Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderfull Movie
Review: This cute Movie is just perfect for the whole family.The music soundtrack is very good,and the songs are well written.I recommend others to buy the DVD edition,because of all the features in it.It can easily be seen several times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best MGM Cartoon
Review: This wonderful cartoon is not only suitable for children of all ages but also for adults. This romantic story about two faithful penguins (Hubie and Marina) shows that persistence of true love will lead to happiness. Hubie's sidekick, Rocko, although very different in character, parallels Hubie's determination of reaching a dream--to fly. The Pebble and the Penguin is truly a heartwarming cartoon. If you want a cartoon that will stay in your memories and bring a smile to your face forever, get this video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb!
Review: This, along with "Thumbelina," "All Dogs go to Heaven," and "Rock a Doodle," are among the best Don Bluth films ever made. Why are they so disliked?! In my family, we have watched these movies repeatedly for years and laughed, cried, etc. They are so much fun! The music in this movie is WONDERFUL and the voice acting, particularly Martin Short's Hubie, is great. A cute movie and a cute story.

Other notes: Penguins have eyelashes, deal with it. Drake is an abnormally muscular and busty Adele penguin. Marina's flower is magic. Or plastic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very good family cartoon
Review: Very cute family movie.Its perfect for the whole family,and very entertaining.The soundtarck score is great,and it adds the movie a musical "Style" The most irritating carecter in the movie is Drake.He is so anniong,that I could .... him personally.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entertaining and with worthwhile messages
Review: Why is it that less than buff guys (especially when made over by Carson Kressley) get the girls? Maybe because the buff penguins regularly threaten to feed the girl, one Marina Penguin, to the sharks or leave her to be ostracized by penguin society (much like we often treat single people) if she doesn't marry one Drake before sunset. How romantic. Meanwhile, Hubie, Marina's milquetoast love, goes through fire and ice to bring her a courtship pebble. Reality check guys: That's romance. And learning to fight for the girl doesn't hurt. The allegories to human behavior make us realize how fundamental our most powerful emotions are. Yes, it's silly, yes, the animation has elements of SECRET OF NIMH (and that's a plus), yes, it wanders, but kids enjoy it and adults can sit through it. It's a sweet story. It's all about the story...and the penguin.
