Happy Feet Two Taps Their Toes Again

If you can’t help yourself tapping your toes when you first watch the Happy Feet last year 2006, I bet you’ll gonna love this adorable penguins for their second time in the big screen on its 3D animation. I admit, me myself can’t wait to watch this on November 18.

Happy Feet II, a family film that was still directed by George Miller is a sequel to “Happy Feet” delivers the key ingredients: lovable characters, a rich blend of pop tunes employed in show-stopping song-and-dance numbers, and remarkable photo-realistic Antarctic landscapes whose bleak beauty pops off the screen even more than in the original.

Unlike the snowy crags and peaks seemed tactile in “Happy Feet”, “Happy Feet Two” will make you feel you could reach up and touch them, while the deep blue skies, with their billowy clouds, looks real and right outside the window.

The movie takes place when Mumble the Penguin got a problem with his son Erik, who is reluctant to dance and encounters Amazing Hero Puffin called “The Mighty Sven”, whom he thinks is a penguin who can fly. Things get worse for Mumble when the world is shaken by powerful forces, causing him to bring together the penguin nations and their allies to set things right.

The best addition of “Happy Feet Two” is the presence of two krill named Will the Krill and Bill the Krill, who are so engaging they deserve their own buddy-comedy spinoff.

When Will decides to swim out on his own to see the world beyond the teeming krill swarm, skittish Bill tags along. They discover to their horror that krill are just munchies for other aquatic life, sending Will on a comic quest to move up the food chain and become a predator himself.

Their interludes are delightful, and the dark, quiet depths through which they swim make a lovely contrast to the bright world of the penguins.
