	March of the Penguins Warner Independent Pictures -- Official Site
		As it follows the winter migration of the emperor penguin, "March of the Penguins" tells a tale of legendary proportions, portraying the strange, spectacular destiny of powerful and emotionally-involving characters, rich in courage and humour, mystery and manifest drama.
		The penguin is also able to regulate its body heat by having two different internal temperature levels: its core temperature at the center of its body is warm, while the extremities of its body are nearly as cold as the outside air.
		By singing, a penguin gives his or her personal recognition "code," as well as his or her sexual desire to reproduce.

	March of the Penguins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		March of the Penguins (French: La Marche de l'empereur; literally: "The Emperor's Journey") is an Academy Award-winning documentary film by Luc Jacquet, co-produced by the National Geographic Society and Warner Independent Pictures.
		In the fall, all the penguins of breeding age (five years old and over) leave the ocean, their normal habitat, to walk inland to their ancestral breeding grounds.
		Other commentators such as Matt Walker have pointed out that many penguin 'adoptions' of chicks are in fact kidnappings, that weak chicks are frequently the victims of infanticide, that albino penguins are ostracised and attacked and that prostitution is practiced by at least one species of penguins [2] (New Scientist, October 1, page 17).

		Penguins are cute, they are fun, and entertaining to watch, but when it comes to brains, they are all dressed up in their tuxes with no place to go, intellectually speaking.
		The "love story" designation is prompted by the fact that the penguins are monogamous, although as you watch their romance, it's hard-to-impossible to recognize individuals.
		The viewer cannot vouch for the claim that Penguin X is sticking with Penguin Y as they both look exactly like Penguin Z. The surviving chicks, apparently, turn teenagers almost instantly, and ignore or abandon their parents once they get their own fish.

		March of the Penguins, a National Geographic documentary which is tipped to become the feel-good movie of the winter.
		March of the Penguins is, as Freeman tells us, a true story of a 'mysterious ritual that dates back thousands of years', of 'a nearly impossible journey to find a mate'.
		March of the Penguins as an ode to monogamous relationships and the dedication of parents, have clearly overlooked the fact that though penguins don't cheat on each other, their relationships only last one winter; after their chicks are big enough to swim on their own, the parents split up and abandon them.

	"March of the Penguins" - Salon
		Luc Jacquet's luminous, moving documentary "March of the Penguins" is enough to make you hope there's no such thing as reincarnation: Human beings have it hard enough, but the life of the emperor penguin, one of strife, deprivation and against-all-odds adaptability in one of the most unforgiving corners of the earth, is far rougher.
		The emperor penguin itself is a natural movie star: Jacquet captures a group of them in long shot during their arduous walk -- moving in long lines and clusters, they look like shimmery fl jelly-beans against the snow.
		Each penguin seeks out his or her mate for the season (these couples will stay together, but only for the year), looking for those unnameable qualities, that je ne sais quoi, that even humans seek in a mate.

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - 'March of the Penguins'
		Each season beginning in March, they embark on a nine-month ritual, leaving their watery homes in the icy sea — these are birds that cannot fly but are exceptional swimmers — and waddle across the white glacial masses to their remote breeding grounds, the only habitable area available to them during the harsh winter months.
		The long march to the breeding grounds is made single-file with the penguins scooting along the ice like a group of portly snowboarders.
		But rather than projecting human traits onto the penguins, what happens is that the audience begins to identify with these odd birds and their incredible journey, and through this empathy we feel more human.

	Blu-ray Review: March of the Penguins \| High-Def Digest
		The dilemma that faced 'March of the Penguins' was whether it could surmount the label of "nature documentary" to emerge as a living, breathing motion picture -- one that tells a genuine, legitimate story.
		'March of the Penguins' is the rare nature film that allows us to appreciate and honor the animals we share our world with, but free of political theatrics and heavy-handed moralizing.
		'March of the Penguins' was released on standard-def DVD in late 2005 with only a small number of extras, and this Blu-ray release echoes that rather limited package.

	March of the Penguins - a Movie View review by Ryan Cracknell
		March of the Penguins is such a basic concept.
		March of the Penguins plots out the other dangers that the penguins must face, such as starvation, various predators and even one another.
		But now that I have a daughter of my own, the film caused me to look inward and celebrate birth and the joys of parenting (not to mention the joy of not having to change a diaper for a couple of hours while I was in the theatre).

	DVD review of March of the Penguins (Widescreen) - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		The penguins alternately walk on their stubby legs (the shortness of will serve them well in keeping their eggs warm and safe beneath them) and glide on their bellies.
		Freeman notes that some of the older penguins will simply "fall asleep and disappear." Nor are the hazards of freezing temperatures the only things the animals must worry about, as starvation and predators (seals and other birds) are also of concern.
		The film is filled with one extraordinary sight after another: The penguins in line; the penguins huddled together for warmth; the penguins tending their eggs beneath their perfectly adapted lower torsos; the landscape at eighty below, with winds gusting up to a hundred miles per hour.

		March of the Penguins was the atom-bomb of penguin cuteness that changed the world as we know it today.
		Though March of the Penguins began this new age, it was only later events that heralded the true impact of the movie.
		In the most charming of all futures, massive columns of marching penguins will tear through forests and tundras, digesting everything in their path (to lovingly feed to their children later), leaving a swath of cuteness in their wake.

	"March of the Penguins" (2005) / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		I was truly fascinated by the lives of these penguins, maybe because I felt we as humans could emulate much of it and be better followers of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
		To think that natural selection or even the penguins themselves could come up with the idea to migrate miles and miles multiple times each year without their partner or their offspring is a bit insulting to my intellect.
		Watching the penguins begin their journey by slipping out of the sea and onto the ice was amazing and somewhat magical.

		This is during the winter months when the penguins will have to endure temperatures as low as minus one hundred degrees, yet the narration tells us that the giant group of penguins will sometimes reach sixty degrees at it's centre.
		These penguins are on the harshest landscape on earth, yet they successfully manage to mate, go without food for months at a time and tend to an egg through horrendous blizzards.

		Although the compulsion to reproduce is central to all forms of life, the penguins could be forgiven if they'd said the hell with it and evolved in the direction of being able to swim to Patagonia.
		The penguins instinctively know, because they have been hard-wired by evolutionary trial and error, that it is necessary to march so far inland because in spring, the ice shelf will start to melt toward them, and they need to stand where the ice will remain thick enough to support them.
		He was not writing about the journey of the penguins, but about his own trek with two others through the bitter night to their mating grounds.

	Evolutionblog: March of the Penguins
		Likewise, the only allusion to evolution in “March of the Penguins” is a line near the beginning, intoned in the English-language version by the narrator, Morgan Freeman: “For millions of years they have made their home on the darkest, driest, windiest and coldest continent on earth.
		Skuas, primarily scavengers, are aggressive eaters of penguin chicks.
		I think the cruel and wasteful march of the penguins is simply proof that it is actually penguins who comitted original sin and the Christians have things all wrong.

	‘March of the Penguins’ - Catholic Online
		Without question, the award for parents of the year goes to the webfooted wonders in "March of the Penguins" (Warner Independent), a nature documentary that chronicles the yearly mating migrations of emperor penguins in the Antarctic.
		Jacquet captures emotions ranging from the comic (penguins belly-flopping across the ice); to the tragic (a heartbreaking scene of a mother "grieving" the loss of her chick); to the heroic (a phalanx of males braving a brutal blizzard).
		”March of the Penguins" is the perfect antidote for the cinematic junk food packaged as entertainment during summer months.

	Movie Habit
		I was worried that this penguin documentary would be cutesy and shallow and would try to entertain kids rather than teach them anything.
		After some penguin love, the female lays a single egg, which must be cradled between the tops of her feet and the insulating flap of her belly in order to withstand the freezing temperatures.
		Soon she passes the egg to the father (not a risk-free proposition), and then she walks back to the water to eat, having lost "up to a third of her body weight" (or, "no more than a third of her body weight" -- but still...) producing the egg.

	Life in Antarctica can get pretty grim. But don't tell that to these driven birds.
		But the food is still in the sea, so the fathers and mothers must alternate, after months of starving themselves in sub-zero temperatures, trekking back to the sea to eat again while the other stays behind to protect their egg and subsequently their child.
		"March of the Penguins" is in a way an epic adventure film with a cast of thousands -- and narrated, as if he were the voice of God, by Morgan Freeman (and let me be the first to lobby for legislation that Freeman narrate all documentaries from now on; I'm phoning my congressman today).
		"March of the Penguins," in its original French form, apparently had the penguins talking about their hopes and dreams; foreplay sounds were even dubbed in, and the music was silly and comedic.

	Interview: "March of the Penguins" Director Luc Jacquet
		March of the Penguins, the latest movie from National Geographic Feature Films, tells the remarkable story of emperor penguins and their annual migration across the treacherous ice of Antarctica.
		Each winter, the penguins journey for hundreds of miles to reach their traditional breeding ground where, after a ritual courtship, they pair off into monogamous couples and mate.
		I wanted to write a story that made the viewer feel like [he or she] was really right there with the penguins.

	Movie Spoiler for the film - MARCH OF THE PENGUINS
		The primary advantages of the breeding ground is that it is somewhat sheltered, few predators have access, and the ice is so thick that there is not a concern with the young falling through into the icy waters.
		The penguins need to rely on their fat stores for long periods of time during the breeding season.
		Eventually they will enter the water too, and fish, and in five years they will be ready for breeding as well, taking their own place in the March of the Penguins.

	The Flick Filosopher \| March of the Penguins and Deep Blue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		As a species, birds are pretty amusing, and penguins, with their hobbled, flightless birdiness, are the most hilarious birds of all.
		March of the Penguins is a love story, and, "like most love stories, it begins with an act of foolishness," narrator Morgan Freeman (War of the Worlds, Batman Begins) informs us as the film opens.
		And the evidence of that is right before us in March of the Penguins, which succeeds majestically itself in a way that few nature documentaries ever do: we identify with these bizarre birds, who turn out not to be so bizarre after all.

	March of the Penguins
		Each summer, after a nourishing period of deep-sea feeding, the penguins pop up onto the ice and begin their procession across the frozen tundra of Antarctica.
		Mothers return from the sea to reunite with their families and feed the starving newborns, while the fathers are finally relieved of their protective duties after months without food.
		But even more incredible is its photography, which shows the penguins hunting underwater, sliding on the ice, and in the midst of "kissing." At one point the camera even zooms inside the mouth of a penguin as it regurgitates for its young.
