3-2-1 Penguins! – Save The Planets! (Big Idea DVD)

The
makers of Veggie Tales have a new hit of sorts with the amusing, but only so
memorable 3-2-1 Penguins! It is child-friendly enough and harmless, but
just not that impressive, but here it is on DVD and this volume is Save The Planets!
The
characters are the kind with similar names, but not necessarily distinctive
personalities. You supposedly will know
the difference if you really invest your time in it, but life is too
short. However, some will find this
entertaining enough, so it may be good for them, but the rest of us can skip
it. The space angle is not as fun as Chicken Little, but we’ve seen
worse. You can do better, but it is
tolerable if the young ones like it.
The 1.33
X 1 image has dated CG animation and is softer more often than it should be,
even for the DVD format. The Dolby
Digital 2.0 Stereo is better but nothing special. Extras include DVD-ROM and snippet pieces for
children to enjoy, but are slight at best.
