It’s a glorious exploration of penguin life, as the group of innocents all chase the fish through the ocean currents, beneath the ice-packs and yawning chasms of water, in a highly choreographed ritualistic dance, which will bring a smile to any jaded viewer. Mumble and Gloria have an obvious affection for each other, and this is displayed with a simple fish-giving moment between the pair. Mumble, who slip-slides his way through the crowd and over the edge, is the first penguin of the group to do so, and once he appears unharmed, the rest of his “classmates” follow suit. They await the first brave soul to dive in, to show it’s safe, before plunging in themselves. Happy Feet is a film filled with some wonderful songs and images: particularly, the day of graduation for the young penguins, who stand upon the precipice of ice, staring down into the blue water of the ocean, hundreds of feet below. What, didn’t you bring the torch batteries? The Amigos are going along simply for the fun and excitement, and perhaps a bit to do with the fact they’ve got nothing better to do. With Lovelace and his Amigos, Mumble continues his journey towards the Aliens, Lovelace disbelieving of the young penguins hope, and wanting to see these Aliens with his own eyes. This is due to the plastic six-pack rings around his neck, which, it so happens, are slowly strangling him to death. Australia’s Next Top Model search goes polar.Īlong the way, Mumble befriends Lovelace, a small penguin with leadership aspirations voiced by a wonderful Robin Williams, who has set himself up as a guru-type character and self-proclaimed leader of his colony. Mumble, thinking he can reason with the Aliens, set’s off on his journey accompanied by the thrill-seeking Amigos, to the uncharted lands far north. The Aliens, who are actually Human Beings, have been fishing in the waters off the continental shelf of Antarctica, and the stocks are now running low for the natural inhabitants of the land.

He and his Amigos, a group of smaller penguins who all speak with Spanish accents (didn’t know Spain controlled any portion of Antarctica!) continue their journey to find the Aliens who are stealing all their fish. This walrus, this fur-seal and this zebra walk into a bar, right……

His love, Gloria, follows Mumble part of the way, imploring him to come back, to try fitting in, no matter his differences. His parents, voiced by Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, are desperate for Mumble to conform, to fit in, however, he cannot, and they despari him ever returning when he is forced to leave. Mumble, who cannot sing, but dances his way through life, is outcast by the powers that be in his group, and must fend for himself in the big wide world. He figured he’d lose more weight if he tried jogging…. When Mumble commits one sin too many, he is ostracized by his peers and elders, sending him out into the wide world and away from their colony. Mumble’s heart belongs to Gloria, a young female penguin whom is desired by all the local lads. Born without a heart-song, young Mumble is an outcast in his society, unable to find a mate, and without any prospects whatsoever. Whimsical, moral, fantastically made fable film in which a young penguin journeys across the ice of the Antarctic to discover his destiny. The animation is astonishingly good, and although the story wanders into claptrap territory, in the end it’s all smiles and cheers for the stumbling, bumbling black-n-white creatures from down south. What we think : Dazzling eco-friendly feel-gooder about penguins, features an all-star cast and some dynamite musical numbers.
