The rest will give you a chance to go to the bathroom. The only nice one is "Now and Forever" at the very beginning. Don't expect much for great songs either. Chilly Willy is more accurate to looking like a real penguin than any penguins here. And somehow the penguins in this movie just didn't look 'penguiny'. I think he left this movie before it was finished, and who could blame him? There's a lot of odd coloring here, and the animation can vary from good to unbearable.
But I wouldn't entirely blame Don Bluth for this.
One of the most glaring things about this movie is the animation. Hubie and Marina are okay, but Rocko's the one who steals the show. Tim Curry did voice him beautifully, though, so I've got to give that fact some credit. In order to have a really good villain, he/she has to be somewhat likeable as well as sinister. Then there's Drake, the most annoying villain.
This could have been pretty good, but you can tell that they really rushed it. As you may know, a shy penguin named Hubie is hell-bent on getting this strange green pebble to his lovebird, Marina. Anyhow, 'The Pebble and the Penguin' is a bit of a mess. 'Rock-A-Doodle' without question is the worst of Don Bluth's movies (though I haven't seen it in years, I remember it being hideous), and although I haven't seen 'Thumbelina' all the way through, I know that it's worse than 'Pebble and the Penguin' too (the few minutes I saw of 'Thumbelina' were just too painful). Let's face it, a lot of the reviews that 'The Pebble and the Penguin' has gotten here at IMDB are right that this movie's pretty bad, but trust me, there's worse ones than this.
