The Boy (my son for those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter, or listen to the Major Spoilers Podcast), said the other day, “Dad, I sure wish there was another Happy Feet movie.”
Two things – 1) Here is the trailer for the new film, and 2) I have no son…
Mumble, The Master of Tap, has a problem because his tiny son, Erik, is choreo-phobic. Reluctant to dance, Erik runs away and encounters The Mighty Sven — a penguin who can fly! Mumble has no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model. But things get worse when the world is shaken by powerful forces. Erik learns of his father’s “guts and grit” as Mumble brings together the penguin nations and all manner of fabulous creatures — from tiny Krill to giant Elephant Seals — to put things right.

Ahh yes, Happy Feet. The movie which told us to be nice to Penguins, but only if they tap dance.
Of course! Those non-tap-dancing penguins are WAY too stuffy.
Honestly, the first movie was a fixture at our house. It was one of the first movies my son imprinted on, and would be transfixed by. What I loved about it was that it taught Queen to kids. In some ways, it was a precursor to Glee–teaching classic rock to children who may never know where the music came from.
