Movie Summary:
Morgan Freeman narrates this documentary, one of the most popular of all time. Set in Antarctica, it's about the breeding cycle of the emperor penguin, a flightless bird that in adulthood stands some three-and-a-half feet tall and weighs around 75 pounds. To breed, the penguins waddle about 60 miles inland, pair off with a mate, incubate an egg and raise a chick in weather many degrees below zero. In an earlier French version, penguins "talked"—voice-over actors were used—but not in this Americanized version.
