Oddball to the rescue!!

5 stars

30 Jun 2022

This movie is about a chicken farmer, his granddaughter and a crazy dog called Oddball. They live in a town where the best sight is the middle island, the home of fairy Penguins! But when extinction is just around the corner, Oddball is ready for whatever comes his way.

My favourite part is when Jack, a worker at the penguin sanctuary, gets tranquillised and starts to say the irrelevant stuff. I also liked that it was a live action move and was based on a true story. They used an actual town and never used C.G.I for the animals. They had dog trainers, penguin trainers and fox trainers just for the animals!

My favourite character was Puckett the penguin because he was a fairy penguin and they are the smallest penguins. He also found love and had a baby penguin which i found the most adorable thing in the world. I'm just in love with penguins and fairy penguins especially. My least favourite character is Bradley because even though he's a good guy, i got bad vibes from him and he wanted to take is girlfriend and her daughter to New York without the daughter's opinion.

It was based in New Zealand and has colours, since it was made in 2015. It's a family and adventure movie with good shots like close ups and shoulder level shots.

I would give this movie a 4/5 because it was kind of sad at times but it was still a great movie and i would recommend to all ages and to animal lovers
