Happy Feet

"Happy feet" does for animation what "March of the Penguins" did for live-action and documentaries. This is such a bewitching animated movie that offers fantastic script writing and striking direction by George Miller to deliver vigorous entertainment with laugh-out-loud funny moments that are so skillfully made, they are witty. The even film stresses inspiring messages about using your talents for the greater good, showing integrity, embracing your own uniqueness, and about protecting the environment from declining populations and habitat destruction. Although I do wish that they would improve on the animal facts, like the elephant seal's diet (elephant seals eat fish and squid), and what family is the orca a member of (orcas are dolphins). The execution of it's exuberant entertainment and it's compelling messages worked through dynamic storytelling; it went from a rich musical love story about being different to slowly twisting the plot into a compelling epic adventure that involves aliens (humans), all the way up to an uplifting latter. The animation is wonderful with vivid colors, eye-catching detail, and cute faces on the characters. The animation is also a dynamic visual feast with some gorgeous joyous visual art from the grandiose sense of scale, to the brilliant choreography of the dancing penguins, to the exhilarating action sequences that feel like an immersive roller coaster, and the motion capture on the humans provide the lively movements for the characters. Let's not forget the stunning backgrounds; they look so lifelike. The legendary all-star cast of actors are a superb choice with all of their exceptional voice acting alongside their powerhouse singing; Elijah Wood is emotionally involving as Mumble; he is a valiant and smart lad who has his way with his own hyperactive feet that really gets into the beat. Memphis (Hugh Jackman) is Mumble's father who has strong confidence like his son Mumble, but he also has a lot of somberness due to his son's uniqueness. Brittany Murphy was gorgeous as Gloria with so much passion to her voice delivery. Noah the elder (Hugo Weaving) is the main antagonist, and he is one heck of a big jerk who strongly forbids mumble for his dancing and mumble himself. Then, there's Robin Williams with his incredible voice range as he voices Ramon (one of the Adelie penguins), Lovelace (a rockhopper penguin), and he is the narrator himself with his "Lovelace" voice. The Amigos are a hilarious group of silly Adelie penguins. Boss Skua (Anthony LaPaglia) is a brute who is hungry for penguin chicks (in this case, Mumble as a chick). Roger Ross did a great job as the fierce and hungry leopard seal with a low-bass voice that sounds guttural. Heck, even Steve Irwin is part of the cast, and he plays one of the Southern elephant seals. The soundtrack is on par with the animation; The head-bopping soundtrack contains a colorful variety of music genres to fit the culture and emotion of the film, like Funk, Rock, R&B, Disco, and Latin American music (mostly from the Adelie penguins). And there is the invigorating score by John Powell. To conclude: with dazzling animation (along with the music), dynamic entertainment, and strong pleasing messages, Happy Feet is a compelling and enchanting animated treat that will satisfy and warm the hearts of the whole family (suitable for ages eight and up). 4.5/5 Highly Recommended!

Personaly I love to have Penguin bird ranch. Up north at the Atantical circle it seems there are life after the North of North snow makers than as we have Canada coming Central and to South America. The Atlantic Right & Left willlike to have plaes go increase the population of Penguns. Ineffect Florida State are with the interest of having Birds Fresh Eggs in a Triangula EquLateral 60 Containers. This was to have Ten Count commonwealth in a container, so as also possible for 15; 21; 28; 36 as can

But it recapitulates song, dance & story parts. Was bored to the point of wanting to leave but had companion and was attentive to her so she enjoyed the experience, not the film. Now they made HF-2 & its just as poor as this migraine maker!!
