When a heartbroken fisherman finds a lost penguin covered in oil from a spill, he cleans him up and nurses him back to health. He has no idea of the depth and length of the bond that ensues when the bird travels thousands of miles to visit his human friend year after year. Inspired by the incredible true story from Brazil, this heartwarming family film has the visual impact of the best nature documentaries. Ten rescue penguins from Ubatuba, Brazil, took turns playing the role of Dindim in the film.
”My Penguin Friend is an utterly likable and disarming film. It’s clear that this is one instance where the words “inspired by a true story” are not just movie marketing hyperbole.” — Leonard Maltin, Leonardmaltin.com
“A must-see for those who love uplifting stories about redemption, perseverance and empathy.” — Courtney Howard, Variety
