Happy Feet Two Movie Review

Mumble, The Master of Tap, has a problem because his tiny son, Erik, is choreo-phobic. Reluctant to dance, Erik runs away and encounters The Mighty Sven -- a penguin who can fly! Mumble has no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model. But things get worse when the world is shaken by powerful forces. Erik learns of his father's "guts and grit" as Mumble brings together the penguin nations and all manner of fabulous creatures -- from tiny Krill to giant Elephant Seals -- to put things right.

I have enjoyed the first Happy Feet movie so much, and that got me so excited to watch Happy Feet Two. I was so ecstatic to receive then a premiere invite in IMAX 3D in MOA. Even before the movie started, during cocktails we were welcome by Mumble and Erik in person (mascot) and we even had pictures taken with them. I have enjoyed watching the movie so much. I like all the actors who voiced out the characters specially Robin Williams. I like the set of songs played and I also like their renditions. I have read some dire reviews about the movie; I don’t know what they are expecting. The voices are great, the visuals are the awesome and remarkable, it’s a must watch in 3D. I would probably have to agree on some people that says the story in Happy Feet Two is not as strong as the first Happy Feet. But you will still enjoy and tap your way thru the story. The animation is just amazing for me, the use of penguins is indeed so cute. The actors were great, I even enjoyed watching the voice cast featurette.

"Climate change is why we're doing this movie now," Miller says. "The desert we wanted to shoot in in Australia? It's covered in flowers." The first film, a 2006 surprise hit at $190 million, was initially to be shot in 3-D, Miller says. "But we simply ran out of time. This one is shot in 3-D, and the landscapes we could create are just spectacular."

The movie, starring the voices of Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Robin Williams and Elijah Wood as rug-cutter Mumble, centers on Mumble being a new father while still navigating the perilous ice world around him, which is melting frighteningly fast. Director George Miller wasn't looking to make back-to-back cartoons about the environmentally fragile residents of Antarctica. But Mother Nature can be a wicked executive producer, Miller has learned.

Swings and Grooves of Happy Feet Two

Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature, “Happy Feet”, was an unqualified global hit that appealed to critics and audiences of all ages last 2006. The delighted audiences tapped their toes and sung their hearts out along with the movie. It also fueled greater efforts for environmental and wildlife conservation and even entered the modern lexicon, with “Happy Feet” becoming a synonym for tap dancing, its star Mumble’s particular talent.

Director George Miller explains, “I often say that these stories are for the adult in the child and the child in the adult. I think one of the reasons why ‘Happy Feet’ resonated is that it had a kind of nourishment to it, with the time-honored ideas of being true to yourself, being brave and trying to treat the world and yourself with respect.”
