Happy Feet (Full Screen Edition)
In the great nation of Emperor Penguins, deep in Antarctica, you’re nobody unless you can sing – which is unfortunate for Mumble (ELIJAH WOOD), who is the worst singer in the world. He is born dancing to his own tune…tap dancing. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria (BRITTANY MURPHY), happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange “hippity- hoppity” ways. Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a posse of decidedly un-Emperor-like penguins – the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramon (ROBIN WILLIAMS), the Adelies instantly embrace Mumble’s cool dance moves and invite him to party with them. In Adelie Land, Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru (also voiced by ROBIN WILLIAMS), a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life’s questions for the price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and, after some epic encoun

I bought the DVD, sight-unseen, and am not disappointed. I take issue with many of the previous reviewers, in many ways. Peril seems to be an issue, but lessons are learned from those in peril; anyone remember “Pinocchio” or “Peter Pan” or “Bambi”? Also, Robin Williams gave some ethnic impressions (very well, I thought, and entertaining). This was necessary because the “Hispanic” penguins were of another tribe. What’s the fuss? My problem was that it started out too slow, too much time setting the scene. Once it got going, I had no problem keeping up. Narrow minded people have forgotten that ethnic characters have been a part of cartoon history, so why complain now (anyone remember Babba-Looie, or the speech impediment of Elmer Fudd?). Lighten up, for God’s sake. I liked “Cars”, too, only because I hit the old Route 66 and was dismayed. Both are good films.

First, this movie may be appreciate by kids, but its really made for big
kids, which will understand and appreciate it more. Great music, great
characters will entertain you with this eye candy of a movie. I did’nt
know what to expect, and viewing it at 23:00 it had to be good. By the
time the movie ended, i could’nt go to bed…cause my feet were dancing.

First of all, this is simply a great movie. The narrative is brought to life with humor, action, important life lessons, and conservational commentary. The voice actors all give 5-star performances and the animation is incredible.
But, this being the Blu-ray disc, I’m going to focus on the picture and sound.
The animation by itself is simply breath-taking; easily one of, if not the best looking CGI feature to date. But in HD, it’s brought to life even further. Every feather on the penguins is apparent, every flake of snow falling through the air and I’d almost go so far as to say every molecule of water! This is the best looking animated feature you can get on Blu-ray now. It’s definitely the show-off piece when people ask “How much better does HD look?”. The leopard seal was particularly mind-blowing to me.
Another hook is the sound. While I wouldn’t say this is the best sounding movie on Blu-ray, it definitely puts sound to good use and ranks pretty high. All five channels are used when appropriate, but Happy Feet does not utilize them as much as other films. Still, crank up the sound and the action scenes will blow you away.
All in all, this is an excellent movie made even better on Blu-ray. At this time, this is the Blu-ray disc to own for giving people lessons about HD.
