Coming from French director, Luc Jacquet, this Oscar-winning documentary follows the remarkable migration of the Emperor penguins as they make the hazardous journey from their summer feeding grounds to the harsh centre of the Antarctic tundra to mate and give birth. This beautifully shot film observes the return of the mothers to the coast and the new fathers as they struggle to survive with their young charges, withstanding some of the most brutal weather on the planet. Unfortunately March Of The Penguins is a glorious piece of documentary film making savaged by an editing style that deprives it of a good deal of its natural drama, a narrative script that thinks this is a Disney movie and voiceover by Morgan Freeman which seems to be talking about Lassie's long journey home. What we are left with is a cosy family friendly extravaganza that lacks the sophistication of BBC's ‘Life in the Freezer', but is enjoyable and recommendable nonetheless.
