March of the Penguins (2005)

Iconicly narrated by Morgan Freeman this documentary on the life cycle of Emperor Penguins made boo koo bucks, $127.4 million on an $8 million budget and won a best documentary Oscar. The film fills in the gaps on the natural details from the rough outline I got from Happy Feet and Scamper the Penguin. I always thought the worse thing about being a penguin would be having to dress formally all the time, but really their lives kind of suck I don't envy them, sure they have a fun 4 or so years hunting in the sea, assuming they don't get eaten, before the matting drive takes over, but penguin lives for the most part are hard, hungry and cold. They are beautiful though, and so is this very sold documentary.
