What do parents need to know about Happy Feet?
Parents need to know that Happy Feet is an appealing animated film with plenty of catchy music. It deals with environmental themes related to humans intruding on natural habitats but avoids the heavy-duty questions of how to solve the problem. Some of the chase sequences and elephant seal scenes might be scary for younger kids.
Is the Penguin dancing in Happy Feet real?
Mumble’s dancing is awfully cute — but also true-to-life, thanks to the motion-capture techniques used to graft acclaimed hoofer Savion Glover’s moves onto the penguin’s body. The characters are fun, the Antarctic landscapes mesmerizing, and the storyline sweet.
