I watched this film when it first came out in cinemas with out any prior knowledge to what it was going to be about. I was fasinated to learn about the lives of penguins. It was also great hearing the familiar famous voice of Morgan Freeman narrate this film. The running time of 80 minutes was definitly enough time to get all the information across without dragging on. A child would definitly be able to watch this film as they use child friendly language such as "fade away" instead of saying the animal died. The film does contain some scenes that may be disturbing to children, though. As in real life, the endings are not always happy. Some penguin chicks die despite the parents’ best efforts to protect them. Also, moments of peril are briefly shown which may scare children. When I saw the movie, I could hear a few children in the theater begging predators to leave the penguins alone. This film is definitly great for those who enjoy learning about animals expecially ones that survive in the antractic.
