Happy Feet - DVD

Product Information

This scene is done in documentary style, with the albatross describing the other characters in the scene, and the impact people are having on their environment. Reminiscent of films such as Baz Luhrmann's " Moulin Rouge," "Happy Feet" effectively incorporates full songs and snippets from many popular tunes from the 1970s to today.

With no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model, Mumble gives up all hope of passing his passion onto his son. Mumble (Elijah Wood), son of Memphis (Hugh Jackman) and Norma Jean (Nicole Kidman), is the worst singer in the world but he is a brilliant tap dancer. Composer John Powell composed the score while the film features more than 10 songs from famous artists, mostly to fit with the mood of the scene or character.

After Mumble desperately begins tap dancing in synch with her song, she falls for him and the youthful penguins join in for singing and dancing to " Boogie Wonderland".He has no ability to sing as the other penguins do, although he has a different talent, tap dancing.

Mumble is just too different-especially for Noah the Elder (Hugo Weaving), the stern leader of Emperor Land, who ultimately casts him out of the community. The Amigos unsuccessfully attempt to help Mumble win her affection by having Ramón sing a Spanish version of " My Way" behind Mumble, with the latter lip syncing. Happy Feet" may suffer from a few flaws, not the least of which its (at times) plodding pace and its neat and tidy happy ending.

However, seller responded quickly and professionally and apologised for this inconvenience and issued a refund and said I could keep the item. Meanwhile his feet do all the talking in tippety, tappety, hippety, hoppety groovy funkadelic style. For Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood), the happy-go-lucky blue-eyed "star" of Happy Feet, this gift entails an uncontrollable desire to dance, dance, dance, all night long. I guarantee the mums and dads will be singing along to the classic Elvis and Motown hits while their kids try to hide in embarrassment ! Mumble exhaustingly pursues it alone, eventually washing up on the shore of Florida, where he is rescued and kept at Sea World with Magellanic penguins.Eventually, Mumble embarks on a quest which ultimately saves his people, wins the admiration of his community, and, most importantly, gets him the girl. Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a posse of decidedly un-Emperor-like penguins-the Adelie Amigos. Steve's lines were re-integrated into the final film in the role of a sea lion, but it's nice to see the original "scene" fully animated. One day, Mumble encounters a group of hostile skua, with a leader who is tagged with a yellow band, which he says is from an alien abduction.

Emperor penguins have lived for centuries with one simple goal in life: to find their soulmates through their own unique heart song. Happy Feet' (2006) tells the story of Mumble (voice of Elijah Wood), a young emperor penguin who struggles to perform the heartsong which is crucial to finding a life partner. He discovers that his talents lie in his feet, with his ability to tap dance like nothing the others have ever seen.

Even if many of them are Christmas-themed, I'll be reviewing them here on my blog over the coming weeks as you can come back to them next year for festive family viewing ideas. The Amigos help him realise the importance of being true to oneself and that being unique is a good thing. According to Miller, the environmental message was not a major part of the original script, but "In Australia, we're very, very aware of the ozone hole," he said, "and Antarctica is literally the canary in the coal mine for this stuff. Like "Happy Feet," it illustrates the scorn and ridicule associated with possessing, and exercising an unappreciated talent.
