Title: Better without the French (sorry--)
Review: From what I've read on-line in many places, the original French version was not actually scripted as an actual documentary with a 3rd-person narrator. I'm not a fan of excessive anthropomorphizing the animal kingdom because that's too Disney and a bit dangerous, but having the penguins themselves speaking in French would have been incredibly cheesy, even in this American land of cheese (the Taiwan and Japanese versions also have dubs like this). As such, I'm extremely glad the American version doesn't have this voice dubbing. Freeman's narration is great. Ultimately, however... who wouldn't want to hug a penguin? (Don't--they'll probably peck your eyes out.)
Is the review positive or negative?
