As a brief promo by a Sea World Animal Ambassador tells us before the movie begins, male penguins really do present pebbles to the females during a courtship that will result in a lifetime match. This post-Thumbelina Don Bluth/Barry Manilow effort gives us Hubie, a nerdy penguin whose love for the beautiful Marina, remarkably, is returned. Alas, before he can present her with a fine stone, his evil--and strangely buff--rival throws him into the swirling sea. Epic adventures and a comical sidekick result. Leopard seals and killer whales threaten, but kids will be entertained rather than frightened by this harmless, if less-than-brilliant movie. --Kimberly Heinrichs
Description
From the majestic landscapes of a frozen land comes a beloved animated adventure to warm everyone'sheart. Featuring the incomparable songs of Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman, and the voice talents of Martin Short, James Belushi, Tim Curry and Annie Golden, this animated tale from the creator of The Secret of NIMH is a magical musical treat for all. Your kids will love it...and you will too (Elayne Blythe, Film Advisory Board, Inc.). The Full Moon Mating Ceremony, a real-life penguintradition, requires that bachelor birds present pebbles to their sweethearts. And in this film, a shy bird named Hubie has the perfect stone for his love, Marina. But there's considerable competitionfor Marina's affections, and in an exciting race against time, sea, storm and a host of other obstacles, Hubie learns that it's not the perfect pebblebut rather the perfect penguinthat always gets the girl.

 WRONG PRODUCT October 11, 2008

After receiving the product, I opened the case, and it was a totally different movie. I needed the video for a classroom presentation, but I got some movie about a monkey.
 We love this film! April 2, 2008
It's hard to find a movie that entertains both boys and girls. This one does. It also grabs most adults that see it too. As for some reviewers stating the film is "corny"----well, if the underdog or penguin in this case, beating the bully and getting the girl is corny than YEP it is. I want my children to watch shows that have a POSITIVE message. A little corny never hurt a child, especially in the state the world is in today. There will be plenty of time for them to see "Kill Bill" later on in life, I guess. The vocal talents of Martin Short and Jim Belushi are unbelievable............they can sing.
 This is a classic December 26, 2007
The Pebble and the Penguin is a movie that my daughter remembers from her childhood and wanted to share with her little girl. We were grateful to find it on DVD!
