Synopsis:
In the Antarctic, every March since the beginning of time, the quest begins to find the perfect mate and start a family. 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.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Critics have found The March of the Penguins to be as wondrous as word-of-mouth has it. Jami Bernard in the New York Daily News concludes: It will make you want to bill and coo with your mate, cuddle your young and maybe even go for a swim. Nancy Churnin in the Dallas Morning News calls director Luc Jacquet's description of the emperor penguins of Antarctica stirring profiles in courage. Michael Booth in the Denver Post remarks that the emperors will leave audiences energized, mesmerized and stupefied by the possibilities of life. The Baltimore Sun's Michael Sragow describes the movie as eloquent and stirring. Eleanor Ringel Gillespie in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls it an often-miraculous movie. Although the film is attracting families, the Los Angeles Times warns that it may be too intense for small children. But Wesley Morris comments in the Boston Globe: Kids might blanch at some of the more upsetting images, but ultimately the movie will delight and uplift more families than it will scare.

A mind blowing account of the incredible hardships this amazing animal faces to re-produce. Makes you realize the importance of a good hotel chain. Somebody PLEASE get these birds a room!
