  • that toucan was like, "what."

  • Simon = Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!­!!!!

  • I showed this to my stupid friend...she got really excited and believed it for months

  • Auntie Beeb does it again! Great stuff....not quite the Swiss Spag Harvest but certainly honorable mention!

  • if this was true it would have been so cool : )

  • what??u mean penguins cant actually fly??? oh..that's just cruel..

  • they can fly!!!

  • @ilCepu no u idiot they used special effects see look at the title *april fools*

  • @JBFAN34565 wow, you're a genious... it was ironic

  • thats was believable until they said that they went to some tropical island to bask in the sun.

  • @chibichlo

    Actually, it was "Rain forests of South America" not "tropical island" but same difference...

  • only if they could do that! :D

  • Pause the film, start it again and then press F13. ;)

  • @cwaj400 That did noting (yes I have a F13 on my pc)

  • i saw penguins fly in madagascar movie!!!

  • amazing!

  • Thumbs up if you thought it was real at first :P

  • Terry Jones; perfect man for the job. :-)

  • that tropical part was too much but hey its still the best april fools ive ever seen

  • I KNEW IT!!!

  • Here they are, the descendants of Hubie and Marina!

  • David Attenborough was "unavailable".

  • faith, trust, and pixie dust.

  • Haha, nice try but that won't fool me.

  • Take that, evolution! >:D

  • they must have happy thoughts!

  • Sooooooooo funny! I got a few of my friends XD

  • No wonder these Briton bastards make Harry Potter movies!

  • Very Good, but the BBC Spaghetti harvest from 1957 is better,

  • Quick someone call Opus, tell him there is still hope! ;)

  • @schizoidboy lol

  • the ad commercial was about penguins XD

  • I'm just happy that cows don't fly

  • @Lynnx7768 why not imagine the WINGS! HAHA

  • lol

  • What, so penguins can actually fly??

  • I suppose more people might have fallen for it, until the Penguins started landing in the tropics. ;) My goodness, they did a good job with the footage.

  • I suppose more people might have fallen for it, until the Penguins started landing in the tropics. ;)

  • seeing this again makes me wonder how on earth i fell for it :D

  • The first giveaway was having Terry Jones do the presenting!!! (Palin is King!)

  • Damn, is this real? and wtf is april fool? is that the breed of penguin?

  • @AngloDaxon Are you for real?

  • @123wickedsweet APRIL FOOL! :L

  • should've got attenborough to do it

  • Japanese belive easy. ha-ha.

  • Pretty cool but really fake! lol

  • that's pretty epic, but only 1 video?

  • Why does that look like the LG U+ Commerccial?

  • looks as fake as a sitcom commercial...hell the penguins looked like they were from happy feet

  • The people exclaiming that this video was fake are completely dense haha it's a April fools joke of course it's fake, there's no need to say that it is

  • ugh so fake

  • FAKE AND GAY

  • fake at the lake

  • guardd your children... the penguins are invading...

  • COOOOOOOOOL. and fake. :)

  • CGI is still so fake looking.

  • Hahaha! Oh that's just brilliant. The animation is amazingly well done, though. Makes you wonder why almost nobody pulls it off in documentaries or movies with extinct animals, yet for an April's Fool joke we get to see almost lifelike animation of penguins in flight.

    Best animal animation since Jurassic Park (1993).

  • so, what will BBC do next april fool ? lol

  • the ole' pasta hoax is much better than this one

  • lol

  • Better than the spagetti harvest

  • looks soo fake (and gay)

  • If they wouldn't stretch it to the tropical sun thing, it would be nearly believable. Well animated after all.

  • Chuck Norris' calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd; no one fools Chuck Norris.

  • @MOODYSCOOBY

    but only the most interesting man in the world can fool chuck norris.

  • that was amazing

  • SO FREAKING LOL

  • My nan rung us up and told us penguins could flya nd were liek tis a joke lol

  • @ananasdt7 Yeah, but then people with know, "Oh, wait it's april 1." This doesn't remind you of that immediatly

  • Brazil forever

  • it was convincing until they said they migrate

  • they should have got david attenborough to present :)

  • hahah its is awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • my mom fell for this hook line and sinker when she first saw

  • Good thing they don't really fly, can you imagine the size mess they would on your cars windshield.

  • pics or it didn't happen

  • i can't believe some idiots believed this crap! ha, best april fool eva, well done BBC

  • Now that I see this, penguins should stay on the ground. I would freak out if I saw penguins in the sky.

  • there goes my deposit on the ice skates...

  • brilliant april fool shamelessly used to plug a poorly thought through online service

  • does anyone know the title of the background music?

  • That is awesome..

    Watch the making of this .. took bare time.

    Definately worth it, incredible animation :O

    xx.

  • this is a GOOD example...very good example...

    Imagine if BBC actually made a whole feature length documentry about this... People would believe penguins can fly...ppl will belive it all over the world...

    so now i'm doubting most documentries..what if they are fake

    (ofcourse they can't be... but what IF, "IF" they are...we are just following medias blindly)

  • LOL!

    fly my pretties! fly!

  • that's some serious animation

  • lolz that was HILARIOUS

  • Ooh Eem Gee!! You could see me flying! That's awesome, I'm glad i used my hair straightener that day ;)

  • love tohse penguins lol

  • ROFL LOL GO PENGUINS GO!

  • lol so funny

  • ROFL! WEEE GO PENGUINS GO!

  • I would have believed it, if they didn't do the whole tropical suns thing.

  • HAHAHAH!!!!

  • I reckon penguins can physically fly but they are just too laid-back.

  • I didn't believe that april fools, it was a good try though.

  • no u did believe in it.
