I admit I wasn’t the biggest fan of Happy Feet. I found it
disjointed and a little dull in places. However millions did enjoy it and spent
$384,335,608 so a sequel is definitely something the public wanted to see.
The
film has managed to get an even bigger list of star names on the credits this
time around as well as adding 3D to mix. Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Hank
Azaria, Alecia Moore (P!nk), Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Sofia Vergara, Hugo
Weaving, Richard Carter, Common, Magda Szubanski and Anthony LaPagila.
So far, and
it is early days, the film isn’t winning over critics. That’s hardly likely to
put a dent in the film’s box office; however some fierce global competition
from Tintin, Arthur Christmas, The Muppets, Puss In Boots, Hugo & Alvin
& The Chipmunks 3 (shudders) could stop the film from making massive
improvements on the first film’s gross though.
Synopsis...
“The sequel to the Academy Award(R) winning animated smash
hit, "Happy Feet Two" returns audiences to the magnificent landscape
of Antarctica in superb 3D. 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.”
