A very sweet documentary (sort of) about penguins. It doesn?t really go into any real scientism, why the penguins do what they do etc, instead it humanises them, in the way only a Disney produced film can. Don?t despair though, it?s filmed beautifully and the penguins are the real stars here. Sometimes they fall over! Everyone loves watching penguins fall over right? How can I rate it any less than 4 stars. The baby one?s are so cute. And they fall over! :oD

A lovely little short companion peace to Monty Pythons meaning of life. You should watch it before as it's continued (sort of) in the main feature. Quite ahead of it's time really for 1983 and it makes quite a political statement.

A beautiful heart warming story of life, death and peace. Kurosawa is undoubtedly the greatest director ever and Shimura's Mr. Watanabe is probably my most favourite cinema character of all time. This is one of the greatest films ever made!

There is no doubt in my mind that this is the greatest film ever made. every time I watch it (and I've watched it quite a few times) I find something new, new meaning, new metaphors. Kubrick made very few films but with him the phrase 'Quality over quantity' rings very true. Brilliant.
