Disneynature’s latest film follows Steve, an Adélie penguin, who joins millions of fellow males in the icy Antarctic spring on a quest to build a suitable nest, find a life partner and start a family. None of it comes easily for him, especially considering he’s targeted by everything from killer whales to leopard seals, who threaten his happily ever after.
