Definitely better than Cars

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2007)

I just saw this movie today on the television on my CD and wow, I loved it. The story is completely different, not like Cars and other Disney movies, which normally have the same plot with a change of characters.
The movie was dark but not scary and it really hooked me to the screen. I felt sad when the characters felt sad, felt happy when the characters felt happy and thus, felt their emotions.
Unlike Cars, Happy Feet doesn't have style but has lots of substance. The story was deep but understandable and the movie was not too flashy.
There was nothing extra in the film and the film was not too long at all.
The were also not too many characters and they mostly focused on the main character, Mumble. Eijah Wood has done an excellent job in playing the role.
Robin Williams and Brittany Murphy were also good in playing their role. I felt that Nicole Kidman could have spoken a bit louder, her voice was too low.
The jokes were really funny and the four short penguins were hilarious. The songs were really good and the dance kept my feet tapping.
Moral: Substance scores over style and this movie is a perfect example of this.
