Happy Feet!!!

OK, it must be said that "Happy Feet" is a class film. I absolutely love this film. I could watch it over and over again and not be bored of it!! It is such a happy film. Yes I am a child!!

It is an animated musical film about penguins. The movie establishes that every penguin has to have a heart song to attract a soul mate!! But "Mumble" the main character in the film, is different, he cannot sing!! But he can dance, well actually tap dance!! And to him his heart song is in his feet and not in his voice.

The film goes through all of Mumbles life as a child and as an adult. Even when he was made leave his family because he was different!! So the film shows us his life journey on his own, the friends he makes, the lessons he learns etc..

But the film also has a major environment message in it. Towards the end of the film, researchers film the penguins singing and dancing and are amazed. So they broadcast the film to the world and they show that people have to stop overfishing in Antarctic as it is killing off the penguin race!!!

Although the film has some sad, emotional scenes in it, it is a happy funny film.But like every children's film there is always a happy ending. Mumble saves the day from the humans, finds his soul mate (through his feet) and is allowed back into the home along with his new friends.

Here's the trailer for "Happy Feet".
