![]() ![]() Last time around, we heard versions of songs by Queen, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Stevie Wonder. I wouldn’t be able to do Happy Feet Two justice without mentioning the songs. D Studios spinning off a series of shorts about these two. While the krill have little impact on the fate of the bigger creatures, I can see Dr. They even work in a funny schtick about Bill possibly being gay, an oddly progressive detail for a kids’ film. Will the krill (Pitt) is out to escape the hive mentality of their home swarm, and drags the hesitant Bill (Damon) along with him. There’s some great material between a pair of miniscule krill voiced by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. The longer the humans are on screen, the harder it is to suspend one’s disbelief – the movie starts to feel a little too self-aware, or too proud that the quality of the animation permits this kind of scenes. This was done fairly tastefully in the first film, but in the sequel it felt like the humans were overstaying their welcome. D Studios have evidently spent hours studying how ice, water and light interact.īoth Happy Feet movies include sequences with live-action actors sharing the screen with digital animals. Aspects of the landscape - especially the snow, ice and ocean - are beautiful to look at. Happy Feet Two is presented in the same stunning animation as its predecessor. They all face starvation, so Mumble must find a way to free them. Erik is inspired to learn to fly himself, but his plans are interrupted by the arrival of the giant iceberg, which traps the Emperor penguins behind walls of ice. Sven is a crazed puffin who lost his flock and built a cult of sorts for himself on the South Pole, convincing the penguins he’s the only one of them who can fly. On a visit to Adelie Land, the home of Mumble’s friend Ramon (Robin Williams), Erik meets the Mighty Sven (Hank Azaria). The penguins are busy singing and dancing, as per usual, except for Mumble’s son Erik, who is too shy to either sing or dance. The film opens with a sequence pulled from a global-warming documentary: a giant iceberg has broken away from the Antarctic continent and is heading towards Emperor Land, the home of hero penguin Mumble (Elijah Wood) and the rest of his community of Emperor penguins. Unfortunately, the film is too interested in sweeping shots of dancing animals than it is in its own story, and so it wastes a number of chances at the kind of narrative development seen in the previous film. It’s a competently-made family film with some funny jokes and beautiful scenery. This is a place where penguins sing and dance to covers of pop songs, and cope with the climate changes imposed on them by the mysterious “aliens”, the human race.įor the most part, Happy Feet Two succeeds. It wants to bring the audience back to the musical animated Antarctica of its predecessor, 2006’s Happy Feet. Mumble and Erik hop into the clouds and the game begins.Happy Feet Two is a movie with an earnest goal. Erik says, "Look dad it's sqaure clouds and let hop in to stop Alpha". A flashback appears from the movie " Happy Feet" when Alpha Skua put his feet to Mumble (as a baby) and He runs away from the Skuas and hide before the Skuas fly away and then the flashback is over and Mumble says, "Erik we have to go to Cloudy Land because Darksmoke is finally gone and melted from his Ice Penguin form". A skua named Alpha Skua stole a fish and the Emperor Penguins finds out that a skua have arrive and everyone runs for there lives except Mumble and Erik. Mumble says, "You did it Erik and now were winning". Erik put his rod to the water and then a fish bite it and Erik used his thing to get his fish and then HE GOT IT! :). Then Erik says, "I know dad and i can do it by my own than Lauren's". ![]() In Antarctica on Penguin-Land, Noah announed that it's fishing day and Mumble and his son Erik take him to go fishing with the Emperor Penguins and Mumble says, " Erik if you want to get a fish you have to use your fishing rod". ![]()
