March of the Penguins

THis movie recently won an Oscar.
Its actually a documentary but it will be at the cinema this month.

Its all about Emporer Penguins and their life and relationships.
I think it will be just amazing, will anyone else be seeing this?

yes i have seen the previews for this, it just looks out of this world (well it almost is!)
I cant believe they braved those freezing temps just to shoot this. I think they know they are going to absolutely rake in the money on this, so it will be worth it.

Yea it is impressive that he braved the freezing cold. Always fun to learn a little more about animals. Should be a good one.

AWWWWWWWW! I LOVE PENGUINS!!!

I can't wait until it comes out! I saw a little preview of it on discovery channel and it looked so interesting and cute!

Wow, I can't imagine how they made this film and what it took for the producers to create real life documents. How fantastic is that?

I am just excited!

I saw this at the theater back in November (plus or minus). There were some big action movies playing at the time. I enjoyed walking up to the window and asking for penguins instead. I wish there were more of these big nature show releases.

Probably just re-released due to the Oscar attention. It's a pleasant spectacle, and really makes you wonder why anything would live in those conditions. The penguins are like weird little people at times, only more likable. ;-)

Makes you think why noone has already done this,
Penguins are:

1) Cute and fluffy
2) Lovable
3) Funny

THey are the perfect hollywood actors

They're also doomed, expendable and cheap. There's a certain fatalism to nature shows. Inescapable. "March" tries to stay upbeat, but you just can't believe how miserable that life must be.

Another documentary I saw showed that for recreation, the penguins will push pebbles around with their beaks, sometimes for weeks at a time, sometimes in big groups. A sort of alien tic-tac-toe. And they don't get cable. Poor things.

Penguins can never be doomed, they will live on in the countless zoos and animated scenes, until the time is right for their world domination.

They've also been known to deliver beer while humming "Strangers in the Night".

During the final credits of "March", there are some cute behind-the-scenes interviews with some of the penguin stars.

I need this film, an interview with a penguin, inspired, lets hope this paves the way for intervies with... monkey's or something
