Load of rubbish!!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

In 2006, Warner Bros and Animal Logic teamed up to make a CGI motion capture animated feature film known as Happy Feet, a story about a tap dancing penguin named Mumble (voiced by Frodo Baggins - I mean Elijah Wood) who, after being born from an egg, has an ability to tap dance everywhere he goes and embarks on a quest to make peace with the humans who took their food while learning to accept himself as he really is.Happy Feet is still as good as I remembered it. However, before I can get to the good stuff, there is one problem I do have. And that is the environmentalist message. The story is supposed to be about acceptance, but the whole "humans stealing our food" concept did get really preachy and the whole movie could've been stronger without it. I'm not angry about it. It's just that they didn't do anything new with it. Just a nitpick. Everything else still holds up. The voice acting is top notch with great performances from Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving, and the late Robin Williams, who committed suicide in August 2014, stealing the show as both Ramon and Lovelace, two hilarious and entertaining characters since the Genie from Disney's Aladdin. The animation is gorgeous with a great scale on Antarctica and the penguins even though the human motion capture doesn't have the same level. The best part, however, is the musical numbers which consists of cover versions including the Boogie Wonderland sequence and with the help of John Powell's lush and beautiful musical score, it's still the most memorable scene. Overall, Happy Feet may not have anything groundbreaking to make it stand out from the likes of Pixar and DreamWorks, but with lush animation, endearing characters, and memorable musical cover songs, it still tap dances perfectly on it's 10th anniversary. Happy New Year, everybody! :)

Rather enjoyable film with excellent animation. this is the story of Mumble a penguin who is rather unusual.. he can't sing whatsoever and sounds just god awful,, and he is ostrasized for it throughout the whole movie for it,, but to his credit he does have a talent for something that no other penguin in the land has... he can tap dance,, well that doesn't go over to well with mom and dad,, and the Penguin leader ,, the Penguin he grew up with she can sing,, and she tries to teach him but sadly to no avail It doesn't work,, so he and a few friends go on a journey seeking advice from an all knowing one,, then when he get's the answer that he needs he comes back home to see if he will be accepted by the girl,, his parents , and the rest of the Penguins.

The movie is my favorite movie.I watch this movie with Japanese dubbing at movie theater.Dubbing cast is my favorite actor.He is Yuya Tegoshi.He is idol too.His group in charge of theme song.The song is "Hoshiwomezasite".I wanted to listen the song at movie theater.The story is tone deaf penguin.But the penguin can tap dance well.It is so cute.The penguin's name is Manble.He is emperor penguin.When he grow up,he fall in love with glolia.But emperor penguin courting sing.Manble never giveup.Manble appeal to glolia in tap dance.It is very nice.Manble wanted to told fun of tap dance.It was success.Manble was so happy.

A great dance and tap film for children and adults who have just one child's movie taste at heart. The movies generic implementation is successful and fun to watch. With a penguin love story that initially runs as black as the duckling which blossoms at the end of the movie, and by becoming more and more popular in his penguin with his personal strengths. The protagonist goes on a big trip to the so-called aliens, what really are just people. He is doubted, that there are such, but the main actor provides evidence of their existence, far from their breeding site. At the end of course and as usual with a happy ending. People are not evil, but the savior of the penguins. Thank you
