Wolf in sheep's clothing as a children's movie...

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 2006)

I was excited to see Happy Feet because it was appeared to be just another joyous, cute, innocent children's movie. Little did I know that it was mis-advertised to disguise the overt political propaganda that was contained within the movie.
The movie starts out with a courting ritual between a female penguin and several male penguins, with the female drawn with a shapely form, singing breathy, and dancing suggestively to Prince's "Kiss". I was a little taken aback at this start, but was pacified as the movie went on to simply be the joyous and cute movie I originally expected.
I was at ease for awhile, until the movie took a serious turn for the worse and veered off course into a big ditch. Instead of just making a children's movies about cute penguins, the writers thought it would be appropriate to use this opportunity to indoctrinate young minds with their own political agendas.
The movie got seriously dark for awhile, featuring penguin insanity in a zoo, scenes from arguing members of the United Nations, and penguin disfigurement from a tracking device implanted in it's back.
The movie ends on a happy note, but let's suffice it to say that it is not like any sweet innocent children's movie I remember!
