Fun with a message

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2012)

Aparrently, penguins sing to one another as a mating ritual. Usually, I despise musicals of any kind including west side story which my mass media class was forced to sit through in high school. The sharks and the jets remain in my head forevermore; sheer torture. Maybe I've mellowed with age because I was actually entertained by animated dancing arctic birds who cannot fly.
One bird sings heart break hotel and another is a super tap dancer. I know it sounds ridiculous but the creators of Happy Feet make it all work.
An environmental message is delivered as a scientific expedition discovers that over fishing is decimating the animal population. The word is spread with news footage of the boogey crazed mammals and the world falls in love with them. Maybe a silly cartoon can make a difference toward saving us from self destruction. Meanwhile, sit back and smile at Happy Feet.
