OSC says, regarding "Happy Feet":

quote:
It's just that this movie, by sentimentalizing the penguins, doesn't want us to remember that penguins are a predator species (at least from the fishies' point of view---didn't you see the hero penguin eat Nemo?) and are not in any way superior to the killer whales and leopard seals that prey on them.

Of course penguins are superior---they're cuter!

(Just kidding.)
