Happy Feet

Riding high on 'March Of The Penguins' worldwide success, comes animated musical 'Happy Feet' by Australian director George Miller. Variety has heralded it as "the work of a real filmmaker; in terms of composition, camera movement and editing, the picture is conceived as a "real" movie". In the great tradition of animated films, a similar film is out mid 2007: 'Surf’s Up' - surfing penguins (interestingly, neither are from the animation heavy-weighs Disney or Dreamworks).

In this Antarctica, penguins value conformity and have strict compliances regulated by the elders. Penguins are expected to have singing voices, they’re singing folk. But young Mumble (Wood) is unable to string a couple of notes together. Mumble's mom (Kidman) doesn't mind her son's eccentricity, but his dad (Jackman) complains that "it just ain't penguin." Mumble is eventually exiled by the high priest (Weaving).

And so begin Mumble's wanderings about the icy continent, riddled with unknown dangers. Though he does finds buddies in Mexican-accented penguins fronted by Ramon (Williams, who does several voices), who are wowed by his swift feet. Their odyssey briefly reunites Mumble with his own penguins. But there, the fish supply has suddenly halted and Mumble sets out again, this time for the "Forbidden Shore" to find answers.
