Besides the overly simple plot that has been done before (and better) there is little other I can fault. The animation is great, the music works and there are some great sequences. It's too cutesy and sweet, but its diverting enough. |

Happy Feet |
|
Happy Feet is pretty much what you would get if you watched March of The Penguins on acid. Wonderful animation is wasted due to the movies boring story and dreadful, not to mention random musical numbers. Elijah Wood brings no character to the lead role, but Brittany Murphy's singing voice is great to listen to. Robin Williams has a lot to do here and does a decent job. But the film is beyond corny even if it does have a good eye for detail. |

Disappointed Brain |
|
This stunningly animated feature starts cute, but quickly disolves into compilation of irritating dance numbers, obnixious characters and preachy environmentalism; a poor choice for the Animated Film Oscar, with wasted voice talent all around. Final Grade: D+ |

Falls apart when the environmental message appears |
|
In Antarctica, a colony of Emperor Penguins are living peacefully. A female penguin named "Norma Jean" (voiced by Nicole Kidman) finds a mate named "Memphis" (voiced by Hugh Jackman) by singing a "heartsong" ("Kiss" by Prince), to which "Memphis" responds with his own "heartsong ("Heartbreak Hotel" by "The King of Rock 'n' Roll" Elvis Presley). The two hatch a child named "Mumbles" (voiced by EG Daily)
"Mubles" is not your typical penguin, as he is unable to carry a "heartsong" if it had handles on it. He becomes an outcast, but a female named "Gloria" (voiced by Alyssa Shafer) becomes the only penguin who shows him a shred of respect. It is also obvious that "Mumbles" has feeling for the female penguin.
Years later, the fish population the penguins live off of is dying out. And "Mu... |

Happy Feet Not So Happy |
|
I was disappointed by this over-hyped film. I thought the story was shallow and was surprised that they chose raunchy songs for a kids show (since when has anything written by Price been appropriate for kids?) They tried too hard to make it funny. I found myself wondering when it was going to end. |
