The Pebble and the Penguin is a 1995 American-Irish animated musical

comedy-drama adventure film produced and directed by Don Bluth and

Gary Goldman, starring the voices of Martin Short and Jim Belushi, and

based on the true life mating rituals of the Adélie penguins in

Antarctica. It centers around a timid, stuttering penguin named Hubie

who tries to impress a beautiful penguin named Marina by giving her a

pebble that fell from the sky and keep her from the clutches of an

evil penguin named Drake who wants Marina for himself.Towards the end

of production, MGM made giant changes for the movie, which caused Don

Bluth and Gary Goldman to leave their film and demand to have their

names taken off the film, the two would start working on a new

animation studio in Phoenix, Arizona.The film was released to theaters

by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on April 12, 1995, where it did somewhat better

at the box office than Bluth's previous film A Troll in Central Park,

but still failed to recoup its budget, and it received mostly negative

reviews, mostly in regards to the weaker animation compared to Don

Bluth's previous movies but has since gained a cult following. This is

the last film to be produced by Sullivan Bluth Studios before the

studio went bankrupt.In Antarctica, there is a tradition done by the

Adelie Penguins where during the mating season, the male birds gather

on the beaches to find a pebble to use as a mating ritual, and during

the night of the full moon mating ceremony, the males propose to the

female they love by presenting their pebble to them, and if they

accept it, they become a married couple.
