    I would give 10 stars but there's no sound track

    This is literally the BEST movie I have ever watched. Recommended for ALL ages. The only downside is that there's no soundtrack. The best part of the whole movie. Apart from that, I have watched this numerous times. Maybe to many times.

    Also just notifying you of, or if I ever use this website again, I am no one in particular.

    The Animation Company That Is As Good As Pixar

    Only two reviews???...oh, my, god!!! There really isn't a lot to be said here other than the company is one of the very best in the world and should be doing feature films...they did an amazing job here on this (remember this is only about 16 individuals)… The soundtrack is wonderful...the design work and lighting is wonderful...the STORY is great (most important part) and they have a lot of kudos from me.

    It was a very special Christmas that they put this film on because we had this and also the return of Wallace and Gromit. It may sound silly but this film really made the Christmas because it was so very good...when you see something of very high quality you tend to get a real buzz off it and this one had that.

    Wonderful story

    I only caught this little animated film by accident but was so glad I did. It's a joy to behold. The animation is brilliant and the story is told with great feeling by Jim Broadbent with lots of great advice woven into the story about acceptance of people from different backgrounds and not to judge on first impressions only. Then ending was just beautiful and turned me into an emotional wreck!

    The background music was beautiful too.

    This is one not to miss. I would recommend this for children and adults. This is one to watch over and over and should be on every year and is up there with The Snowman and Wallace and Gromit for quality and entertainment.

    Beautifully done in every way.

    It is perhaps hard to see how anything is perfect, a 10/10, but I can't think of any other score for this. Based on a wonderful book this is stunningly animated, wonderfully scored, and skillfully narrated by the marvellous Jim Broadbent. This brought a year to my eye at times and I am a 41 year old. My kids love it, I may love it more!

    unrealistic

    Traveled to south pole on a small row boat for thousands miles? really? what's the point? friendship, i know. but not to justify a movie on this.

    • Trivia
      The scene where the boy and the penguin are drifting through the ocean in a small boat and come across a large number of floating rubber ducks is a reference to a real event. In January 1992 a shipping container containing 29,000 rubber bath toys including yellow ducks fell from the cargo ship 'Ever Laurel' in a storm. The container subsequently burst open releasing the toys into the ocean. This event proved to be an unexpected windfall for science as oceanographers were able to track ocean currents in a way never before possible.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: but he never stopped to think of what the visitor was doing there in first place.

    • Crazy credits
      the end credits background look extremely similar to the last page of the book, with a bird's-eye-view shot of the boat on the sea with whales in the water underneath it.
