Movie Review:
Happy Feet:
A movie of heart, passion, music and lots of music.
Happy Feet is a remarkable achievement of George Miller who had the movie unite with the world today and the world of animation. Happy Feet will get your heart and be touched by the movie with its very heart-warming story of courage and faith. It is added with its powerful music which will drive your feet off the floor!
What the movie offers is not just for kids but it also touches the hearts of the adults. Its theme is not just a dancing penguin with a comical character.No. It is the creators way of letting us know of what the present " Real" penguins are facing today and letting them appeal to the human not on a sleepy documentary but in a lively-comical animation which captures a lot more audience.
Moreover, lets not forget that its still an animated movie where anything can happen. Lets not blame those creators. So what if they love making things that are you know, not quiet real. Well why dont you be the judge and go watch this movie. It never hurts to sit beside a 3 year old child laughing even on how the penguins walk.
The movie features the all star voice casts of Elijah Wood ( Mumble), Robin Williams ( Lovelace, Ramon), Nicole Kidman ( Norma Jean ), Brittany Murphy ( Gloria ), Hugo Weaving (Noah the elder) and Hugh jackman ( Memphis ) who also gave credits to the voice of Roddy in another animated movie FLUSHED AWAY which, you know did'nt really turned out well in the box-office despite of a stellar casts along with Kate Winslet,Ian Mckellen,Bill Nighy and Jean Reno. Watch out also for Fat Joe who unrecognizably voiced Seymour the Rhythmn teacher in the voice class handled by Gloria ( Murphy ).

PICKED elements:
A.) The narration of Robin Williams is very "Discovery Channel" but in an artistic way. Dont miss every word he says,some lines are funny.
B. ) Britanny Murphy singing " Somebody to love"makes me relive my Ella Enchanted memory. I love that movie so much.
C. ) The climax, when everyone in the world reacted to the dancing penguins is so cinematic with very great scoring,I realy had a goosebumps.
D.) You could hear the song of pink " Tell me something good" in the opening scene and it was great,really great.
Rating: Not on the level of Shrek 2; but worthy to be compared with such heartwarming animated movies like finding Nemo and Cars. The music, aahhh..damn great.
