Happy Feet (DVD) ... Home Video / Features of the DVD: PAL / 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. Here's 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 by Elijah Woods) feels the beat and can't stop dancing. Unfortunatly, emperor penguins are all about finding their own heart song, and dancing youngster--as cute as he is--is a misfit. Luckily, he bumps into little blue penguins, 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

 ... Memphis is upset when he finds his is not hatching. Finally he starts to hatch. When Mumble hatches he has a funny walk and looks alot different to the other baby penguins. Memphis is disheartened and when Norma and the other females return he looks a little embarrased. He does not tell Norma at first that he dropped the egg. Mumble starts penguin school where they learn to sing so when they are older they can attract a mate, but he can only squark. However he has good rhythmn with his feet but the other penguins ...more

I remember seeing adverts for this all over the television last Christmas and I really wanted to see it, but having a young baby and a partner who had no interest in seeing it, I sadly never made it to the cinema. So when I was offered a free DVD Rental trial, I popped it on my list, and sat on my own Wednesday afternoon while Harry was asleep, and I watched the whole thing! So here is my review of Happy Feet, a movie which I must say left me feeling very happy! Happy Feet is a children's film, due to the nature of it, fun little penguins who can talk, sing and dance, none of which a real penguin can of course do! Happy Feet is a computer animated film, using ...  Read the complete review

The plot ------------- Set in an Antarctic, the film establishes that every penguin must sing a unique song that they call a heart song to attract a soul mate. This is based in fact, since emperor couples court each other and recognize one another by their unique calls. One particular female, Norma Jean, sings her Heart song, the song called kiss, whereupon the male Memphis sings Heartbreak Hotel Norma Jean chooses him as her mate. They couple and Norma Jean lays an egg. The egg is left in Memphis's care while Norma Jean and the other females leave to fish for several weeks. Memphis drops the egg, briefly exposing it to the freezing cold, and the egg ...  Read the complete review

What a great fiml, had me up on my feet dancing. My son who is only 2 joined in so I didn't look like a total idiot dancing about the living room. Animiations are fantastic and a great teaching for kids. All my friends and family members have never said a bad word against it, just the right type of present for the christmas season. A film I will have out again and again, maybe not dancing next time though! ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Soul on Ice! (1731 words)

Rating:

One young penguin (aptly) named Mumble, can't sing like all the rest of the Emperor Penguins. But he can dance - which is decidedly non-penguin-like behaviour. His dancing is blamed for their "gods" apparent anger, which the elders think is the cause of the reduction in their fish supply. His talent is so frowned upon that he has to go into exile, but while away he discovers that not only can his dancing replace singing, but also something else, something that might redeem him in the eyes of his fellow Emperors. This is the story of "Happy Feet" and here's what I thought of it. The story line of this movie is actually pretty good - as ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Happy Feet (DVD): No mumbling in these songs (517 words)

On first glance, this animated film appears to be definitely one more for children than for adults. That may sound obvious but many animated films often include dialogue that is specifically aimed at a more grown-up audience. However, there is little of that dialogue in this film and when you add in the cute fluffy penguins, you have something that is obviously trying to appeal to the younger watcher. However, grown-ups are certainly not forgotten and this is quite a thoughtful film that will also appeal to many adults. When you add in the dancing and the music then I can understand why it is a favourite of many people of all ages. The plot is ...  Read the complete review
