About this product

Product Information

HAPPY FEET is the charming animated tale of a tonally-challenged emperor penguin who likes nothing more than to tap dance. Unable to attract a mate through song, Mumble is shunned by the rest of his tribe and left out in the cold. But his fellow penguins change their tune when he uses his special tap dancing skills to save them all from imminent starvation, and wins the affections of his beloved Gloria.

Additional InformationSet in the strange and beautiful world first explored in the 2005 documentary MARCH OF THE PENGUINS, George Miller's HAPPY FEET tells the story of Mumble (Elijah Wood), a tone-deaf Emperor Penguin who is unable to sing his 'heart song', the ritual required to win a mate (in this case, his beloved Gloria, voiced by Brittany Murphy). The fact that Mumble is a terrific tap dancer is completely lost on his tribe, and he spends a rather lonely adolescence as an outsider. His hero's journey involves both discovering his own innate coolness, and, more importantly, solving the mystery of the dwindling supply of edible fish in the ocean. As the latter plot takes over, the film shifts from a touching story of self-belief, to a more urgent ecological plea, but all the themes converge when Mumble's special talent saves the day. 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. The musical numbers--drawing on pop hits of the last 30 years--were choreographed by Savion Glover, and revel in the joyful if slightly limited physicality of the bottom-heavy penguins. While some scenes of predation may prove too scary for very young children, the rest of the family will be inspired and entertained.

ReviewsNew York Post - HAPPY FEET is not only the year's best animated movie, it's one of the year's best movies, period. Go., Time Out - Director George 'Babe' Miller has pulled off a coup with this one; he's raised the benchmark to a whole new level, both visually and conceptually. Bravo., Film4 - Puts heart and soul back into the good old computer animated, talking animals family film., New York Daily News - In the year of the animated movie, this one soars above them all.
