My faith in CGI animated films has been restored!

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2006)

I have to admit I didn't know what to expect before I saw this film. This year, the only other CGI-animated film I enjoyed was Flushed Away (which is partly because I grew up watching the Wallace and Gromit series and I love Chicken Run, but also because it was genuinely entertaining). As the older sister of a seven-year-old girl and a fan of CGI-animated films since Toy Story came out, I have seen my fair share of CGI-animated films... and this was not the year for CGI-animated movies until Happy Feet came out.
Sure, Flushed Away was enjoyable and fun to watch, but what Happy Feet has that no other CGI-animated film released this year has is the classic formula for an enjoyable family film. The makers of Happy Feet even added the formula for an enjoyable animated musical, something long missing in animated films.
Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Brittany Murphy, Robin Williams, and Elijah Wood star in this animated gem, and Jackman, Kidman, Murphy, and Williams provide their own beautiful singing voices. The casting couldn't be more perfect, and the characters couldn't be more lovable. Who doesn't find an adelie penguin (voiced by Williams), belting at the top of his lungs, "Lo hice myyyyyyyyyy wayyyyyyy!" adorable and entertaining? Nine out of ten- go out and see it today. You won't be disappointed.
P.S., Why are people saying my comment is not useful? I think I did a pretty good job explaining why this movie is worth watching.
