Nice Little Computer Animated Film

Happy Feet is a cute little film. I always wanted to see a film with penguins. I saw March of the Penguins, then I saw this. March of the Penguins was a fantastic documentary of a penguin's life. Well, this is a film about dancing penguins. Pretty big difference. Now I don't really remember this film clearly.
Happy Feet is about a penguin named Mumble. He is kicked out of his penguin group because he can't sing like the other penguins. He can only dance. Then he meets a penguin named Gloria, who can sing really well. When he gets older he and Gloria break up because he can't sing. Then he meets a group of short penguins. Mumble teaches them to dance. They have a leader named Lovelace. He has a pop holder around his penguin neck. Then the pop holder gets really stuck around his neck and he starts choking. Mumble and the other short penguins meets a killer whale. He tries to eat Mumble and Lovelace. The killer whale throws Lovelace. Lovelace's pop holder flies off. But then Mumble gets stuck in a zoo and thinks that people are aliens. A little girl comes and everyone takes pictures of Mumble dancing. Mumble gets back to Antarctica. I forgot how. Anyway, Mumble doesn't want to get teased by the other penguins. Then a penguin sings behind Mumble's back. Everyone thinks Mumble is singing! I think that happened before he got trapped in a zoo. Then they find out that Mumble wasn't really singing. Then Gloria gets a new penguin. Mumble think Gloria's singing choir is their babies. In the end humans come to see Mumble dance. He does, and the humans stop the shortage of fish in Antarctica.
Overall, this is a beautiful looking computer animated film. A bit long and a bit complicated for kids, but it's a great little penguin movie that you could see with the whole entire family. Everyone could enjoy this little flick. The only problem that I have is, like I said, a bit too complicated and long. I mean, there's the food shortage in Antarctica, which younger kids wouldn't understand. There is also a thing I'd like to point out, actually two things. When Mumble dances, his feet don't match the beat at all. Also, the humans in this film are not computer animated, they're real. This is a good film.
6/10
