Favorite Penguin Movie would be a simpler title.

urbanemovies,

I agree with Peter that the simpler shorter title, "Favorite Penguin Movie", would work better.

I really like the idea of the poll, but penguins or Oswald Cobblepot were nowhere to be seen in Batman (1989), although they indeed appear in Batman: The Moive (1966) and Batman Returns (1992). Penguin was, however, a major character in The Batman vs. Dracula (2005) which might fit as well, if Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003) is there. And 60's version also appeared in theatrically released features Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders (2016) and Batman vs. Two-Face (2017)

Also, I think Adventures of Lolo the Penguin, a 1986 Soviet-Japanese co-production could fit nicely there!

urbanemovies,

Would you please address Nikolay Yeriomin concerns?

Adventures of Lolo the Penguin was re-titled for US market and is included as Scamper the Penguin (1986) Scamper (American version) aka Adventures of Lolo the Penguin (English) and Priklyucheniya pingvinenka Lolo (Russian). I added a note for clarification for those who know it by another title.

I don't know what I was thinking, I blindly included Batman BASED on a penguin list, but the Joker was the featured criminal in that movie with The Penguin appearing in the sequel. I replaced it The Batman vs. Dracula (2005) to have four well seen Batman's The Penguin titles listed as options. Thanks, nice catch.

I really like this poll, and yay for penguins! Lol.

The intro is very good, as well as the list: may I suggest just one small edit? ('Just a comma between "year" and "making.")

...and others are set to debut over the next year, making 2018 truly the Year of the Penguin.

@urbanemovies​ BTW, there is also an International/World Penguin Day, celebrated on April, 25th. 

I know, because I did several webisode specials on the subject. I believe fewer of them are on IMDb as of now, but at some point I'll manage to add them.
