Happy Feet
You’re nobody unless you can sing--which is unfortunate
for Mumble, who can't sing. He is born dancing to his own tune--tap dancing. Though Mumble’s mom, Norma Jean, thinks
this little habit is cute, his dad, Memphis, says it “just ain’t penguin.” They both know that, without
a Heartsong, Mumble may never find true love. His one friend, Gloria, happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and
Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange “hippity- hoppity” ways.
Mumble is just too different--especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of Emperor Land, who casts him out of the
community. Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramon, the Adelies instantly embrace
Mumble’s cool dance moves and invite him to party with them. Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a crazy-feathered
Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life’s questions for the price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the
Amigos, Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and, proves being yourself, can make all the difference in the world.
I would rate this move ****
