loved it

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2006)

Something that has bothered me about some movies like happy feet is that they're assumed to be for kids. Sure, kids wouldn't mind seeing dancing penguins, but that doesn't mean the movie makers were about to limit themselves to topics only kids would understand. As a teen, I loved this movie, and themes that may have disturbed kids seemed more important. The darker theme of the environement issue is going to be this generation's problem. It's not something any kid should be hidden from. The movie had plenty enough happy to balance the weighty issue, and it ended on a hopeful note. In no way should it be denied to the eyes of children, or limited to them. It is a movie for all ages, showing the good with the bad, happy and sad, and a misfit hero who tries to fix it all with the universality of dancing. The graphics are stunning also. If only more people had happy feet
