Description:
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.

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
On the DVD
There are two new animated sequences, which aren't incorporated into the film. One's a half-minute hackysack-themed bit, but the other is a good-looking, two-minute scene featuring the late Steve Irwin as an albatross, who, with Mumble, encounters a blue whale. 'Dance Like a Penguin: Stomp to the Beat' is hosted by Savion Glover, whose dancing was motion-captured for the film, but other than a couple basic tips, it's pretty much a demonstration rather than a lesson. In addition to the two music videos (Gia's 'Hit Me Up' and Prince's 'The Song of the Heart'), 'I Love to Singa' is an appropriately matched 1936 Merrie Melodies cartoon in which a young owl ruffles feathers by wanting to sing jazz for his classical-music-loving family. --David Horiuchi

Rating: - CAN YOU FEEL IT?
This movie was amazing! I am in awe over an animated film that made me FEEL the music with every song that was sung and every step that was tapped. I could see Savion Glover in every dance move Mumble made. That was amazing! The music mix was outstanding (the youngsters with their "Heart Songs" and the elders with their ancient chants). On top of all of that, I loved the messages (old school vs. new approaches, accepting people for who they are and what they have to offer, save our environment ... Read More

I'm a enviromental lobbyist for ALL the nay sayer adults, Prior to this film, Few were even concern about the enviroment and most still aren't. There are films out there to enrich & educate our youth, we don't rent or purchase them. We vacation in other countries commenting on their beauty then come home & we throw food, cigarettes, dirty diapers,soda can's, bottes, paper everything out car door windows, to lazy to walk store carts back to the stores or to a cart storage area but we can say ...

Rating:  - Entertaining: But Note the Political Subtext
HAPPY FEET is indeed the animated tale of a dancing penguin who has no choice but to dance. His name is Mumbles (voice of Elijah Wood) and he is meant to be seen as someone special and different from others of his tribe. Mumbles is simply bursting with a never-ending supply of optimism, faith, and a Jimmy Stewart-ish belief that hard work and honesty can solve all the world's ills. In this case, the very survival of his world of penguins at the South Pole is threatened when their food supply is inexplicably ... Read More
