I think a lot of people were surprised by the success Happy Feet had in the theater. Who would have guessed a bunch of dancing penguins could put butts in seats?
Warner Bros. is hoping lightning can strike twice with Happy Feet Two, scheduled to hit theaters and IMAX on November 18, 2011.

The first one was great up until they decided to beat me over the head with the environmentalist message and ruin a perfectly good movie about acceptance and learning to embrace your talents. They already fooled me once. I’m not seeing this movie unless I’m getting paid to do so.
@ @lantis
I don’t understand this sentiment sweeping the nation that if a movie has a message about something it’s immediately preach or bad. If the movie said “don’t shoot people” or “don’t poison your dog” would it still be a bad movie? The writers could use allegory but people seem to have just as much of a problem with it then (James Camerons Avatar being one example).
I grew up with shows like Captain Planet and watching shows like Dinosaurs that touted environmentalism yet I take no issue with them at all. They were still great shows. I feel the same applies to Happy Feet.
