Wonderful character development!

Ariella Broughton

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

'Happy Feet' is an innocent enough little movie containing everything you would expect from an animated family picture. Although it may be intended for family viewing, this is a kids' movie through and through and anybody over the age of 10 or 11 will probably struggle to get any pleasure out of it. Sure, there's lots going on, it's vibrant and colourful, there's lots of singing and dancing, but for the average adult there isn't much to enjoy.Watching films like this makes you appreciate some of the best animated family movies, the ones that contain something for everyone. The likes of 'Ratatouille' and 'The Incredibles' are good examples of movies that people of all ages can sit and enjoy. They have strong plots, memorable characters, and humour that doesn't just appeal to 5 year old. 'Happy Feet' lacks any of those things and soon becomes tedious for the average viewer.

Into the world of the Emperor Penguins, who find their soul mates through song, a penguin is born who cannot sing. But he can tap dance something fierce! Happy Feet is amazing and has an amazing cast of actors like Hugh Jackman and Robin Williams, lots of adventure and of course great singing and great messages about believing your dreams, achieving and sometimes being different? Isn't that bad. (A+)

In 2006, Warner Bros and Animal Logic teamed up to make a CGI motion capture animated feature film known as Happy Feet, a story about a tap dancing penguin named Mumble (voiced by Frodo Baggins - I mean Elijah Wood) who, after being born from an egg, has an ability to tap dance everywhere he goes and embarks on a quest to make peace with the humans who took their food while learning to accept himself as he really is.Happy Feet is still as good as I remembered it. However, before I can get to the good stuff, there is one problem I do have. And that is the environmentalist message. The story is supposed to be about acceptance, but the whole "humans stealing our food" concept did get really preachy and the whole movie could've been stronger without it. I'm not angry about it. It's just that they didn't do anything new with it. Just a nitpick. Everything else still holds up. The voice acting is top notch with great performances from Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving, and the late Robin Williams, who committed suicide in August 2014, stealing the show as both Ramon and Lovelace, two hilarious and entertaining characters since the Genie from Disney's Aladdin. The animation is gorgeous with a great scale on Antarctica and the penguins even though the human motion capture doesn't have the same level. The best part, however, is the musical numbers which consists of cover versions including the Boogie Wonderland sequence and with the help of John Powell's lush and beautiful musical score, it's still the most memorable scene. Overall, Happy Feet may not have anything groundbreaking to make it stand out from the likes of Pixar and DreamWorks, but with lush animation, endearing characters, and memorable musical cover songs, it still tap dances perfectly on it's 10th anniversary. Happy New Year, everybody! :)

Mumble (Elijah Wood) is an emperor penguin who's born a little late and a little odd. He can't sing which he needs to have a Heartsong to find his true love. All he can do is tap dancing. He is always the runt of the group and an outcast.The penguins are cute. The underdog story is universal. The thing is I didn't find all that much funny about this movie. It's definitely more cute than funny. The 'latino' Adélie penguins just doesn't strike me as funny. They are just talking fast for the sake of talking fast. As for the singing and dancing, it's a bit of fun but it isn't that compelling. This is probably a lot more for the kids than for the adults.
