Movie Reviews of The Pebble and the Penguin - Family Fun Edition
Movie Review: Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
This, along with "Thumbelina," "All Dogs go to Heaven," and "Rock a Doodle," are among the best Don Bluth films ever made. Why are they so disliked?! In my family, we have watched these movies repeatedly for years and laughed, cried, etc. They are so much fun! The music in this movie is WONDERFUL and the voice acting, particularly Martin Short's Hubie, is great. A cute movie and a cute story. Other notes: Penguins have eyelashes, deal with it. Drake is an abnormally muscular and busty Adele penguin. Marina's flower is magic. Or plastic.
Movie Review: True love
Summary: 5 Stars
I was feeling pretty low in High School. This film related to my earnest desires to find romance. well I didn't find my true love but I loved this film. I'm a big fan of cartoon romances and sweet love sonnets. Now and Forever is my favorite song. I recommend it over any disney sequel. It has warmed my heart and renewed my faith in true love. It says that anyone can find their true in the most unusual people. Hubie is not the most handsome penguin in the rookery. Marina sees his finer traits even though he's a wimp and a nerd and even a little wacky. But he has a good heart. It made me realize that I don't have to be the prettiest girl to find romance it will find me.note Hubie isn't ugly but his gentle and warm heart made him the better suitor than the manly and suave Drake. Don't give up on romance people. Everybody needs love including nerdy and shy wacks like Hubie!Movie Review: Who knew penguins could fight?
Summary: 3 Stars
A shy and not so tough penguin named Hubie (Martin Short) falls in love with the good looking Marina (Annie Golden). Once he finds out that he might actually have a chance to be Marina's mate for the upcoming mating season, he tries to find her the most spectacular pebble possible. For this group of penguins, a pebble is just like a wedding ring that we humans use. But there's some rough and icy waters in store for Hubie. Not only is there a macho penguin who also wants Marina, but humans and of course whales, may also pose a threat.Back when I was a kid, I wanted to see "The Pebble and the Penguin" when it first came out in 1995, but I never got the chance to see it until today. I have to admit that it's not as good as I thought it would be, but it wasn't bad either. It has good animation, it's mildly entertaining, and it would probably be especially great for kids who like animated movies. However, on the bad side, it could've been a lot better in almost every aspect and I was disappointed with the music.
Movie Review: This is one of the best animated films that I've ever seen.
Summary: 4 Stars
I began to watch this film without expecting much. Admittedly, it does not feature the best animation, but that is not the most important feature in an animated film. It's not the 'Lion King' or 'Dinasaur', but I don't think that it was meant to be. The story is about a love triangle between a good-guy penguin named Hubie, his sweetheart Marina and the egotistical and pompous Drake - this penguin is willing to stoop or bully his way to any level to marry Marina, who is not very interested in him. Hubie must beat the clock to find the most precious pebble and make it back in time, braving all kinds of weather and challenging situations in order to wed Marina. This love-triangle theme of the film was not too 'grown-up', was handled well, and is suitable for children of all ages.The film is both sad (without being too over-the-top) and funny. The dialogue between the characters is both original and hilarious, and the film in general is very wacky, as were some of the songs. Drake's over-the-top rendition of "Don't make me laugh" had me splitting my sides. James Belushi's characterization of Rocko was perfectly fitted to his natural humour and temperament, and Tim Curry did a great job of Drake. This film is the perfect example of not expecting much from a film, but getting everything. If you like a lot of fun, you will probably love this film.
