guzzlers-baps 0 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Anyone know when we might get to see this in Japan? http://wip.warnerbros.com/marchofthepenguins/ I've always had a soft spot for penguins and this documentary looks just adorable & brilliant. Anyone seen it? Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Not seen it but a Japanese lady friend of mine adores it. Here for Japanese info: http://www.gaga.ne.jp/emperor-penguin/index2.html Seems it was in the theaters over summer. Good news, looks like the dvd is out on 16th Dec. http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN...3583207-3220346 Got that ordered as a present for said friend. Link to post Share on other sites

gamera 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I've watched a documentary TV program about penguins at the south pole. Dadguins and Momguins hold their baby at their stomach in turns. (Actually it's more like a parent hides its egg/baby below her/his body. I think there is a small room inbetween the ground and the body but it's enough for an egg or a babyguin ) But it's like for 2 months for dadguins and another 2 months for momguins to raise their eggs and babies. While the dadguins go to sea to get something to eat for 2 months, the momguins hold the eggs without eating anything. But when dadguins come back getting a lot fatter with 2months eating in the sea, babies are born in and momguins go to sea to eat something after a 2 months interval, the dadguins have to give digested food in their stomach to the babies when babies want for 2 months without eating anything, what a difficult position.

montoya 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Dadguins, Momguins.. pretty good Gamera! what is the Japanese equivalent? pengin-okachan? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hum maybe people would say penguin-mama. Shorter is easier and voted, I guess. Perhaps Penguin-okasan (okachan), Okasan(okachan)-penguin etc are also used though. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 NHK has shown a few really nice American/Brittish made animal documentaries recently. I wish they would keep showing those instead of the crap they turn out. Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 It's in French and Japanese. No English. If you want English, you'll need to buy it from overseas. Link to post Share on other sites
