Happy Feet - Movie Review

Happy Feet is such a funny movie. I loved it. The kids loved it.

The premise of the movie is that there are too few fish in the Antarctic waters. The hero penguin of the movie is blamed for the famine because he is different -- he dances while everyone else sings. He tries to convince the elder penguins he is normal, just different. Then he tries to fake his ability to sing. Finally, he goes on a quest to find out what is happening to the fish, hoping the penguins will appreciate him once he has proven himself.

Happy Feet is a musical, so the penguins sing and dance at every opportunity. I highly recommend this movie. It's good, clean fun and it doesn't contain the heavy-handed moralizing that so many film critics said it did.
