While I haven't seen this movie, I thought I'd warn parents with children.
We have a friend that went to see this movie...and while I don't expect all G rated movies to be happy go lucky, it sounds like it could be a little to intense for small children.
This is a documentary, so you see up close the struggle of the penguins. You will see a penguin freeze to death. You will also see a penguin pecked to death. Chilren were wailing in the theater, and our friend could hear at least one child look to their parents asking "why, why won't someone make this stop?"
It sounds like an amazing story, but children will get attached to these wonderful animals and may be horrified to see the harsh reality of the events. Just a heads up, parts of the movie will not be cutesy, and you may have to console your children.
