“…have no fear…the pace is quicker, the jokes comes faster, and the laughs follow right behind. Big Idea is on the right track with Penguins!” — Past The Popcorn, Gospelcom.net
“The journeys…are funny, and the episodes are unusually well done. The mandatory adult-appeal humor rarely sails over kids’ heads, making this the rare show for very young viewers that can be enjoyed by parents and other grown-up caregivers as well.” — Common Sense Media
