The Penguin and Me (2005)

The Penguin and Me (Pingviini ja jäljitelmä in Finland and 펭귄과 나 in South Korea) is a 2006 Finnish/Singaporean-American animated drama film. It was widely criticized for borrowing heavily from the children's book such as Penguin and Me by Angela Muss (and at one landmark, a reference to Batman and Mr. Freeze: SubZero, The Karate Kid, The Emperor's Secret, Rio, and Curious George), and despite the talented actors and comedians involved in the voiceover work, was a box-office bomb. Despite being produced in Rough Draft Korea, the movie did receive a theatrical release in the United States, where it was released directly on VHS and DVD on December 25, 2005.

The film starring the voices of Patrick Warburton, Rosario Dawson, Felix Kimura, Nick Frost, Dan Castellaneta, Elizabeth Banks, Albert Brooks, David Hasselhoff, David Bowie, Scarlett Johansson, Rob Schneider, Benedict Cumberbatch, Xzibit, will.i.am, Christopher Sieber, Tom Arnold, Robin Shou, and Ellen DeGeneres. It was a tribute to Isao Takahata, who died on April 5, 2018. A high definition directing the animated film was released on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download on May 27, 2014, in North America and June 3, 2014, in Finland. The digital version of the animated film is now available on YouTube as of January 14, 2014.
