The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin

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?

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!

In the words of a highly shrewd and experienced colleague of mine: "This movie is either stupid, or so incredibly deep I can't even fathom it."

So says the guru ...

Scamper the Penguin is laughable; the sound effects are inane. I believe, more than once, the sound of someone knocking on a door was used for various purposes. If you are fond of creating Mystery Science Theater 3000 -esque witticisms whilst watching a movie, this very well could be your next project. Oh, how it will satisfy you.

The eternal question: Was the German scientist guy really homosexual? Why do the penguins keep on changing colors?

Oh God! Mom, they're showing the same scene again!

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.

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.
