Fascinating! This was an exceptional film on the cycle of the Emperor Penguin that will certainly become a classic in its genre. Although it really doesn’t have what you would refer to as a plot, this well written, thoughtful film still managed to have a beginning and an end, almost as if you were watching a family history. You certainly felt connected to the lives of these amazing creatures. The extraordinary cinematography captured the conditions of the Antarctica and you practically shivered along with the huddled penguins. The filming was so well done that I regret not having seen this on the big screen! Superbly narrated by Morgan Freeman, his mellow voice told the story without trying to become the star and/or focus of the film. Something narrators don’t always achieve. This is certainly a film not to be missed! *****
