everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Our entire family, adults and teens, totally enjoyed this particular episode. Very creative and rejuvenating . Multiple laughs throughout - guilt free. The writing was crisp and 'out of the box' with laughs that target different age levels without pandering to any of them. In addition, the characterization of all four penguins and King Julien keeps enhancing their human quirkiness which just keeps getting more real each time. Then you capped it off with a wonderful life lesson about being your own individual. What great writing and characterization. It gave me the impression that the writers and actors probably had more fun putting it all together than we had enjoying the end results. What a fabulously innovative team of authors and actors. Well done!
