Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
George Miller directed this between Mad Max films—he studied penguin documentaries for years and insisted on motion-captured tap dancing from real dancers, including Savion Glover.
The film's environmental message was so pointed that it sparked actual political debate in Australia, with some conservatives calling it 'propaganda'—for penguins.
