"== Symbolism in ""The Pebble and The Penguin"" == 

 If you ask me, this movie has a lot of symbolism in it.  The pebble is basically a symbol of divine love, which helps Hubie to become more confident in himself and stand up to the cruel and vicious Drake.  It should be noted that it's Hubie, who is meek and innocent, who receives the pebble initially, not Drake - in other words, nice guys finish first.  Drake tries to steal the pebble, but it doesn't work out so well for him.  Furthermore, Marina's name is symbolic - it is derived from ""marine"", which refers to the ocean.  Since the ocean is extremely important to a penguin, Marina is effectively a symbol of life itself.  There's more, but I'd have to actually watch the movie to pick it up - I've only listened to the songs on YouTube...  So, what do you think?    "
