Happy Feet

Pros: Lots of funny and cute moments, a few subtler jokes for adults watching it
Cons: A little too long, could have been funnier

Happy Feet is a rare thing – an animated musical. It features a colony of penguins, each one of whom has to find their “heart song”, which will determine who becomes their mate. Unfortunately for one baby penguin who comes to be ...

Pros: extremely funny, great CGI, some interesting themes, realistic interpretation of the story
Cons: some slightly scary moments

On the South Polar Ice, two penguins by the names of Memphis and Norma Jean sing their way into each others hearts. Among this nation of Emperor penguins, songs of the heart are what wins the affection of another, and it is taking place all over the ...

Pros: Cute, entertaining movie with good animation.
Cons: Got too sad and preachy. Little long.

I first saw a trailer for Happy Feet sometime in 2005. The trailer didn’t show a lot about the plot at that point, but I still figured I would see the movie because it was animated. My decision to see the movie didn’t change as different ...

Pros: The story has a few very important messages for all, young and old alike
Cons: a few scenes might be a bit frightening for the very young in the audience.

Yesterday was a day like all days except I was privileged to accompany my daughter, my two grand kiddies, Vinnie, age 7, Christopher, age 3 and their cousin, Micky, age 9, to see an exceptional movie…Oh, did I mention the movie was Happy Feet, ...

Pros: very nice animation, a couple good messages
Cons: uneven, dark, chaotic, combination with live action looks freakish

The first I heard of Happy Feet was probably about a year ago, when a friend of mine played me a preview and informed me that this was a movie that made life worth living. At least, he expected it would be, given the fact that the preview filled ...

Pros: Amazing Dance. Fun to pick out songs and artists.
Cons: Failed its environmental message.

Gosh!! I really liked this film. It happened that, though my business, I was supporting a movie preview party two weeks ago hosted by Warner Brothers for the film Happy Feet. Though I did not see the film that day ( I watched it a week later) I talked ...

Pros: Music, dancing, great main character, stellar cast
Cons: A little too long, too many messages thrown into a kids' movie

We currently live in an age where family movies are bringing in more money than the latest big budget action movie. This was proven a couple weekends ago when the latest computer animated family flick, Happy Feet earned more than its ...

Pros: Cute baby penguins, great animations, excellent voice acting, socially conscious script, Robin Williams.
Cons: Boring adult penguins, rigid expressions, no knees.

Summary It's mating season as emperor penguins, as Memphis and Norma Jean sing heart songs to mate. Memphis is charged with protecting their one egg while Norma Jean goes out to feed with the other female penguins. He nestles the egg on his ...

Pros: Cute animated penguins, some funny moments
Cons: Hodge-podge plot, depressing for an animated children's movie

I’ve been eagerly anticipating Happy Feet since I first saw a preview for it almost a year ago. What’s not to like about a movie full of penguins, right? Unfortunately, Happy Feet is pretty lousy, and needed, at the very least, another ...

Pros: Motion Capture. Live Action/Animation. Spectacular gliding, swooping "camera." Robin Williams, Elijah Wood.
Cons: Not quite enough plot for its length. Necessary but sad message. Not for young kids

Despite the avowals of Director George Miller (MAD MAX,1979; BABE: A PIG IN THE CITY, 1998), it is hard to believe that some of the makers of HAPPY FEET had not studied last year's French documentary, MARCH OF THE PENGUINS, before completing their ...

Pros: Good animation, great music, penguins!
Cons: Movie is too long, and a bit sad.

Happy Feet is a 2006 animated film that my husband and I were at odds about. I wanted to see it, he didn't. When he finally told me his reason for not wanting to see it, I laughed. He told me that it would remind him of one of the guys at ...

Pros: A great little movie with a timely message.
Cons: Some may have trouble seeing beyond the money-driven politics they are being fed.

"Happy Feet" is a great family movie that Certain People Out There think is absolutely horrible and would have censored from release to the public if they could have made it illegal to keep us from knowing the truth. What truth? They don't want ...

Pros: Talented voice cast. Visually stunning.
Cons: A bit preachy in the final third.

Happy belated turkey day wishes to all of my fans out there in the dark. I just haven't had a moment to myself for weeks, what with preparing my new musical film remake of Die Hard and seeing to my other business ventures, not to mention the busy ...

Pros: Nice animation - realistic but obviously man-made.
Cons: Too scary for really little ones.

My wife and I, proud grandparents of a couple of children - one of them a highly verbal and bright 5 year-old Kindergartner - took her to see Happy Feet. Our decision was based, largely, on two factors. 1) The TV reviewers who raved about how appropriate ...

Pros: Beautiful Computer Animation, Fun Story Line Leads To Deeper Issues
Cons: Just Average For A Children's Movie...

Happy Feet was a critically acclaimed movie when it first came out. Comparable to March of the Penguins, I think Happy Feet was to be a children’s storyline that mimicked the documentary with a bonus storyline. The movie is computer animated and ...
