It's the one where he cooks and eats a shoe and later does the dinner roll dance. <br /><br />It's very funny, and has lots of snow including a wonderful blizzard sequence that blows his cabin across the ice to the edge of a cliff while he's asleep. <br /><br />I usually show it to my 7th graders in conjunction with reading The Call of the Wild. They're surprised to find how much the laugh at such and old movie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-49479911926612395302010-02-16T01:29:36.634-05:002010-02-16T01:29:36.634-05:00march of the penguins--good one

It sugar-coated nature a little too much for me. I'm talking about the French version, though, which was the one we got over here. I'd like to see the one with the Morgan Freeman narration sometimes, as I hear it's much more neutral.
