Then why has it been #1 for three weeks?

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2006)

Alright, having come from our third showing of this film, I still just have to laugh at the close minded conservatives who are aghast at this movie. But then these are the same ones who try to find fault in many other animated films for their sheer enjoyment of subjugating others and making themselves feel better about their position in life. Yes, Happy Feet has a heavy environmentalist undertone, yes, it has story, yes, it has dancing penguins.. all the necessary ingredients to make an excellent point to how we should or shouldn't treat the one and only world we live in. With rising concerns for environmental issues, it's refreshing to see that film makers take that extra step to try and keep ourselves grounded in reality rather than being wasteful of resources, disrespectful of the world around us, and sheltering the future leaders who can actually DO something about the situations that we've managed to create.
I encourage EVERYone to take their children to see this! Not only is it entertaining for adults, but it helps keep children happy and harmonious with the world around them, all while watching dancing penguins.
10 out of 10.
