Get ready to tapa lot.

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2007)

When you go to watch 'Happy Feet', remember to wear soft-soled shoes because you are going to want to get up and dance. Directed by George Miller (Babe: Pig in the City, The Witches of Eastwick), this adorable movie kept the kids in the theatre squealing and the parents on their seats with laughter. The movie was a PG-rated musical/comedy/animation about Mumble (Elijah Wood), a young penguin who is unlike all the others because he does not have a "song in his heart", instead Mumble tap-dances. His parents don't appreciate what he does and the people around him label him as a misfit. The plot then follows Mumble trying to win the heart of Gloria (Brittany Murphy), his love interest. Then it changes to him trying to figure out the mystery behind the food shortage and therefore prove himself to his family and clan. Along with him are the Latino penguins, Ramon (Robin Williams) and his gang. The movie was dedicated to Steve Irwin and therefore had lots of people to come see it, grossing a total of $138 million since its release. Some people think this was not a good movie because it had a lot of controversial arguments over it because of some 'disturbing' scenes where Mumble is stuck in a zoo and goes 'mad'. But overall I think this is a very good movie to watch with your kids especially after a long day of work or a very tiring week. I give it 4 singing penguins out of 5.
