20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will bring the 1995 Don Bluth film, The Pebble and the Penguin to Blu-ray on October 11th.
This MGM animated musical is based on the mating rituals of Adélie Penguins living in Antarctica. In the film, Hubie (voiced by Martin Short) fights for the heart of his true love Marina, while Drake (Tim Curry), a much larger and lustful male does whatever he can to push Hubie aside and take Marina for himself.
Upon its release back in 1995, The Pebble and the Penguin failed to attract both an audience and critical acclaim, thus keeping it from recouping its budget. Now it is often overlooked in favor of other Don Bluth and Gary Goldman productions, such as An American Tail and Anastasia.
The Blu-ray for The Pebble and the Penguin will feature DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. Special features will include:
No Stone Unturned: Making-of Featurette
Now and Forever: Music Featurette
Theatrical Trailer
Pre-orders for the animated film are now available on Amazon with a starting SRP of $19.99.
