Latest Don Bluth animated saga is about a nerdy penguin who tries to win the penguiness of his dreams. A little soggy in the middle, but otherwise a fun family film. (R. Pitman)[DVD Review—Apr. 3, 2007—MGM, 2 discs, 74 min., G, $19.98—Making its second appearance on DVD, 1995's The Pebble and the Penguin (Family Fun Edition) features a solid transfer and Dolby Digital 5.0 surround sound. DVD extras on this double-disc set include the 10-minute “making-of” featurette “No Stone Unturned,” a “Now and Forever” music featurette (8 min.), five interactive games (including “Trivial Escape,” “Catch the Pebble,” and “A-maze-ing Race”), and trailers. Bottom line: a small extras package (especially for a two-disc set!) for a fun kid's flick.]
