This piece of of marvelous reality nature documentary is my favorite among the three. From the astounding visual to the message conveyed, ‘March of the Penguins’ worths chewing the cud. The story plot begins with two adventurous men, Laurent Chalet and Jerome Maison. Spending a whole year in Antarctica, they depict the lifecycle of the Emperor Penguins. Being the largest in size of any other species of penguin, Emperor Penguins are able to stand almost fifty inches tall. However, they encounter the harsh realities of lives similar to other penguins.

Some remarkable footages captured they make concerted efforts to expel the predators. What a admirable team spirit owned by Emperor Penguins! Another extraordinary sight is watching they waddle along en masse and in a single file. When they got tired, they alter for a cuter way which is slide along on their stomachs in a toboggan style. I am impressed by penguins’ determination to complete their life journey resolutely. Meanwhile, some scenes in the documentary evoke a heartbroken feeling. Some Emperor Penguins choose leaving the ‘team’ and perish alone. I commiserate with those cannot endure harsh life on the freezing ground. Yet, a ‘march’ usually needs someone to
