Political Responses
Some conservative politicians have claimed the movie supports traditional family values and the value of having two stable parents. This position has been criticized by researchers who point out that penguin monogamy does not last more than a single season. The interpretation of the movie as an argument for traditional family values has also been denied by the filmmaker, Luc Jacquet. Both the filmmaker and critics have warned against the dangers of comparing animal behavior to human behavior. -
