this move 3 years ago. I'm not sure how many times either of us viewed our DVD, but he found it endlessly fascinating at a very young age and I agree with him.
It was my first education about how harsh the winter weather is in Antartica. I can't imagine how the scientists and film makers survive "down there."

- March of the Penguins Review ~~ by rogerebert.com

- Movie Mom, Nell Minnow Reviews March of the Penguins
- In the coldest place on earth, the only place where it is safe to care for newborns is 70 miles from the only place to find food. And so, the Antartic's hardiest and most determined inhabitants, the emperor penguins, must march, trudge, waddle, and slide on their bellies, back and forth hundreds of miles to raise the next generation so that they can march in their turn.
