![]() I do have a few complaints tho and that is with the character design. ![]() It looks nice enough to even pretty good at times. I personally don’t have much experience with art and animation criticism, and I have taken into account this movies age, so there isnt much to pan it on. Additionally, at least tome, the ending was sort of chintzy as it apppeared pretty melodramatic tho this might be due to a difference in the legal system and societal attitude towards convicts and propriety in the japanese 80’s and modern day America. This might be partially due to the movies age but then you can’t say it has aged well. Additionally since it is targeted at a slightly younger audience the violence, love, and tension are sort of dialed down and minimized, making for a rather flat roller coaster ride. There are no twists, no new angles on the old clichés. One could easily predict almost every single plot developement well before it happens. I feel like I have seen this story at least 3 times before. I will go in depth in the body but my final judgement and reccomendation lies in the conclusory paragraph if you wish The only original thing it has going for it is the novelty that it is penguins. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t bad it was just absolutely nothing special. No penguin puns or references whatsoever, no flashy animation sequences that would be lost in live action. This movie is just a regular movie from the 80’s that happens to use animated penguins instead of actors. But the most interesting thing is actually how uninteresting it is. Hmmm this was certainly an interesting watch. It isn't given to a "meh" piece of throwaway entertainment. The music and sound was also pretty average, though I couldn't point to anything I disliked.Ī 7/10 is a good score, something I give to anime that I don't want to forget about. ![]() It is a very dialogue and character driven story. ![]() This was released in 1985, and I would say that the artwork is average even for its time, though with the exception of the first and third scene, there isn't a lot of heavy animation anyway. An individual who wants to live a quiet life as a librarian, where he can be surrounded by the poetry that motivates him to keep pushing forward through tough times. An individual who has lost things very close to them. This film focuses less on the combat and much more on character development and what war does to an individual. They have a good talk and at this point it all sinks in. Three best friend penguins, one of which was just wounded. However, once this action tones down a bit, we are introduces to our main characters. bunch of penguins lined up in bush firing M16's at other penguins and I laughed so hard I had to pause to take a breather. Bearing in mind my thoughts going into it, the first shot was a This is not stupid at all! This was such an eyeopener for me! This film looks silly. I found this browsing the archived seasonal charts and thought, "Hmm, this might just be stupid enough to be enjoyable!". I have to watch a show from each year from 1985-2004 in the next two months. I am currently taking part in the recommendation clubs August/September challenge. The fact that only 340 people have got this on their list is quite disappointing.
