BIG FEELINGS · BIG ADVENTURES
My Penguin Friend.
A rescued penguin finds a home that an ocean cannot erase.
Brazilian fisherman João has withdrawn from others after a family tragedy. When he finds an oil-covered penguin, he nurses the bird back to health and names him DinDim. The penguin eventually returns to the sea, but the friendship takes an unexpected turn when he begins finding his way back to João's coastal home.
Why it’s a little special
An animal friendship story with coastal scenery and a gentle focus on caring for another creature while living with grief.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
The US PG rating cites thematic content. The story includes the death of a child, a grieving family, ocean danger and an animal harmed by an oil spill. Separation and the fear that the penguin may not return can be upsetting for sensitive younger viewers.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
