Blu-ray Reviews of Happy Feet [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Don't give bad reviews because you didn't follow the rating...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie for several reasons. It appeals to kids because of the dancing, music, and penguins. It appeals to adults because there are paths in the story that adults can appreciate (it goes over kids' heads most of the time). It is visually stunning and the acting is very good. Yes some characters are stereotypes but they are meant to be like that so the actors should not be criticized for what they were told to do. The story is not just a simple one-dimensional path from beginning to climax to end. There are several themes that are intertwined throughout the whole movie from discrimination, how environmental changes put stresses on animal populations, and how music and dance are both very deep forms of communication (Well... human communication but that's why it's a kid's film!). People unfairly criticize this film because they were not expecting such a detailed plot coming into a kid's movie. Don't be chained to your expectations and accept it for what it is--a very detailed movie that's really more for adults to understand than kids.
On this note--the rating systems for movies and video games are there for a reason. They give a parent or guardian a general idea what age group can handle it. Now I think that separation by age is not the answer, that it has to do with maturity which varies from child to child. But if your child is 4 YEARS OLD what the heck are you doing showing them a movie that's designed for kids at least 7 and older?! Wow... Give yourself a bad rating for ignoring ratings and not doing your research as a parent! On the other hand, kids under age ten probably have no idea that all this stuff is going on until you make a big deal about it. But the problem is that kids will see this material sooner or later so exposure with a parent is better than none but the movie is not offensive at all! If you watch any non-fiction tv channel like discovery or history channel you will see WAY worse stuff like, HEAVEN FORBID, animals mating or something. LOL. Even commercials on any channel are much worse than this stuff so it's really all exaggerated by really sheltering parents. I still don't know how the whole thing about penguins trying to find mates with absolutely no "bad" images and with lyrics that barely allude to sex (which kids hear EVERYWHERE unless you chain them to their bedroom door with no tv or radio or internet...or ANYTHING to do) is so bad... Maybe it made the parents uncomfortable!
Watch it and appreciate it for being a more mature kids' movie that breaks the mold to satisfy adults' need for a good story anyone can relate to.
Description of Happy Feet [Blu-ray]
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 encounters, proves that by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the world.For anyone who thought the Oscar-winning documentary March of the Penguins was the most marvelous cinematic moment for these nomads of the south, you haven't seen nothing yet. Happy Feet is an animated wonder about a penguin named Mumble who can't sing, but can dance up a storm. George Miller, the driving force behind the Babe (and Mad Max) movies, takes another creative step in family entertainment with this big, beautiful, music-fueled film that will have kids and their parents dancing in the streets. From his first moment alive, Mumble (voiced Elijah Woods) feels the beat and can't stop dancing. Unfortunately, emperor penguins are all about finding their own heart song, and the dancing youngster--as cute as he is--is a misfit. Luckily, he bumps into little blue penguins and a Spanish-infused group (led by Robin Williams) and begins a series of adventures. Miller has an exceptional variety of entertainment: Busby Berkley musical numbers, amusement-park thrills, exciting chase sequences (seals and orca lovers might like think otherwise), and even an environmental message that doesn't weigh you down. Best of all, you don't know where the movie is going in the last act, a rare occurrence these days in family entertainment. A fusion of rock songs, mashed-up and otherwise, are featured; this movie is as much a musical as a comedy. Mumble's solo dance to a new version of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" by Fantasia, Patti, and Yolanda may be the most joyful moment on camera in 2006. --Doug Thomas
