Visually amusing. Slightly comically amusing, but otherwise PHHT!

Is Happy Feet visually amusing? Yes, at times it is downright astounding. Is it funny? Only in the places that comic genius Robin Williams saves it with his delivery. But in the long run this movie is downright boring.
Maybe I've just been a slave to cartoons for as long as i can remember, but I thought the plot was bland, and played out.
Here's a message for everyone in Hollywood with an idea for an animated movie in which the main character (a fish, a bug, a car, some animal, a toy, a toaster) is "different" and he "finds his purpose" while on his "journey" DON'T!! For God's sake, PLEASE don't. I'm so tired of it. To be quite honest, in this one, when Mumble was jumping off the cliff to go into the water, i was really hoping for him to hit an iceberg on his way down to end the movie there. I'm not knockin' tap-dancing, it's a cool thing, but it would've been much more original, and i would've laughed my ass off.
