Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Everyone has a purpose....
A feel good movie that leaves you feeling that everyone has a purpose no matter how insignificant people around them think they are.
Rating:  - A Beautiful Collector's book
This is more of a collector's book than an informative book--what's in the movie is exactly in this book.

Rating: - Penguins march from the pages in full color
Luc Jacquet's MARCH OF THE PENGUINS (0792261828, $30.00) was a surprise movie hit, attracting many audiences who didn't particularly care about penguins or nature films.

Rating: - Amazing
This book brings the movie, and indeed the penguins, to life. It is a pleasure to read and to get lost in the beauty of Anarctica and the amazing feats of the penguins. I highly recommend it!
Rating:  - If you want to completely relive the movie...
