This is without a doubt, the worst film I have ever seen. I have literally never hated anything as much as this abomination. I hated not just every second of this film, but every millisecond. This film was mind-blowingly horrible in every conceivable way, and had absolutely no redeeming qualities to speak of. If you want a good animated film about the environment, try the rather good Pixar film; Wall-E.

I enjoyed the movie, it did not seem rational in the least bit but entertaining nonetheless. I do however have a question for all you who did watch this movie with such scrutiny, what does ramon mouth at the end of the movie once they are done singing? at the very end once the song and dance is done ramon says something under his breath. I was just curious to see if anyone knew.

Happy Feet is the story of Mumble and how he never fits in. Well, it sucked. extremely blatant, it had good effects in all but it was stupid. The humor is weak (I never laughed once). The display of penguins is less fun, and more corky and serious. But this film is for the little kids. This is definitely not suitable. It has content that is innuendo-relaed, sexually-related, and absolutely innapropriate. It also was very disturbing for the younger viewers. And having the humans involved was just lame, at first it was about Mumble trying to prove something, then its all about humans giving penguins the freedom in survival. You can see why it had won the Oscar for best animated film of the year. Its subject is quite big, and it is entertaining, fun, and full of adventure. And they try to base it on the facts of March of the Penguins, but most of us don't care about that. From my opinion, this movie is serious, and not any fun. Overall, it could have been so much better. too make up for this, go see surf's Up, its a great family flick, a lovable and hilarious film. And that movie just makes this one look even worse.

This movie is full of Racial propaganda. All the "cool" penguins had African/American and Latin overtones and accents while all the nasty penguins that gave them a hard time had Scottish (White) dialects. Then we wonder why our kinds form racial prejudices.

Broken up storyline, bad character development, music without any relevance, conformistic, and in the end boring beyond believe

Worst movie ever, I did not like it. They rushed through it too much, he was a kid for like 10 minutes.

What was this. More of CSI than Happy dancing.
