Artistic License – Biology: The male penguins have noticeable bulges between their legs, and Marcus likes to boast about his large penis. Actual male penguins don't have penises; all penguins regardless of sex have a single cloaca, used for urination, defecation, and reproduction.

Left the Background Music On: Marcus acknowledges the whistling marching music that was playing earlier in the movie as "philharmonic bullshit" and tells the "home penguin" to change it. The music changes to a song with a soft rock sound and while Marcus seems to like the song, he can't walk to it. The music then changes to a rap song and Marcus jams to it immediately.

When Jimmy argues with the narrator, the latter says, “you can't handle the truth, Ruth!� The second time we see the global warming penguin, he name drops An Inconvenient Truth. Marcus name drops Brokeback Mountain. A walrus asks Carl and Jimmy is they know The Da Vinci Code. Carl name drops Eyes Wide Shut. When Juan Sanchez makes it to the top of the mountain, he says, “I'm the king of the world!� The third and final time we see the global warming penguin, he's near a demolished Statue of Liberty.
