Fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2006)

I was expecting a cute movie about a tap dancing penguin, but it was SO much more than that! I thought that Happy Feet was one of the BEST animated movies I have ever seen, and the animation - amazing. It is so realistic and detailed. I was very impressed.
This movie has so many different things going on that it is the perfect movie for not just the kids, but the adults, too! The kids will see an adorable and brave little penguin trying to be accepted, and the adults will see a WAKE-UP CALL! Although there was really no warning that it was going to be an environmentalist type of movie, it really gave me something to think about.
The only problem I really had with the movie was that it was a bit long and drawn out in parts; at times I just wanted it to pick up the pace a little. But the song and dance sections actually had me dancing in my seat.
I would recommend this movie for anyone to see. It was a fascinating, beautiful, and surprisingly thought-provoking story.
