Footloose, Penguin Style!

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2007)

When Happy Feet took the Oscar for best animated film of 2006, I became extremely interested in seeing this movie. But I kept on hearing that this didn't deserve the Oscar, so I was a little scarred about seeing it, but I figured, everyone has a different opinion of what deserves what award and such. So I rented it anyways and I watched it last night, I have to say that this was such an adorable film and so much fun, why all the mean reviews? It had great animation, fun songs, and an adorable story that I'm sure anyone could enjoy.
On the Emporer Penguins Island, they are known for singing, not only that, but they are terrific at it, but when Mumble is born, he's a bit different, instead of being a singer, he's more of a dancer. But no one is buying it, in fact he is even sent away from the island, but he meets several penguins who are also outcasts. But there is also a bigger problem, the fish population is winding down when humans keep taking them, the penguins are starving and Mumble will try to use his tap dancing skills to communicate and save the island that has isolated him away from his friends and family.
Happy Feet is all in good fun, I think people really should give it another chance. Out of Cars and Monster House, I would pick this for the Oscar, but I guess I might be alone on that one. But like I said, everyone has a different opinion, but I think if you just give this movie a shot, you'll find yourself laughing and having a great time. It's a great family film, I loved the animations, the story, and the songs, they were just terrific.
8/10
