Scamper is a little penguin who loves wandering around the Artic where he lives with his parents. Unfortunately his little adventures tend to get he, and his friend Snowflake into trouble, especially when he disobeys his father and goes exploring with seagulls who want to eat him flying above, and men and dogs on the ground with them. One day the adventure goes too far and they float out to sea, only to be caught by men who want to sell them to the zoo. Scamper, Snowflake and their new friend, a macaroni penguin named Louie, must escape and get back to their families to warn them.

When I was a little girl I adored this film, I thought it was ever so cute. It was also then when I had a love for penguins, growing up on Pingu and the Don Bluth film Pebble and the Penguin helped that. Now I am 17, and I still think Scamper the Penguin is a very cute movie for kids. It may start off slowly, but you are hooked later on. The animation is not that bad, as long as you're not expecting Disney standard animation you'll be fine. The Antarctic backgrounds are nice to look at, and the colours are not too dull. The music is also lovely, the theme tune was one I used to sing all the time around the house. The story is sweet, same with the characters especially Scamper and Snowflake both are so cute and Louie is very funny. Scamper the Penguin also teaches some great morals such as humans are actually good and giving back things that don't belong to you. These are morals that adults can teach their children. The seagull attacks kind of scared me when I was little, but now I am alright with them. There are parts when you laugh and others when you cry. All in all, a cute kids movie that ticks all the right boxes. 10/10 Bethany Cox
Just look at me! Hehehehe, My mom raised her four children on this show! Jackie lives in Birmingham as an office assistant, Jamie's in Florida (Happy as a clam), Marco lives in Kentucky with his girlfriend and her two kids (they're getting' hitched in July), and I ditched America for the islands! And ta think we all came from Boston! We ALL watched this movie. It taught us everything we'd ever need to know about life: Love, bad situations, friendship, and how to escape being sent to a zoo by angry Russians! Where would the world be without Scamper and Snowflake?!For it's time and genre, I think they did an awesome job, in all. The songs are so cute!I love it, love it, love it!My heart was racing when they eggs were getting stolen, too.
This movie is one of the best! my children have grown up watching it.... and even as an adult i find time with a few friends to watch it with......... although it is wonderful it become quite a comedy when you imagine the characters as acting like people you know... we now call one of my friends Snowflake because of this oh so wonderful movie. I think personally that this movie is even greater then those Disney movies. For it contains almost no violence nor any sexual references. The best part is if you look hard enough at the movie you can pick out some pretty humorous parts. Not so much what they say, just the way the cartoon itself has been drawn. But i can't imagine going at least two weeks without watching this movie once.
I used to watch Scamper when I was little and it was one of my favorite tapes. It has sweet characters and a nice story for children to enjoy. It's very entertaining and fun! Rent it for your kids if you have the chance!
