    This is better than any 1/2 hour documentary that appears on tv! Its got fabulous filming and focuses on the penguin's way of life and how they exist. Its a love story in a way because it focuses on the relationship bonds between mother, father and chick and how they rely on each other.

    I am biased where penguins are concerned, because I think they are gorgeous creatures, but even my partner found this was an excellent well directed movie.

    Absolutely wonderful! Such amazing penguins -stars of this excellent documentary! Great narration too! It was the first film I'd seen where I learnt so much about penguins and enjoyed it! I really sympathised with their hardship! Excellent film for adults but too tedious for our 15-heard old son who stopped watching after 15 minutes! He missed a treat!

    i had never seen this,and as all nature docos look superb in blu ray,i was really looking forward to this. What a disappoinment. As a blu mray,the picture is no clearer,no sharper than normal DVD quality. After 15 minutes, i took it off,and put on the blu ray of 'The Penguin King', and the difference is enormous - picture is absolutely amazing. So, if you are happy,and ok with normal DVD picture quality,then you will be happy with this,otherwise,prepare for a disappointment.

    i watched this after frozen planet but I think if I had watched it before it would have been so much better. The only thing that made this amazing was Morgan Freeman.

    non animal lovers might find this a bit teedious because its basically a documentary about penguins, but for the animal lovers out there you will love it, promise!!

    Morgan Freeman makes the voiceover very good, and keeps you in suspense, theres funny bits, and sad bits all intermingled.

    Well worth watching.
