Plot Outline: Into the world of the Emperor Penguins, who find their soul mates through song, a penguin is born who cannot sing. But he can tap dance something fierce! According to the Warner Brothers site it is actually due for release 8 December - just in time for Jamie's birthday! Maz. XX

Ask Cardiff Annie! LOL - Her house looks like a penguin colony. I even sponsored one last year for her birthday pressie and almost every little pressie I bought back from NZ for her was penguin orientated! She loves them. Mags xx

oooh Mags where did you do the sponsorship? Jamie will be feeding the penguins at Banham (sp) zoo in April, but would quite like to sponsor one too. Maz. XX

This one's in Chile or the Falklands or something - you get loads of stuff by email - photos and reports of what they are doing - and you get to name them. Shall I see if I can find the link? Mags xx

Aaaaw bless him! I'll see if I can find it and mail it to you. It's a conservation site and I think they pitch their 'speil' according to the age of the person sponsoring or having one sponsored for them. (Annie's was in big letters in words of no more than two syllables (she'll kill me for that! lol)) It's a great way of trying to help what they do. Will get back to you. Mags xx
