The Pebble and the Penguin
A bashful bachelor penguin named Hubie, who's partial to a pretty female named Marina. Ancient penguin ritual dictates that males present a pebble to their intended, then mate for life. Hubie finds a spiffy stone, but before he can bestow it on Marina, dastardly rival Drake tosses him into the churning sea, and Hubie gets swept away.
Editor's Verdict
"This movie is about an Antarctic penguin's quest to win a mate by presenting a stone, which is a ritual specific to the movie's setting, not Christmas. None of the required Christmas elements (setting, plot centrality, themes, iconography) are present."
