	Movies - Happy Feet

Happy Feet is a computer-animated film directed by George Miller. Due for US release on November 17, 2006, it is being produced at Sydney-based visual effects and animation studio Animal Logic for Warner Bros, and Village Roadshow Pictures. It is the first animated feature produced by Animal Logic. It stars the voices of Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Robin Williams.

The film will be simultaneously released in both conventional theatres and in 3D IMAX format.

Plot

Set in Antarctica, the musical epic follows the adventures of an emperor penguin called Mumble, who has an unusual gift for dance. Like their real-life counterparts, each penguin has the ability to sing a unique "heart song", a talent that Mumble severely lacks. His preference for tap dance leads to his ostracism from his community and to encounters with other varieties of Antarctic Wildlife.

Due to the faithful representation of the life of emperor penguins, many sequences and plot devices in the film are similar to those in the highly successful French documentary La Marche de l'empereur
(aka March of the Penguins), released in 2005. Despite the similaries, both films were in production before details of either were announced. Happy Feet was more likely inspired by earlier documentaries such as the BBC's Life in the Freezer
.

Soundtrack

The song featured in the theatrical teaser trailer is entitled Jump 'n Move by The Brand New Heavies featuring Jamal-ski.

A second teaser stars a hatchling emperor penguin dancing to the Stevie Wonder song I Wish. It appears on the March of the Penguins
DVD and has been screened in IMAX 3D.

The third trailer for the film features Robin Williams performing the song "My Way" in Spanish.
