Miss the nostalgia and magic of an outdoor movie? Take a journey down memory lane with family and friends at Jurong Bird Park on 27 February and be amongst the first island-wide to catch this film. Debuting in Singapore, Jurong Bird Park will be screening Yona Yona Penguin at the Pools Amphitheatre for a special one-evening only preview.

Directed by Japanese animator Rintaro, director of Metropolis, Yona Yona Penguin is a Japanese animated movie with English subtitles about the amazing adventures of Coco, a small girl with a penguin coat, as she journeys through a world of fantasy and magic to save her friends from the Emperor of the Dark. Join her and her friends in this heart-warming tale where they discover friendship and courage for the first time in their lives. Having been represented at various film festivals in Venice, Spain, Tokyo and Bangkok, this is a movie that both the young and old will enjoy!

From 6.30pm onwards, guests watching Yona Yona Penguin will be able to get up close to a colourful array of feathered friends from the Bird Park as they thrill visitors with their antics, and learn more about them and their diet from their keepers, who will bring them out for a special evening.

While here, be sure to visit some endearing tuxedoed friends at Penguin Expedition. Occupying 1,630 square metres, Penguin Expedition is home to five species of penguins, namely the Humboldt, the Rockhopper, the Macaroni, the Fairy and the majestic King Penguin. A 30-metre long viewing gallery provides ample opportunities for a panoramic view of these fascinating birds as they ‘fly’ underwater.
