Happy Feet is an Academy Award-winning Australian-produced 2006 computer-animated comedy-drama musical film.Set in an Antarctic emperor penguin colony, the film establishes that every penguin must sing a unique song (called a "Heartsong") to attract a soul mate. This is based in fact, since emperor couples court each other and recognize one another by their unique calls. One particular female, Norma Jean, sings her Heartsong, "Kiss", whereupon the male Memphis sings "Heartbreak Hotel". Norma Jean chooses him as her mate. They couple and Norma Jean lays an egg. The egg is left in Memphis's care while Norma Jean and the other females leave to fish for several weeks. While the males are struggling through the harsh winter, Memphis drops the egg, briefly exposing it to the freezing Antarctic temperatures. The resulting chick - the film's protagonist, Mumble - has a terrible singing voice. However, Mumble has an astute talent for something that none of the penguins had ever seen before: tap dancing.
When Mumble was still an egg, his father Memphis accidentally dropped him, briefly exposing Mumble to sub-zero temperatures. As a result of this, Mumble hatched with a horrible singing voice but with an affinity for tap dancing, which was completely unique. Though Mumble's mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, his dad, Memphis, says it"just ain't penguin." Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong, Mumble may never find true love. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria, 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. Mumble is just too different--especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of Emperor Land, who ultimately casts him out of the community. Our hero's salvation comes in finding out what's happening to all the fish - though he's warned by an elephant seal (the late Steve Irwin) that it will be a very perilous quest.
I'm really fascinated with the way the penguins do some dancing on this 3D animated movie. Also, a great adventure. Recommended to watch with the family.
I really enjoyed watching this movie specially the singing parts.... Boogie Wonderland and Somebody to Love....are the songs that I like... Mumble was a good tap dancer....
