The space is deliberately left to the audience

Shooting documentaries about people or events generally requires a clear standpoint. Therefore, the information that the audience receives from the documentary is often just a discussion from a single point of view, rather than the entire facts. Regarding this point, we cannot just blame the producer, because this is the limitation of the documentary film itself. The value of "Little Penguin's Great March" lies in the fact that the producer focuses on the point of view of nature and abandons the very self-thinking way of ordinary documentary films. It is not a matter of course to be able to shoot nature from the perspective of nature. Documentaries about nature can easily fall into a predicament of “it is all about humans in the end”, and become talk about environmental protection and the impact of natural disasters on people. The "Little Penguin Great March" is purely about penguins and Antarctica.
Although the film adds fictitious dialogue to the penguins, it makes them appear to have human emotions, just to make it easier for the audience to feel the life of the penguins.

The space is deliberately left to the audience, and this is the most moving part of the "Little Penguin Long March".

    One of the foundations of a good film is photography, especially animal documentaries. Reveal the unknown penguin diary. How do their communities survive in polar climates? Being a penguin has penguin instincts. Too much narration but the music is beautiful.

    Narrator: [narrating voice over] There are few places hard to get to in this world. But there aren't any where it's harder to live.

    Narrator: [narrating voice over] And they will march just as they have done for centuries, ever since the emperor penguin decided to stay, to live and love in the harshest place on Earth.
