1. Would adults enjoy it?
It's being advertised as a kids flick, but I want to see it. Would an adult enjoy it?

2. I actually think

adults would like it better than kids. G-rated movies tend to be promoted for kids, but it's a pretty sedate, slow moving film, and some of the smaller kids (under 6) didn't seem very into it. Listening to the narration is key to understanding what's going on, and some of the kids weren't up to the task. ;)

It's a documentary about penguins, and the plot is simple: the penguins go from the sea to their breeding grounds, breed, and return to the sea. (With some twists and turns along the way).

6. Cool!
When I saw it, there were two kids in the theater who weren't into it, but most of the kids were.

3. Yes, absolutely!
All members of your family will enjoy it. The tenacity of the beautiful emperor penguins is nothing short of astonishing & the stark beauty of Antarctica is elegantly portrayed. Two thumbs up!

7. I loved it, and I think most kids will, too
About half of the audience when we went were kids, in fact, and they seemed into it.
