Miller ensures that a conceit - dancing penguins! - that might have seemed best left to the jokey attachments that clog up email inboxes is supple enough to carry a sardonic parable about the hypocrisy of Western consumers.

You should see Happy Feet -- not only because it's stupendous, but also because it features the best dancing you'll see on the screen this year.

Stands at the very top of the 2006 animated kid's film class.

It's almost impossible to hate. It's not impossible to get a little bored, but that's another tune.

Awkward but graceful, derivative but daring, Happy Feet is, indeed, a flightless bird in the best and worst sense.

Audience Reviews for Happy Feet

Aug 22, 2014Despite being a thinly veiled piece of environmentalist propaganda, Happy Feet is imaginative and fun. The story follows an emperor penguin named Mumble who has a gift for dancing but is shunned by his fellow penguins for his rebellious ways. Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman, and Nicole Kidman form an all-star cast that give excellent performances. And the music is especially well-done, creating several new and interesting complications and covers of a number of pop songs. The animation however, is a little crude and could use some work. But the main problem is the story, which starts out alright but completely falls apart in the last act. Whole sections of plot appear to be missing and logic errors abound. Still, even with all of its problems Happy Feet is a charming and entertaining film.Dann M Super Reviewer

Dec 29, 2011Nothing than an eco film that makes people think about the environment (and made me cry) Great numbers and cute animation but it's somewhat racist and too Americanised. Brilliant voice actors: Tim, Elijah, Nicole â(TM)¥Sylvester K Super Reviewer
