Well done!

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2006)

Excellent and well done. This movie has humor in it ranging from crude, adult humor to entertaining slapstick and kids humor, making the film very funny at times and melancholy at others. Hard to accomplish, but the Warner Brothers found a way to pull all of it together in "Happy Feet". The comic relief being neither to extraneous nor too single-audience oriented was very well scripted, and the talents of robin Williams shine once again.
The plot throughout the movie seemed to be rather unclear until one specific scene came along, though - twenty minutes or so into the movie. After the plot was introduced, it seemed to be no more than an irrelevant curiosity of a small number of the characters, ergo the plot was rather equivocal during much of the film and until the main character blatantly states his standing on the seemingly unimportant fact, turning the audience's attention in the general direction of the film. As the film turns to a conclusion, the last few scenes are rather ridiculous and unnecessary, and it seems as if the director and scriptwriters forgot to remember to construct and script a sufficient and / or montage resolution.
The ideas, characters, and music were superbly developed, thought out, and intertwined throughout the entire movie, and the musical-like scenes were very well done and perfectly animated as well. A very original and entertaining movie, just work out a few scenes and "unrealistic" patches and it'd be a nine out of ten; work a few scenes in and work out a few scenes and it'd be a ten out of ten.
