What if Don Bluth moved to MGM/The Pebble and the Penguin

The Pebble and the Penguin is a 1995 American-Irish animated musical adventure comedy-drama film produced by MGM/UA Animation. It is produced by Russell Boland and James Butterworth, directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman (but uncredited due to Goldman leaing MGM), and starring the voices of Martin Short, Annie Golden, Jim Belushi and Tim Curry.

Based on the true life mating rituals of the Adélie penguins in Antarctica, the film centers around a timid, stuttering penguin named Hubie who tries to impress a beautiful penguin named Marina by giving her a pebble that fell from the sky, but is thrown out by a evil musuclar penguin named Drake who also wants to marry Marina. So Hubie, alongside with the help of an rockhopper penguin named Rocko, must to travel back to Antarctica to reclaim Marina from Drake.

The film was released to theaters by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on April 12, 1995. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, but was a box office hit on both theatrical and home video, which became one of the biggest-selling VHS releases ever in the late 1990s-early 2000s.
