Fun idea with the penguins! You also have a very complicated setup with the chess board and pieces.

In general, though your characters lack weight to them and are floaty throughout. I would suggest learning the simple "bouncing ball" exercise to start understanding the basics of animation. As well as the "flour sack" exercise to understand the spine and hips/root movement.

Lip sync is off and needs improvement. At times it's a bit ambiguous even with the simple beak mouth. It's the timing that's off.

Well done with the props.

She shot when the male penguin is looking confused is very nice detail
