Watched online, ok print.

5 songs in the Soundtracks (plus reprise, alt version), all Music by Barry Manilow, Lyrics by Bruce Sussman. 

The story is good. I don't love the character visuals, nor the fact that it's the boy penguin who goes on the adventure, with the girl (hourglass figure) who's waiting for his return.

Am I just getting used to kiddie toons, or are they getting better?
