It is a parody of the French feature-length nature documentary March of the Penguins directed and co-written by Luc Jacquet. The film features Samuel L. Jackson as narrator, with the two main characters voiced by Saget and Lewis Black. Five of Saget's former Full House co-stars also lent their voices to the film.
