The Story of "The March of the Penguins"
This automata is a parody of the March of the Penguins, a popular documentary on Antarctic penguins. In this case the penguins, normally considered cute and sweet incredibly paternal, have decided to voice their opinion over a popular environmental issue, global warming. They march along resolutely without fanfare perhaps unaware that the public and media outlets are unaware of their protest, after all it is the Antarctic! One rogue individual has added his own voice to promote the eradication leopard seals, the penguins greatest predator. Instead of marching, a solitary penguin enjoys the quiet time in the ocean with an impromptu water vacation of his own although he dreams of visiting a water park one day.
