Syllogisms:
1) The animated movie, “Happy Feet,” promotes an environmental theme.
Any kid’s film that promotes an environmental message is going overboard.
Therefore, the animated film, “Happy Feet,” is going overboard with it’s environmental message.
2)Children who watch “Happy Feet,” love to watch the penguins dancing.
Children are caught up with the fantasy-like dancing penguins, and can’t really comprehend it’s environmental message.
Therefore, children who watch “Happy Feet” cannot comprehend it’s environmental message.
The animated film, “Happy Feet” preaches the environmental message that we should “Save the Penguins!” First of all, it is really tacky to promote such a message in a kid’s film, whose target audience will not even comprehend the gist of the message. Secondly, the message may be important but if it’s going to be portrayed in a kids film, it should be publicized as an environmental promoting movie. What about the parents who want to teach their children to think for themselves about such issues, “instead of having them indoctrinated by some Hollywood director?” There are many concerned parents who are not in favor of such movies, and if any environmental message is to be promoted, there should be some kind of warning ahead of time.

Interesting ideas, personally I haven't seen the movie, so I will take your word for it.
I like the syllogism #1. Very clear! But in your paragraph you said the movie is "tacky." I think I might choose another word in order to make it more professional. I would talk about how it "goes overboard." instead. Great job overall!!
