Happy Feet, Happy Ears!

I’d say, if you have a good ear for music, and also a good eye for beautiful 3d animations, don’t miss out on Happy Feet. The soundtrack alone is emotionally moving, not to mention the realism of the environment up North.

It’s actually a simple time-tested story of an outcast, for his difference, trying to find a place in society. Mumble (Elijah Woods), was born unable to sing, unlike the other Emperor Penguins (yes, it’s mostly about penguins). He instead, have a knack for dancing and cooking up a beat with his feet (in human term – tap-dancing).

Some have said that this movie is a homage to a tap-dancing legend, but I’m not too sure about that. One thing I’m sure of, is this is like a concert. It’s not a musical per se, but music itseld is a character in this movie.

You’ll be amazed how silent the cinema is when the sad part, and I believe, that that is thanks to the bombardment of our senses.

If you’re looking for hot scenes, then walk away, since there’s almost no human appearance in this movie, but penguins, orcas, and other inhabitants of the Antartic.

And, as a reminder, should you be muching on a fish-related snack, finish it by the first 40 minutes, or you might be unwilling to finish it by the end of the movie. And oh, you might even want to release all animals in captivity too!

Go Watch!
