Amazon.com 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 More Happy Feet  Blu-ray |  Combo HD/DVD |  More Penguin DVDs |

Great Movie January 6, 2009 This is a great movie with a message in it to all mankind and what we're doing to our environment and the creatures we share it with.
EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS January 2, 2009 Dont order from this seller!! i ordered happy feet from him and never recieved it and to this day still trying to get my money back!
CAN YOU FEEL IT? December 28, 2008 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 and the creatures that dwell here, etc.). If you DO NOT like R&B and soulful moves, THIS IS NOT THE MOVIE FOR YOU. It is a MUSICAL ANIMATION WITH A MESSAGE not the all out drama that warrants all of the expert movie critic reviews that have been given here (musicals aren't for everyone, some people don't really appreciate animation, and some people just hate getting a message). Enjoy the entertainment.
P.S. HD is the best way to watch this movie. It brings everything to life.
Adults Stop Over Analyzing December 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 this is to adult, not this or that. Children learn by adult examples, and the examples we adults are seting are poor! Look @ us we are picking our nose driving, texting driving, drinking & driving, ladies with shorts with the butts hanging out & we want to belittle a film that's for entertainment. People exercise some of this energy in your enviroment to preserve the planet for the young people. People, put the trash in the trash can, bend over and pick up something & throw it away. Stop talking & texting while driving not paying attention wile driving, serving whole dinners while driving and then throwing them out the window or leaving the garbage them in parking lots. Have you looked around a movie theater when the movie has ended and see all types of garbage left in the theater? Think about it! Ferngully is a nice film for young people to see it's enviromental movie....Purchase or rent it, let children see how to make a better enviroment & be far better examples then we are showing them. I have a grandson who was 9 months when he first saw this film and was captivated by the colors & music most of all the tapping, he's 13 months walking now & still captivated & tapping with one foot. It's entertainment!I've seen far worse and we display far worse in our everyday lives. Children didn't know about the enviromental aspect before this film, many adults either. This is broadening many young people's thoughts.
Entertaining: But Note the Political Subtext December 20, 2008 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 reduced to near nothing. Until this point, HAPPY FEET could have been simply a retread of any number of Disney animations that featured adorable characters facing a predator. But here, HAPPY FEET morphs into a leftist global warming screed that pulls no stops to indicate that Al Gore was right after all when he sees mankind as the ultimate scourge of itself. The food supply is rapidly being depleted by what Mumbles calls "Aliens," creatures who are truly dumb enough to destroy their own nest. In between the many songs and dance numbers which are quite captivating even for grownups, the film insists on a subtext that demands a scapegoat for this planet's perils. Though global warming is not mentioned, HAPPY FEET points an unhappy finger at a collective humanity that is unwittingly intent on eradicating the penguin population. Humanity is initially presented as blissfully unaware of the impending doom. If only SOMEONE could alert the unthinking world that we are one on Planet Earth. And this is where HAPPY FEET falls into lockstep with the green crowd. Amidst a general musical hoopla of a mass dancing televised worldwide, the crisis is first addressed then averted. Tree huggers save the day. And Mumbles even looks like a pint-sized Al Gore.
