                I loved this as a child

                Well I understand this film is somewhat stupid and cheesy (considering I just watched it again for the first time in 16 years) but I remember it being a huge childhood favorite. I loved it so much as a kid (3 or 4 years old) that the memory of this film stuck with me as an adult and I swear I searched hi and low for this movie but couldn't remember the name. I finally found it laying at the top of a wal-mart $5 bin. So anyways, it obviously did something for me as a kid cause as soon as I watched it again, it gave me the same warm feeling. Scamper is too cute!!! I recommend this film to any parent to have their child watch. Although with the intense animation skills we have now, it will probably seem a little old school.

                A lot of good childhood memories.

                I must have watched this movie half a million times as a kid. I went through various stages of loving and hating it. At one point we started hiding the video because, whenever our younger brother caught a glimpse of the case, he would want to watch it (sometimes multiple times in the same day). But I think I eventually ended up loving it. I haven't seen it for about 8 years, and right about now, it would really hit the spot. Older people are likely to find it too childish, fortunately, kids never think that. Scamper is a great kid's movie. And seriously, how can you go wrong with talking penguins?

                They walk with a waddle, are shaped like a bottle. They really look absurd!

                "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!

                Great

                I remember seeing this as a kid and it made me kind of sad when I saw the rating chewed down to only 3 stars. This is just a kids movie, and a good one at that. I weeped at some parts, Scamper is a cute movie that the kids will enjoy. 10/10

                Kids who watch this grow up to be INCREDIBLEY successful!

                Just look at me! Hehehehe, My mom raised her four children on this show! Jackie lives in Birmingham as an office assistant, Jamie's in Florida (Happy as a clam), Marco lives in Kentucky with his girlfriend and her two kids (they're getting' hitched in July), and I ditched America for the islands! And ta think we all came from Boston! We ALL watched this movie. It taught us everything we'd ever need to know about life: Love, bad situations, friendship, and how to escape being sent to a zoo by angry Russians! Where would the world be without Scamper and Snowflake?!

                For it's time and genre, I think they did an awesome job, in all. The songs are so cute!

                I love it, love it, love it!

                My heart was racing when they eggs were getting stolen, too.

                  Gracie: Oh Gilbert, you were so brave, you protected our eggs.

                  Snowflake's mother: Oh how could you let this happen? You know you were supposed to be watching the nest!

                  Snowflake's father: I'm sorry dear, please, try to calm down.

                  Gilbert: Grace, I can't tell a lie, I'm sorry, one of our eggs was taken by seagulls.

                  [gathers up both eggs and takes them to to the other couple]

                  Gilbert: Perhaps, one of these eggs belongs to you.
