Penguin Town on Netflix.

About a species of rare penguins who come ashore in South Africa every year to mate and end up interacting with the humans who live there. The most remarkable thing is it's largely told from the point of view of individual penguins, who all have names like "Mr. and Mrs. Culvert, Junior, Lord and Lady Courtyard." Lord and Lady Courtyard can be seen going through someone's house to get to the ocean, obviously with the cooperation of the humans (called giants) who live there. The narrator represents the thoughts of the penguins, often with a great deal of humor.

Utterly delightful. I watched it twice and still turn it on from time to time.
