south of the border, west of the sun.

I envy this penguin. I could kill myself, but there's no way I could made the process so damn adorable.

Truly, this penguin is all of us.

Penguin Shaman.

Embrace the other place, the place where no one goes.

Return to them in a different life, and tell them your secrets.

Simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious.

He's going to nail trees to the cliffside and then fall so he can fly.

What, no Lovecraft references?

I'd like to suggest that the bird has heard the call of the Old Ones, but then again.. depressing and adorable penguin death run. :/

"Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called by the Masai "Ngāje Ngāi," the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude."

I understand. We, of all species, should understand.
Godspeed, little penguin. Godspeed.

"Afterwards, the other penguins gathered and told me that they would kill the deranged penguin if I wanted them to. When I told my producer that I had turned down their offer, he shouted at me 'Warner, you fool!'"

"My time has come."

WERNER Herzog

Oh, that Herzog, always about the deranged loners who reject societal convention.

Find your dreams little buddy, don't let the naysayers bring you down.

This entire film is so goddamned amazing. My favorite part is where some dude describes being given a trial in Laos with a nine year old as a judge.

what you can't see from the long shots is that the penguin is dragging a little ship behind him.

see, I can make Werner Herzog jokes too!

Some day, one of those penguins will return to its colony. It will lead them to greatness.

I imagine there's a non-Pixar CGI film being planned around this. The penguin is voiced by Jack Black and he tap dances his way to his dreams.

In hidden valleys in antarctica, you can find mummified penguins 1,000-10,000 years old.

Why? Because it's there.

Devil's Mountain

And just sometimes a crazy individual like this ends up founding a whole new species.

The rest of the time, lonely death.

This is so sad, but the part where it just runs by them with its fins flapping is hilarious.

Penguin, the true lemmings of the North Pole. Or so Herzog would like you to believe. White Wilderness indeed!

I bet they just had a breakup conversation.

Nobody can set music to a scene like Herzog.

And Judge Penguin waddles off to the Cursed Earth with the Book of Law in his flipper.

His name will live forever in the Halls of Justice!

At 1.33-1.38 the dude pauses, looks at his friends going toward the food in the distance... then turns back toward his mission of solitary suicide by the elements.

Right on, little buddy.

Right on.

The penguin expert is so "fuck you I don't want to talk to you" that he's the funniest thing in this amazing movie.

This is one of the best things on this site.

Forrest Gumpion

impressive

I still can't get over the way he says "Mount'nins."

Follow your dreams little guy. Grab onto them and never let them go.

*salutes*

He seeks communion with the ancestors.

And I ran, I ran so far away.

I just gotta be meEEeEEe!

Hate to break up your existentialism party, but pick up the friggin penquin and bring him back.

Opus chose to take the fight to the shoggoths.

Nodens speed, little guy.

2014 still number one.

How did this go unrated

I wonder if this is some sort of evolutionary mechanism that survives because 1 time in a thousand it the crazy penguin discovers a new breeding ground or something.

Still good
