Happy Feet is a 2006 animated jukebox musical comedy film directed and produced by George Miller and written by Miller, John Collee, Judy Morris, and Warren Coleman. It stars the voices of Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving, Anthony LaPaglia, Magda Szubanski and Steve Irwin. An international co-production between the United States and Australia, the film was produced at Sydney-based visual effects and animation studio Animal Logic for Warner Bros. Pictures, Village Roadshow Pictures, and Kingdom Feature Productions. It is the first animated film produced by Kennedy Miller and Animal Logic. Set in the cold land of Antarctica, the film follows Mumble (Wood), an emperor penguin who is able to tap dance brilliantly despite his lacking the ability to sing the heartsong to attract a soul mate. After being continuously ridiculed and rejected by peers and his own father (Jackman), Mumble departs on a journey to learn what is causing the local fish population to decline - and to find himself along the way.

Another Fun Fact: Mumble came out of his egg feet first (as opposed to using his beak like birds normally do). Technically this means Mumble was born in the breech position. Breech babies tend to have a higher risk of having developmental problems.

That's why at the end when he's finally accepted by the others, if you pay attention you can spot that he's suddenly got a yellow spot starting to come in on his chest. Which is to show his adult feathers are finally growing in. Granted its still an ugly design to some people, but at least there's a legit design choice to show that he wasn't fully mature yet. And it apparently was also meant to look like an old-school white tux as well with a faint bow-tie mark on his neck.

Looking back, the marketing team did a really good job. This film initially presents itself as a standard outcast coming-of-age plot only to reveal that it's actually a surreal epic with a strong environmental theme. We're in an age where trailers always either spoil something important or outright lie about a story's premise, so it's actually really cool that the marketing for this film honestly showed the outcast coming-of-age part and hid the surreal epic part.

@RedMephit Месяц назад

And it played that environmental theme while somehow not being too in your face about it despite it being a major plot point of the movie. Then, showing the debates that take place over the issue instead of humanity instantly going "we have to save them"

@RaptorNX01 Месяц назад

I remember Unbreakable did something similar. the trailer i had seen for the film made it look like it was about a guy having to deal with being the sole survivor of a train wreck. the entire comic book hero aspect was a completely shock.

@welcometothemetaverse2523 Месяц назад

I feel you skipped over the part where the father dropped Mumble as an egg (a crucial rule among the penguins) and the secret becomes a shocking reveal to everybody, solidifying Mumble's dancing to the Penguins as not just abnormal, put some type of deformity, like their own Quasimodo, so to speak, that led to his own exile.

Another Fun Fact: Mumble features a faded dark spot directly under his neck in the shape of a bow tie. This was added to make Mumble's appearance more like a white tuxedo. This is both to emphasize the Fred Astaire resemblance and is also a play on "penguin suit", a slang term for a black tuxedo.

@Tanyableu Месяц назад

@@therealCrazyJake I just figured it was the easiest way to make him stand out from the rest

@overlydramaticpanda Месяц назад

@@therealCrazyJake It was actually more to keep him immediately identifiable to the audience since there was generally less variation among the models of the male penguins as opposed to the female models. The animators basically realised that adult-Mumble would look too much like Memphis (especially in crowded shots) so they kept the fluff to make sure the audience would instantly pick him out from the crowd and to emphasise how different he was from the other penguins. When he's returned to them at the end of the film, he's lost some of the fluff on his flippers and stomach to signal his acceptance by the other penguins. The only direct reference to Elijah Wood in Mumble's model are his very light blue eyes.

@koneheadcokehead4981 Месяц назад

Another Fun Fact: Not only does Steve Irwin provide the voice for one of the elephant seals, but he was also originally cast to play an albatross that Mumble encounters as he crosses the ocean after the aliens. The albatross scene was cut from the final movie, but you can see it in the DVD extras. The scene was cut before animation was complete, so no actual animation existed until they were preparing the DVD for release. The director and the production crew felt that they needed to do something following Steve Irwin's death, so they completed the scene and included in the DVD in remembrance of him.

I am hispanic, and I give everyone everywhere infinite permission to do spanish accents. It really doesn't bother us, in fact, sometimes we really like it. See Speedy Gonzalez as an example.

I’m Hispanic too and I agree! I think it’s hilarious.

No! You need to be offended by it so white people with guilt complexes have some way to signal their virtuosity! Also, let them call you latinx and accuse your languages of being inherently sexist, so they can act morally superior as well!

Steve Irwin also had a deleted scene of mumble chasing the ships where he voices an albatross

5:05 The Puffins 😂😂😂 EDIT: wonder how Critic would react when he sees Sven 😱

Fun fact: Before this movie ever release, there's a book for children for marketing this movie show that Mumble baby feathers became faded when he enter the Zoo and more like an adult Penguin. I know they kept the baby feathers Mumble kinda want to make him more recognizeable (I mean in his chest look like a bowtie make it little cute),but i kinda prefer his adult look in the book over the movie. It's like he's not an outcast or a special penguin but more accept to the Penguins and become look like them.

Another Fun Fact: Nicole Kidman's first, and currently only, animated voice role.

@ryansalter2325 Месяц назад

Steve Irwin was originally going to voice an albatross Mumble meets in the ocean after he stumbles across a humpback whale. The scene was fully completed and part of the bonus features in honor of Irwin.

@koneheadcokehead4981 Месяц назад

To quote the late Great Norm MacDonald and something i'm sure Robin Williams might or might not be thinking about in heaven is “In theatres, you’re kind of disconnected. Also, it’s way too big for the likes of me. Unless you’re Robin Williams or someone that can fill a stage with movement and energy, it just looks like a small man on a big stage.”

@koneheadcokehead4981 Месяц назад

Another Fun Fact: When Mumble finally embraces his dancing; not only does his "heartsong" match Gloria's perfectly, but he will never drown her out. Rather than trying to convince her to accept a melody that isn't hers, Mumble provides an independent but perfect harmony that makes both of their songs more beautiful.

@autumbreeze1129 Месяц назад

Kinds surprised you didn't bring up the deleted scene where Steven Irwin basically did the same lines, but as a seagull in the middle of the ocean as Mumble was swimming and got held up by a whale. You easily could've put a mention of it in right before Mumble follows the boat and brought up the differences in the scenes

@koneheadcokehead4981 Месяц назад

Man the mid 2000s-early 2010s we're really interested in Penguins in Movies

True.

My mom took me and my siblings to watch the movie in theaters when it first came out (I was 12, my brother 11, and my sister 7) We were introduced to a lot of great music from Happy Feet, as well as the world of voice acting and dancing. This movie definitely left a good impression on us. Thanks, Mom ❤

@SaraBanartist Месяц назад

This movie introduced me to "I Wish" as a kid so it forever lives in my heart. That and the penguins

@hannahbarker1463 Месяц назад

When my siblings and I were younger, we’d go to the dentist and this movie, the shrek movies and the Madagascar movies were always on the tvs there with subtitles on. It was either focus on the noise going on while the dentist cleaned your teeth, look at the ceiling or watch the movies.🤪

Never thought you’d review this film, Doug! Still, it’s great to see more content from you, thanks for making my Lise funnier, and keep up the great Work! For now, I’m hoping that we’ll get a review of The Little Mermaid 2, and a sequel to the Fanscription of “What if Ariel was A Siren?”, video, in honor of the Little Mermaid’s 35th anniversary this year. Once again, keep up this phenomenal work, and I hope to see you someday in the future!

@m.c.ufan1019 Месяц назад

Another detail I missed was when the skua bird put his foot on mumble, his feathers then formed a bow tie for him and he had it ever since.

@willpower8289 Месяц назад

Idk if it’s just me but Happy Feet has the same energy as Rango

@SuperSwordman1 Месяц назад

That puffin joke is weird considering my hang up regarding the sequel. Also, seriously they should have had him lose his down. I know they had him keep it to make him identifiable, but it looks weird as hell.

@RoseBaggins Месяц назад

Yeah, they could have easily kept the bow tie spot and the blue eyes. You would know right off the bat who it was.

@SuperSwordman1 Месяц назад

@@RoseBaggins What's extra weird is they either had the model of him without down or chose to make one after the fact. Because a picture of this alternate Mumble look exists. If you're wondering, yes they kept the bow tie spot, just it's made of the yellow/orange stripe instead of a black spot.

@RoseBaggins Месяц назад

@@SuperSwordman1 oh, really?? I have to see this! *looks It up* not a bad design, keep the blue eyes, and you can tell it's Mumble. But did they keep the down feathers because Elijah has such a baby face?

I watched this in a mostly empty theater, sick as a dog. By the time he forgot who he was, I was giggling uncontrollably, and told my husband “This is the Twilight Zone for kids”. That’s how I’ll always remember it!

@Markimark151 Месяц назад

Happy Feet is one of the best animated penguin movies, it has the best voice actors like Robin Williams and Elijah Wood! Also this movie beat out Disney-Pixar and Dreamworks Animation that year! This is the same people who would later work on The Lego Movie, it gave the animation department more budget.

@hazzareviews3514 Месяц назад

Steve Irwin’s cameo as the elephant seal is great but the deleted scene of him as an albatross was personally much more impactful considering this film was dedicated to him.

@HarlanDaleAbsher Месяц назад

Robin Williams was one of the few actors who can do any accent he wants, and we all let him because we knew there was no hate or malice, and he was purely doing it for the entertainment of it

@avacornthelastponybender8583 Месяц назад

There's a scene where an elephant seal sucks his nose & spits out white stuff at the penguins Foe some reason my little baby brain thought it was milk, so I spent the next 10 years thinking actual male elephant seals drink milk from their noses🤦‍♀

@travisdelafuente1150 Месяц назад

George Miller may have given us the Mad Max movies but he also gave us good family films such as Babe and Happy Feet.

@koneheadcokehead4981 Месяц назад

Another Fun Fact: This movie was one of the two types of media in 2006 in which Elijah Wood's character hatched from an egg and was forced to find where he belonged. The other was ''The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning (2006)'', where he voiced the title character, Spyro.

@saltbaker8683 Месяц назад

At least this movie wasn't still directed by *-Dan Schneider-* during this time.
