Het verhaal speelt zich af in de wereld van de Keizerspinguïns op Antarctica. Deze pinguïns zingen, ieder zijn eigen lied, om partners aan te trekken. Helaas is Mumble, de zoon van Memphis en Norma Jean, de slechtst denkbare zanger. Dit probeert hij echter te compenseren met zijn uitzonderlijke tapdans-kwaliteiten. (Warner Bros. Pictures)

Happy Feet is a classic story for kids (even though in places it gets pretty adult). About growing up and the like. Nothing special. Apart from the marvelously chosen voices of the main penguins and the EXCELLENT music from John Powell which takes everything a level higher. In terms of animation, HF is a little up and down and scenes of genius like the blizzard or the aquarium are alternated by downright ordinary seals or elephant seals. But this turned out to be simply a much, much better movie than I was expecting. And I happen to really like penguins. :-).

Although constant singing can be maddening at times, the surprising story and amazing animation outweigh it. When I take the story about singing and dancing at face value, it is a surprisingly lively spectacle with a few unexpected twists. The animation is a complete fairy tale, where every downhill ride is an unforgettable adventure and the snowstorm is a captivating experience. P.S.: The continuous singing becomes even more annoying the second time around. The transformation of the main character, along with the dancing and especially the voice acting of Elijah Wood and Hugh Jackman, saves practically everything.

Pretty boring for a cartoon. I could have used a bit more cuteness, originality, and above all humor.

It's quite lovely; the animation is fantastic, the music is also excellent, and great voices were chosen, but still, it didn't quite get under my skin, although it really tried hard to do so by the end. Perhaps it tried a bit too hard to showcase how beautiful nature is, which bothered me. Similarly, I found it hard to buy into the real actors in the movie.
