On Monday, March 9, Anime Limited will release the feature film Penguin Highway as a Collector's Blu-ray/DVD and a standard Blu-ray and DVD. The Blu-ray/DVD edition will include a 300-page storyboard book; some of the storyboards will be in color. Anime Limited describes the film:

"Aoyama is a serious 10-year-old boy who records all of his day-to-day experiences in his notebook. One day in May, penguins inexplicably appear in his home town, despite being located a long way from the sea. When Aoyama sees “Big Sis” – a young woman who works at a dentist's office – drop a soft drink can which inexplicably turns into a penguin, he decides to investigate and resolve the mystery behind these strange events.
'Together with his classmates, Aoyama happens upon a strange phenomenon which is surely the key to this goings-on. Will their investigation bear fruit, and just how is “Big Sis” linked to these occurrences?"

Kana Kita (Byplayers' Jasmine) plays Aoyama, while Yū Aoi (Redline's Sonoshee McLaren, live-action Rurouni Kenshin's Megumi Takani) plays the woman.

Hiroyasu Ishida, who directed Colorado's "Hinata no Aoshigure" and "Fumiko's Confession" shorts, directed the film as his first feature-length directorial work. Typhoon Noruda director Yōjirō Arai designed the characters for the film. Makoto Ueda, who wrote and supervised the scripts for anime adaptations of Morimi's The Tatami Galaxy and Night is Short, Walk On Girl novels, returned to pen the script for this film. Umitarō Abe composed the music.
