Mother Penguin: [singing] Curiosity killed the cat. / Curiosity did just that. / The little cats had nine lives it's true, / But only one life was given to you. / So it isn't so wise to snoop, / Or you'll finish up in the soup. / You better just stop right where you're at. / Wopple-up-gup, remember that! / Curiosity killed the cat!

Cute and amusing at times, but nothing special.

This is a short that looks at the perils of being overly curious. Several penguins, even after stern warning, get themselves into a predicament, with colorful (if somewhat predictable) results. While this has some nice sight gags and is visually nice to look at, it really an average, rather run-of-the-mill cartoon. Nice to watch, but ultimately quite forgettable. Worth watching for all that. Recommended, in a lukewarm sort of way.
