Happy Feet [DVD] [2006]

Product Information

These growth spurts are highlighted by journeys to the Antarctic's frigid expanses, as a range of different characters -- voiced by the likes of Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Weaving, and the immediately-noticeable Robin Williams -- either accompany or hinder his path. The film is a triumph of striking CGI animation, with every frame celebrating the vast and breathtaking purity of Antarctica's tundras, snowscapes, icebergs, and waters, as well as its wildlife. Though primarily a computer-animated film, the film does incorporate motion capture of live action humans in certain scenes. But for poor ole' Mumble (voiced by Elizabeth Daily as a youngin' and Elijah Wood as an "adult"), he's got to find another way to both entice the ladies and discover himself since he was born without the ability to sing.

Happy Feet' (2006) tells the story of Mumble (voice of Elijah Wood), a young emperor penguin who struggles to perform the heartsong which is crucial to finding a life partner.Scenes like this one, along with a big singing number featuring Mumble's beautifully-voiced female friend and a slick, fast-paced swimming bit, build an atmosphere teetering between realism and animation that sways more on this line than most others. In total, the film was the top grosser for three weeks, a 2006 box office feat matched only by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

After escaping from a leopard seal attack, Mumble befriends five Adelie penguins named Ramón, Nestor, Lombardo, Rinaldo and Raul, known collectively as "the Amigos", who embrace Mumble's dance moves and assimilate him into their group. The dancers went through "Penguin School" to learn how to move like a penguin, and also wore head apparatus to mimic a penguin's beak. While some scenes of predation may prove too scary for very young children, the rest of the family will be inspired and entertained. It earned the recipient of the inaugural BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film, and the fourth non- Disney or Pixar film to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.Each penguin is born with a certain knack for singing and each must find his or her own unique song on the path to adult penguinhood. After being continuously ridiculed and rejected by peers and his own father (Jackman), Mumble departs on a journey to learn what is causing the local fish population to decline--and to find himself along the way. Produced by SimEx-Iwerks, the 4D experience premiered in March 2010 at the Drayton Manor Theme Park.

One day, Mumble encounters a group of hostile skua, with a leader who is tagged with a yellow band, which he says is from an alien abduction. Detail in darker scenes (such as the underwater sequences) is acceptable but lacking a bit of crispness.Other locations included Sea World (2010–2011), [40] Shedd Aquarium (2010–2012), [41] Moody Gardens (2010–2011), [42] Nickelodeon Suites Resort, [43] and Adventure Aquarium. On a technical or formal level, the film has also been recognised for its innovative introduction of Miller's roving style of subjective cinematography into contemporary animation. Colors are rich and details handled with immense concentration, though it's pretty easy to see some scattered instances of digital grain in high-motion sequences and edge enhancement in a few spots (especially with dark set pieces against white backgrounds, which occurs quite a bit).
