March of the Penguins (2005)

Hello, and welcome to another month of Apocalypse Video’s look at the wondrous world of Nature. For the month of March, we leave behind the ocean waters and take to the skies to observe the many species that inhabit the world above our heads. This…is March of the Penguins (...And Other Bird Related Films).

All month long we’ll be discussing everything from penguins - to extravagant plumage in Miami; bizarre worlds filled with talking herons - to the madcap zaniness of Ducks. No feather will be left unturned.

In this first installment, we’ll join the emperor penguins of Antarctica on their long march to their breeding grounds where we will witness first hand the arduous journey that they undergo every year - a journey across many miles, wrought with danger, but fueled by the love of a mother and father.

This…is March of the Penguins.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try our best not to drop the penguin eggs are fellow cinephiles and nature lovers Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the shocking revelation that not all of the penguins in the film were what they appeared to be (or sound like); Ryan takes us down a Happy Feet tangent; and finally, our old friend (Free) Willy pops up to blow our minds…and break our hearts.

And thus concludes our look at the titular March of the Penguins. When we return, we’ll be getting into the other Bird Related Films portion of our theme as we head over to Miami to witness the extravagant plumage on display in Mike Nichols’ The Birdcage.
