Review of the movie "Penguin no Mondai": A moving journey to find the blue bird of happiness

Antarctica is a land of snow and ice, more than 10,000 km away from Japan. It is ruled by the Ice King, Hikawa Nicholson. Nicholson is trying to cover the whole world with ice, so he captures Victoria and tries to use her powers to freeze the Earth with her cold puns. Victoria, who has discovered his plan, escapes from Antarctica and ends up in Japan, where she meets Beckham by chance. And so the battle between Nicholson and Beckham begins. Can Beckham protect Victoria and the Earth?

The ice king "Nicholson" from the Antarctic has attacked "Kirikabu Town" where the penguin elementary school student Kinoshita Beckham lives! A serious and stupid battle between the king who is plotting to turn the world into an ice world and Beckham and his friends begins...!
