Happy Feet Music Dance Remix Video

Friday, 20 April 2007

"Happy Feet" is an odd bird. It's a CG-animated film with a "Dumbo"-esque story about an emperor penguin that unlike other penguins can't sing worth a lick but, boy, can he tap dance. Right from the start, though, you are aware that the Australian director George Miller and his talented artists are aiming for something more than a charming children's cartoon.

In the barren, hostile Antarctic wilderness where these hardy yet somewhat comical birds make their home, Miller is unafraid to go for what can only be described as a neo-biblical epic. In his depiction of a plague and a pilgrimage, a God-like penguin appearing in the sky, the portrayal of the story's hero as a prophet rejected by his own kind and even the gospel orientation of several songs, Miller boldly reaches for spiritual themes.

He is born dancing to his own tune--tap dancing. Though Mumble’s mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, his dad, Memphis, says it “just ain’t penguin.” Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong.
