Editorial Review: For anyone who thought the Oscar-winning documentary March of the Penguins was the most marvelous cinematic moment for these nomads of the south, you haven't seen nothing yet. Happy Feet is an animated wonder about a penguin named Mumble who can't sing, but can dance up a storm. George Miller, the driving force behind the Babe (and Mad Max) movies, takes another creative step in family entertainment with this big, beautiful, music-fueled film that will have kids and their parents dancing in the streets. From his first moment alive, Mumble (voiced Elijah Woods) feels the beat and can't stop dancing. Unfortunately, emperor penguins are all about finding their own heart song, and the dancing youngster--as cute as he is--is a misfit. Luckily, he bumps into little blue penguins and a Spanish-infused group (led by Robin Williams) and begins a series of adventures. Miller has an exceptional variety of entertainment: Busby Berkley musical numbers, amusement-park thrills, exciting chase sequences (seals and orca lovers might like think otherwise), and even an environmental message that doesn't weigh you down. Best of all, you don't know where the movie is going in the last act, a rare occurrence these days in family entertainment. A fusion of rock songs, mashed-up and otherwise, are featured; this movie is as much a musical as a comedy. Mumble's solo dance to a new version of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" by Fantasia, Patti, and Yolanda may be the most joyful moment on camera in 2006. --Doug Thomas More Happy Feet  Other DVDs and products |  Combo HD/DVD |  More Penguin DVDs |
In the great nation of Emperor Penguins deep in Antarctica you're nobody unless you can sing - which is unfortunate for Mumble (ELIJAH WOOD) who is the worst singer in the world. He is born dancing to his own tune...tap dancing. As fate would have it his one friend Gloria (BRITTANY MURPHY) happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch but she struggles with his strange "hippity- hoppity" ways. Away from home for the first time Mumble meets a posse of decidedly un-Emperor-like penguins - the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramon (ROBIN WILLIAMS) the Adelies instantly embrace Mumble's cool dance moves and invite him to party with them. In Adelie Land Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru (also voiced by ROBIN WILLIAMS) a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life's questions for the price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the Amigos Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and after some epic encounters proves that by being true to yourself you can make all the difference in the world.Running Time: 109 min.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 085391140979 Manufacturer No: 114097

Rating: - Everything Fantastic!
Just a short review this time. Animation, sound, music & story just all come together. Had to watch it a second time within a few hours of the first viewing to really make sure it was as good as I thought it was the first time. This a.m. the smallest members of the family were over and gave it to them, so am now ordering my second copy for myself which I will hide away for just Dan & me to enjoy. The kids were going right home to watch it, so can't wait to hear what they think of it. ... Read More
Rating: - Happy Feet
The DVD was in good condition. This is an up lifting DVD. Highly recommend it.
Rating: - Totally misleading
I absolutely hated this movie because of blatant environmental message. I actually agree with the message they're trying to give, but they've done it completely wrong. I felt like they tricked me into watching it. The movie was advertised as a fun kids movie. Read the description, watch the trailer, and you'll expect a normal, fun movie. There's no hint that the entire movie is about how humans are destroying the environment. If I wanted to see that I'd watch a documentary.

Rating: - It's a CARTOON - SUSPEND reality a bit, people..
Ok, OI agree, there are some parts of Happy Feet that are not, well, HAPPY... BUT - THIS IS A CARTOON PEOPLE!! I THINK we all know that penguins can NOT tap dance, nor do they speak like we do (WHY do you think they show Mumble SPEAKING to the humans from the tank (right after he's caught) so WE at HOME can understand him, but CLARIFY it to show how he actually souds to the humans in the movie? There ARE some inconsistancies & some vague (NOT offensive!)adult humor moments (ie - the rewording of Prince's ... Read More
Rating: - Very entertaining
Very entertaining movie. Come on people, it's just an animated movie, stop reading all kinds of political agenda into it. Watch it for the entertainment value alone.
