At last, a new animated classic

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2006)

Like most people, I went to see Happy Feet for the cuteness factor. Not only were my demands met in that regard, but I was surprised to find a high quality film, that I think will become an animated classic alongside the likes of The Lion King, Bambi, and Snow White. The Bambi comparison is the most important one here. The film, as it turns out, has a strong environmental message, which makes it much more than a cute cuddle-fest. Like Bambi, it raises awareness about the negative impact that humans can have on wildlife. In both films, the main characters must live through some extremely perilous situations, in which humans are mainly to blame. Perhaps Happy feet will inspire a new generation of environmentalists? If the environmental theme doesn't entice you, see it for the gorgeous computer animation (probably the best i've seen in a mainstream film), the wonderful characters, and the awesome music (an original song by prince!)
Also, Happy Feet doesn't make you gay, contrary to what some (crazy) people have said.
