 Happy Feet Review Watch - 79% RT, 77 MC 2/2 with very positive review from variety, and a very positive one from hollywood reporter.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/happy_feet/?show=all
"general reaction is likely figures to be one of jaw-dropping amazement, sparking merry B.O. through the holidays and further abundance in home entertainment incarnations. Extensive simultaneous Imax engagements will be particularly popular." _________________Ari Emmanuel wrote: I'd rather marry lindsay Lohan than represent Mel Gibson.

Things I don't understand about Happy Feet:
1. Who thought this was a bright idea for a feature length movie?
2. Who thought this movie should then be greenlighted and financed?
3. Who on earth would possibly want to see this movie, not to mention pay ten bucks to see it?

Dolce I bet you will love it.
If you do a double feature of this and Borat, you can be fulfilled in the heartstrings and gutbusting departments.

I still don't know what the plot is. Penguins dancing for an hour and a half? meh.
At least the other penguin film coming out next year lets you know what it's about.

interesting spin-off I thought so too, but not really. Libs wrote: Dolce I bet you will love it.

the film is about penguins that sing to find their mates. turns out this one penguin ... he can't sing. he just doesnt have it and isntead learns how to dance. his friends and him are now on a quest to get the girl penguin by dancing to her instead of singing to her.
kind of quirky ....

Wasn't there already an animated movie about a penguin who needed to do something to attract a mate?

Hey Groucho, was it done by the same people who animated Secret of Nyhm? Looks like exactly the same style. Yes indeed. You have a good eye. It's from Don Bluth. I never saw it, though, but it does seem to have the same sort of plotline, doesn't it? In "Pebble" the penguin had to get a pretty stone to get the girl to like him, which is apparently based on something real penguins do. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com
