If you really get down to the heart and soul of this film, you would know that Happy Feet is not really about a penguin looking for meaning and purpose among all the other penguins. It has a hidden meaning that children will not get. Its very clever and only really comes out of hiding towards the end. In a way, the subtle message regarding the environment is a good thing, but its a shame it has to be disguised in a children's cartoon.
The songs are mediocre at best and the penguins come across as likeable, but really, it doesn't have much going for it. Its certainly a watchable movie and does have its fun moments, but really, its almost too adult in certain ways for children to truly appreciate it. But I am sure most kids will like it as is too.

Saw this movie originaly in theaters and I remember leaving not knowing if I had liked it or not. The `real life yet cartoony' feel to the character's animation threw me off after being use to Disney's many reformed animals but it grew on me.
The story line was rather lacking. I find myself wanting to watch the movie more for the music and dance than for the story itself. I like to listen to music or have a movie playing in the background while I'm playing video games and this quickly became a `background movie' that I'd listen to or turn and watch for my few favorite dances while I'm playing or cleaning.
The music was well done. They seamlessly meshed many different songs that still sounded great. The singers' voices (except Mumble's) are amazing. I often find myself singing along during the movie or carrying the songs around in my head during the work day.
The characters are believable. Mumble is not `strong' in character as many protagonists are however I wouldn't be surprised to meet him down the street (provided he was human). I love the interaction of Ramon and his crew.
The animation is amazing. Characters and items have a `weight' (they do not float) they are detailed down to the feathers. Everything moves. The `background' penguins all have a personality of their own, singing moving or dancing. The "real" film of people is seamless with the animation. Overall the animation is very believable, I was impressed with the amount of detail they put into it.
For kids this is a great movie. Singing and dancing penguins what more do you want! I would suggest this to anyone who has kids under High School.
For adults it's a bit of a drag. the only real drive to watch this is the music and the dance.

I know they were trying to cash in on the market of penguins as the popular animal thanks to march of the penguin and I do think there were a fair amount of funny parts. However yes if you're trying to stick to realistic animation there are a great deal too many unrealistic and totally illogical plot holes to it. Like why would the zoo just turn loose a phenominal tap dancing penguin with a tracking device rather than keep him as a star money making attraction? I was fond of Mumbles from the start. As to the music choices ok We all expose kids to pop music at an early age. so we have little right to complain about this movie doing the same. I've seen and heard worse on primetime and even cartoon network and disney channel. I at 30 found this an interesting and entertaining near 2 hours of mindless drivel.

...i never seen so many harsh ratings on a "children's movie"...
anyway, look on youtube for a trailer and see if you want to buy it.
i just want to inform all parents that this is DEFINITELY not a children's movie. some things will go over their head but it has plenty of sexual references [small and big].
it didn't both me at all but i was working at a movie theater when this came out and i was thinking "wow...all those kids in there and they said that/ did that?"
just a heads up.

"Happy Feet" is a feel good animated movie musical about an Emperor penguin who can't sing at all unlike the rest of his colony. He's an outcast who is a terrific tap dancer. Having seen Savion Glover perform his tap dancing feats on the stage, I knew he was the one whose idiosyncratic dancing style was used as the model for Mumble, the dancing penguin.
People should see this movie in tandem with "March of the Penguins," the documentary about real penguins, so they can see how carefully the makers of this movie were in portraying accurately the behavioral traits of penguins. Real people appear in later scenes of the movie because human beings are endangering the penguin population by overfishing in the Antarctica and elsewhere. Mumble, of course, has to stop them from this anti-penguin activity.
Mumble is the proverbial outsider, the loner who can't do what his brethren can do. After being ostracized from his own colony he joins five Adelie penguins and one Rockhopper penguin who happens to have the voice of Robin Williams. The swimming sequences and the run-in's with predators add excitement to the film. Thousands of computerized, animated penguins are shown in singing or dance segments. Few viewers are going to be bored by this film that won an Academy Award in 2007 for best animated feature. It's entertaining, fun, not overly long, and a hoot.
