The story follows a little penguin that is visited by his friend Whale every year, until one day, Penguin has almost nowhere to go. The Glaciers have melted due to global warming. Whale begins its journey in search of a glacier where his friend Penguin can live, but day after day, the heat prevents him from arriving in time with the solution.
I love the animation of this film and the background music is stunning. The message about the disappearing glaciers is a poignant one in today's world and drives home the threats from climate change and global warming. These two buddies have a not-so-great future as Penguin's habitat is rapidly disappearing. The colors of this animation are spectacular and truly portray both the majesty and the terror of what we face today. The ending image with the mountain of trash in the middle of the ocean is another wake up call.
The message of this film is about climate change and the affects it has on all living things, particularly those in the natural world.
I give Penguin and Whale 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to 12, plus adults. Older teens could enjoy it also. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
