At best they waddle, slipping or tripping every fifth or sixth step and making a sound like a dropped squeaky toy. Adélie penguins are built to fly; just not in the air. The latest DisneyNature production, co-directed by Jeff Wilson and famed doc-maker Alastair Fothergill, heads to the coast of Antarctica and a colony of the adorable, two-foot-tall avians. His mate, Adeline, gets no voice at all, but I’m going to give Disney a pass because most of their nature films have focused on mama bears, mama monkeys, mama cats, etc. Penguins are one of the few species where dads do their share of the work, which is probably why I relate to them so well.
