janevicsimonp Review of The Pebble and the Penguin

The Pebble and the Penguin (1995)

Makes "Happy Feet Two" look like "Surf's Up". Warning: This is a long rant.

This is a terrible movie. Nothing irked me more than the penguin character designs. These BIRDS have teeth as well as fingers on their wings that do not look at all like feathers. To add insult to injury, they also wear clothes..The animation is dull in color, but I suppose it might look okay if it wasn't (but the characters still wouldn't). All of the songs are forgettable and many are also nothing more than filler. Only the villain song, "Don't Make Me Laugh" is somewhat half-decent. The story is stupid. Hubie gets his pebble because it fell from... an asteroid. He gets swept away by the ocean current after Drake pushes him in even though as an animal that spends 80% of its life in the ocean he should know how to avoid this. There's no backstory on how Drake kidnapped Marina or on how Rocko (WTF) LEARNED HOW TO FLY!!! There's a reason penguins in real life can't do that!! Overall, this is just garbage and I don't understand why a decent amount of people on the internet seem to like it. Totally lives up to its 11% RT score.
