If Surf's Up hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: chicken

The same mix in both: whimsy, then wit

Playful and warm in the same breath

Common ground in both: penguin and anthropomorphism
The difference: Leans harder into adventure than Surf's Up does

One thread runs through both: penguin

Cozy animation in both cases

Common ground: sea

The same preoccupation in both: animals

Both keep coming back to the same thing: anthropomorphism

Comedy built on whimsy, twice over
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Witty family, and it commits to that

Both lean on play more than on animation
