First, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows about Happy Feet. The movie scored 1st place for three weeks and was the third most popular animated movie in the US. What makes this movie even more fascinating that just it's public popularity, the movie is also incredibly well received by critics. A few even wrote essays analyzing the themes of the movie.
One thing to say, this movie is unto itself, a very unique movie. It never leads you the way you expect it to happen, it follows no structure or story telling trope at all. In fact, the film itself is just as unconventional as its main character.
The movie stars Elijah Wood as Mumble, an Emperor Penguin who's father accidentally dropped him when he was just an egg, which left him very "unique" to other penguins. Robin Williams takes care of all the comedy needed here, but also a lot of dramatic narration as both Ramon, an egotistical but lovable Adelie Penguin and Lovelace, an incredibly smooth and sexual Rockhopper Penguin who runs a con as being a Guru, giving advice and information to unsuspecting Penguins.
Now, the movie has a LOT of religious undertones and symbolism, which Mumble's entire civilization being kept intact by religious extremists, and the Humans being treated as great Mystic beings/aliens from the beyond. As well as Lovelace's own Guru scam.
The movie also has a huge message about people being different, but I'm not a symbolism major, so let's get down to the music.
Now, this movie uses Music in both a soundtrack and musical style, with each song being intentionally made by the characters, as singing seems to be the ultimate way of Birds expressing themselves. The Music is amazing here. The only problem I have now and then is that they cut a lot of their songs short, which I can understand, since they have a LOT of stuff to tell, I just wish the editing could make it pass down easier.
Anyway, the music is amazing, my favorite number being "Boogey Wonderland" where they all get into a huge marching band and dance and sing.
Now, the story. Basically the plot goes as such, there a fish shortage in antarctica and all the penguins are starving. Mumbles is born without a singing voice and a predisposition to tap-dance, something repeatedly called "not penguin". He eventually gets kicked out of his community when he starts blaming aliens for the food shortage (they believe that it is a higher-power doing it). Mumbles teams up with Lovelace, Ramon, and Ramon's friends, who all want to find out the secret (Lovelace wants to know because he is dying from a six-pack ring around his neck).
Miraculously, Mumbles makes his way to human civilization and wins the heart of everyone there with his Dancing. He leads them to his own show the problem to them and the UN makes a big argument over whether they should do anything for the Penguins. And they all live happily ever after.
The movie is beautifully written an is spectacular and I can't wait to review the sequel later on. You know what? I'm going to end my animation Marathon with Happy Feet 2 and make a bunch of reviews abotu christmas related stuff, Happy Holidays everyone
