Happy Feet


Happy Feet: Another computer animated movie about talking animals…..when will we get our fill? Our subjects this time are penguins who live up in the North Pole. The film supplies plenty of musical numbers, the idea in the movie is that the penguins sing songs to find their mates. The songs are everything from Elvis to Prince and really make the beginning of the film very entertaining. The star penguin of the movie – Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood) does not have a musical note in his body, instead he was blessed with dancing (or happy) feet. Because of this, he is labeled an outcast by the elder penguins. The rest of the story is weak and gets weaker as it moves along. The ending of the film tries it’s hardest to make a political message about the ecosystem. Because of the outstanding animation and the funny sidekicks (a staple in these kinds of movies), I give it a slight recommend.
