by the mid 1990s and the career of animator director don bluth had seemed to drop to its all time low. before and bluth had made a series of popular animated films and many which remain beloved today such as the land before time (1988) and the secret of nimh (1982) and and an american tail (1986). but beginning with thumbelina in 1994 and his films seemed to decrease more and more in quality and popularity and one of the many unfortunate entries is 1995 box office bomb the pebble and the penguin and a film that do not attract audience members beyond parents and children under the age of seven. frankly and the latter are the only audience members i can comprehend taking enjoyment out of this rather bland animated feature. the story is absurd. the film stars a poorly drawn and stammering and and chubby penguin named hubie (voiced by martin short) who falls in love with a female penguin with a surprisingly healthy flower on her head (voice by annie golden). sort of like in real life and penguins present their bride to bes with a pebble as a substitute for a ring. but when hubie is swept away by the current and he teams up with a lone rockhopper (james belushi) with a dream of flying and they race against time to return to antarctica before it too late. the reasons why they could be too late is one of many underdeveloped elements of this weak story that would still be weak even if they were there. it becomes very clear very early on why this animated children musical does not and will not work for anybody older than say six or seven years of age. it just does not have any of the qualities that are required for a good animated feature. number one and the film looks bad on account of a very poor drawing style. the animation in this film is very cartoony (even as far as animated films go) while it dark and gloomy and there is no vibrancy in the colors and and on top of that and the design of the film and the elements in it are universally droll and laughable. take for instance and the penguins who star in the film. with only a few background exceptions and every single penguin looks absolutely nothing at all like a bird. hubie and for example and looks absurdly ridiculous with wide cheeks and a stubby beak and big eyes and and that preposterous hat that he wears wherever he goes. combined with his hand like flippers he looks like chris farley in a penguin suit. result represent he an ugly and poorly drawn cartoon character. but the most absurd looking and absurdly designed character is the evil penguin and drake and who frankly looks nothing at all like a penguin. he a muscle man wearing a penguin mask. he got a chest broader than that of arnold schwarzenegger and and teeth larger than the teeth of the leopard seals and killer whales that serve as the film predators. basically and he a two dimensional and recycled villain. he lives in a cave shaped like a skull and he wears a cape and laughs a lot and and gets mad when people laugh with him. result represent who cares. and what also bad and and maybe worse and is that this is an animated musical and there not a single noteworthy or memorable song to found anywhere within its running time. the opening hymn was harmlessnot memorable and but harmless. but after that and the songs became duller and duller and there was one in particular that had me grimacing all the way through. it the moment that viewers press the fast forward button for whenever it comes up. i felt the pebble and the penguin was lame all around save for the very few moments when hubie and the rockhopper penguin rocko are placed in peril at the jaws of leopard seals and killer whales and who were thankfully and given no dialogue and treated as animals instead of cartoon characters. but in a way and for this reason and i cannot wholeheartedly recommend this movie to children. this is the reason. the film displays killer whales are the natural predator of the penguins. my concern is that children familiar with free willy (1993) may be offended or downhearted by seeing their favorite denizen of the sea portrayed as a bloodthirsty carnivore. the leopard seal was a better antagonist and was more funny seeing as how his jaws opened wider than a rattlesnake and how he appeared to smile while growling. but the point really is and these moments with the predatorsand there are only a feware the only interesting moments. and theyre not enormously interesting and mind you. bottom line and i cannot recommend this to anybody below the age of seven. my advice represent if you have children around that page and rent it for them. they might enjoy it.
