The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin

This movie is one of the best! my children have grown up watching it.... and even as an adult i find time with a few friends to watch it with......... although it is wonderful it become quite a comedy when you imagine the characters as acting like people you know... we now call one of my friends Snowflake because of this oh so wonderful movie. I think personally that this movie is even greater then those Disney movies. For it contains almost no violence nor any sexual references. The best part is if you look hard enough at the movie you can pick out some pretty humorous parts. Not so much what they say, just the way the cartoon itself has been drawn. But i can't imagine going at least two weeks without watching this movie once.

I used to watch Scamper when I was little and it was one of my favorite tapes. It has sweet characters and a nice story for children to enjoy. It's very entertaining and fun! Rent it for your kids if you have the chance!

When I was a little girl I adored this film, I thought it was ever so cute. It was also then when I had a love for penguins, growing up on Pingu and the Don Bluth film Pebble and the Penguin helped that. Now I am 17, and I still think Scamper the Penguin is a very cute movie for kids. It may start off slowly, but you are hooked later on. The animation is not that bad, as long as you're not expecting Disney standard animation you'll be fine. The Antarctic backgrounds are nice to look at, and the colours are not too dull. The music is also lovely, the theme tune was one I used to sing all the time around the house. The story is sweet, same with the characters especially Scamper and Snowflake both are so cute and Louie is very funny. Scamper the Penguin also teaches some great morals such as humans are actually good and giving back things that don't belong to you. These are morals that adults can teach their children. The seagull attacks kind of scared me when I was little, but now I am alright with them. There are parts when you laugh and others when you cry. All in all, a cute kids movie that ticks all the right boxes. 10/10 Bethany Cox

A great cartoon originally created by a Russian-Japanese team and then translated to other languages, including English. The Russian version is Priklyucheniya pingvinenka Lolo (1986) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0997087/maindetails

Most pleasant thing about this cartoon is that the animals are as close to the nature as possible, which is rare (both in American and Russain cartoons, not sure about other parts of the world.) I'm Russian and so far I've seen only the Russian version, and the funny thing is that before I read the comments here, I was convinced that the bad guys were Americans :))) After that I've carefully watched the cartoon once again with my 2 year-old daughter (who loves it, though does not completely understand some things yet) and: the only allusion to the poachers' nationality was their dog's name - Jack. No direct references, no flag, no accent. All of us are just victims of the cold war, actually :)

What else...

• savagestar180 said "this movie is even greater then those Disney movies. For it contains almost no violence", while in the Soviet Union it was the first cartoon where blood was shown

• One of the Russian animators who created this cartoon, A. Dorogov, now works for «Walt Disney» and participated in, for example, Lilo & Stitch http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1819960/.

"Scamper the Penguin" Greatest movie ever made...It has everything: Suspense, comedy, drama, horror, not to mention a GREAT soundtrack! (from the well known group, Bullets, of course!) It starts off excellently, making you think, "Hey, I didn't know this was a documentary! I want my money back!" But then as it gets further in the movie, your eyes are glued to the screen! Personally, my exact thoughts were, "Oh no! The seagulls are gonna steal all the eggs! Save 'em Gilbert...I know you can do it!" The movie has some real good morals too. One example of this is when Gilbert takes the other penguin couple's egg, he gives it back. Another example is when the adult penguins say that humans are horrible creatures, but they turn out to be nice and helpful. Never judge a book by it's cover! All in all "Scamper the Penguin" is a great movie with little...if any...flaws. I give it a 10 out of 10, as any self respecting movie-lover should too!
