The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin is a film that was released by Enoki Films, and re-released by Just for Kids and Feature Films for Families. It is sourced from a film from 1986–1987 (it was originally released as a three-part serial) The Adventures of Small Penguin Lolo (original title). The film was co-production between Japan and Soviet Union. It is an animated feature film about the early life of an Adélie Penguin!
The film is targeted at a very young audience, although the movie is narrated like a documentary about the life of the penguins during the spring and summer seasons in the Antarctic!
Trivia:
This film was dubbed into English, with the English script written by Nikolai Kurnakov of Film Export Studios and Sovexportfilm in 1987. A release in Australia is called "The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin", and is an English dub of the film as originally released. This version was distributed by Force Entertainment (now called Beyond Home Entertainment).
