My dear girlfriend and I saw this today, and were very pleasantly entertained. The movie has a good message, but it really wasn't fleshed out enough. Still, it merits much good discussion with youngsters and anyone else who's environmentally unaware of the perils facing our oceans. I'm a second grade teacher and would love to show this movie to my young students. For one thing, and as one can learn from the trailers, it deals with a "differently-abled" penguin who can't do what his elders require of him. Rather than give up and conform (when he knows he can't), he insists on being himself. This leads to some interesting film-making with incredible animation. I agree that there may be too many tunes crammed into this movie, but what the heck, my feet kept tapping the theater floor.
