A pretentious film!

I gave 2 stars entirely because the image of the little penguin is very cute. The penguin is very cute.
Okay, stop talking nonsense.
There is absolutely no bright spot in the film's conception. Dancing and environmental protection are two irrelevant things that are not related to each other. Does the producer want to use this film to vigorously promote tap dancing, or can dancing also be environmentally friendly? It's unreasonable to be so rigid, and I don't know what the director wants to express. Maybe it's just a sudden inspiration to make an animation of animals dancing, but in order to win the award, he just pulls in the theme of environmental protection.
Each animal may have its own singing or dancing, but this film chose the human dazzling technique of tap dance and put it on the penguin, which made me feel very inconsistent. Penguins have short legs! And who is born with such a demanding dance? Just like someone who has never seen a dog asking him to learn how to bark, it's just bullshit.
Second, why does the protagonist penguin keep the fluff of a juvenile penguin even as an adult? Is it not fully developed? The film does not give an explanation.
Third, the logic is unreasonable. Humans saw a dancing penguin at the zoo, and then knew that the penguins were starving because of human fishing? According to the reality, it should be that the zoo is desperately training this dancing penguin, advertising it all over the world, let it dance non-stop every day to earn more money, and then find a healthy female for it to give birth to more. Dance offspring to earn more money. From being locked in the zoo to being suddenly released back to the Antarctic, there is no transition or explanation in the middle. This kind of jump is really incredible!
Fourth, because dancing brings benefits to the penguins, after a second, all the penguins who were opposed to dancing before learned to dance, and they also flattered humans in the way of group dance on the "Grand Square", making humans laugh haha Laugh straight, so there should be a fish thrown to your mouth in the next second, right? It really makes me feel sick!
