March of the Penguins (2005) is a story of love. The emperor penguins have a romantic relationship with another penguin. Their annual mating ritual is presented like an ancient love story, one that has survived the ages and still relates to people today. The penguins survive all odds and risk their lives to mate. This is the true romance behind the movie, their faith that their march has a reason.

March of the Penguins (2005) is introduced as a love story. The emperor penguins are monogamous for one season, but the next year they mate with a different penguin. True there is a love story between two penguins for one year to give birth to a chick, but the love story that remains year after year is the one shared by the entire community of penguins. They hope to survive the winter and give life to another generation of penguins.

After watching “The March of the Penguins” the first thing I thought of was “Wow.” I was amazed; the idea that this specious of penguins, the emperor penguin, makes such a ridiculous trip to produce their young is amazing. They leave the comfort of the ocean, but march seventy miles to find a mate. They then reproduce a penguin egg and then spend the next months taking turns traveling back and forth getting food for the child. The thing that hit me the most is that such a harsh, long trip takes up most of their year, and most of it winds up in vein.
