With everything that has gone into the production of Happy Feet it’s clear this movie is something special. Robin Williams seems to have born for his roles as he effortlessly got in touch with what could only be described as his inner penguins. Brittany Murphy has done the late Freddie Mercury proud with her rendition of the classic “
Somebody to love me”.If an Emperor Penguin is to ever find true love they need to express themselves with a special heartsong. However, Mumble cannot sing but is blessed with an extraordinary ability to tap dance. Seeing this as a curse and the reason there is a shortage of fish, so Mumble is banished. With his true friends Mumble sets out to find the ‘aliens’ which are the source of the famine.
Happy Feet leaves you with a message that perhaps everyone needs to consider.
