Happy Feet is a cute fun film the entire family can enjoy. The movie is full of humor that will be appreciated by old and young alike while the music will appeal to audiences of all ages. The animation here is top notch and the voice overs are some of the best in the business featuring talent from Robin Williams, Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, and Nicole Kidman. The movie even won an Academy Award for best animated film. The only reason I don't give the film a perfect rating is because there is quite a bit of propaganda towards the end concerning environmental protection and global warming which tends to damper the easy going mood that prevails for most of the movie. All things in consideration, Happy Feet should be an easy choice is you or your family, especially if you enjoy the animated genre.Read full review
We found this movie to be very accurate as far as the penguin environment. We had recently watched March Of The Penguins which is a documentary on penguin lifestyle and mating. This movie, Happy Feet, followed the same penguin patterns which was very encouraging. Whether you believe your children are being impacted by this or not, it does send a message. Maybe later in life some of the accurate details of penguins may be recalled because of this fun and playful little movie. Watched it with a 3, almost 4, year old who really enjoyed it. They also tossed in some good adult humor to keep us interested too.
Movie animation was adorable and was well done. The voices were terrific and could not have been better. Pros: Great music - Children learn a little about nature while exploring Emperor Penguins and their habitats. Learn about the effects of man on nature. Movie has many funny parts for parents to relate to. Cons: There is reference to stereotyping certain minorities. Very evident in the movie. I don't believe that this is enough to overshadow the value of the movie, however. Overall, this is a movie that children and parents will both enjoy watching together. Inspirational and Funny.
Imy daughter asked for happy feet last minute, I did not have time to go shopping so I satrted looking on e bay to see if I would find it. To my surprise, it was there I just needed to place an order and pay and it was going to be send over in the next few days just in time for X mas. The dvd arrived on time, I had trime to wrap it and it made my shopping during the holidays very easy, especially since it was a last minute request.
I really liked the price I paid, compared to retail store prices. And the movie itself was very engaging. It is great for families with elementary children, because it is about family relationships and change, and lends itself to fostering family discussions after viewing. It has great humor, great music & dancing, warmth of spirit and lessons for all of us. As a plus, everyone can learn something about penguins and their communities. Small children under five yrs old will certainly enjoy the animation, the singing and dancing, even though it may be difficult for some to follow the story line. They could certainly grow into that over time and with some help from adult explanations. This is a worthwhile movie to own, and for the price I paid, you can't beat it!
