WARNING: May Cause Toe-Tapping.
In the cold land of Antarctica, the Emperor Penguins each express their true love with a special heartsong of their own that expresses their very being. However, the misfit Mumble cannot sing, but instead has an extraordinary talent to tap dance with almost magical energy and expression.
Nevertheless, the deeply conformist leadership of the colony fearfully blames the young penguin’s unorthodox ways for the lean fishing that threatens them all. Defiant in the face of unjust rejection, Mumble and his true friends set out to find the true cause of the famine. Through the motley crew’s trials and perils, Mumble learns many things about his frozen world, not the least of which being that his toe tapping talent may be what he needs to save his people.

This was a great movie to watch. I still have my DVD with me and my kids find it funny to watch.
My daughter and I watch this together regularly.
The soundtrack
is amazing and the characters lively. It is a humourous and well-put
together animation with an age appropriate environmental message.
The animation is stunning, the best I’ve seen. Some parts did drag on a bit and did get boring. but worth watchingit.
I am a mother that only let my children watch/listen to age appropriate
movies, shows, games and music. It is so hard to find good clean movies.
I have watched this movie with my children and we all fell in love with
it so much my youngest child has the Wii version also. This was a happy
heart warmer.
We love it.
when it first came out all my sons did was just keep on asking me if
they could go and watch it. I was able to take them and i enjoyed it.
Its great to hear the singing pegs. I just loved the graphics. In my
days and now days the grapics are just awsome.
MY BOYS WERE SCARED OF THE SEAL CHASING LITTLE HAPPY FEET BUT NOW ENJOY
IT, THEY AND ME LOVE THE MUSIC AND SONGS IN THIS MOVIE. THE PART WHERE
HAPPY FEET IS IN CAPTIVITY WAS A WAKE UP.
The singing is penguintastic –
The characters are fun –
Ok –
the underwater scenes with the leopard seal with sharp teeth and the
two killer whales might be a bit scary – but, hey – it’s nature! –
There’s a strong message in the movie.
