Earnest messages about bad climate change and good parenting skills have been replaced by a we-all-share-a-planet sense of fun that's more "Finding Nemo" than National Geographic. Read full review

This new round of toe-tapping musical numbers from the penguin population is shot in eye-poppingly gorgeous 3D. Read full review

For me, Happy Feet Two is pretty thin soup. The animation is bright and attractive, the music gives the characters something to do, but the movie has too much dialogue in the areas of philosophy and analysis. Read full review

Even with the addition of new characters, such as the ones voiced by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, George Miller's animated sequel just isn't very funny. Read full review

Although appealing to look at, Happy Feet Two is noisy, busy, and unable to spark much emotional involvement in the viewer other than fear for the characters' well-being and a touch of existential angst by way of a couple of krill. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

The movie's bereftness of invention can be measured by how no story element builds on another. Instead, Happy Feet Two is plotted so that a bunch of disparate things happen, until it's time to end the movie. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. think people are being way too harsh on this movie. Some critics refused to look deeper because this is not your usual type of kiddie animation film. I am actually shocked at reading some of the scathing reviews.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am gonna give this one an 8/10. This Happy Feet movie was not as good as the first one. The intro was a bit sappy and not great for attention grabbing but I was impressed a bit later in the film. It did have some great humor so I will give it that but this Sven character is just stupid and lame and this film would have done awesome without him. I also don't understand how that iceberg that blocks Emperor Land for most of the film manages to get from the water all the way over there and through the thick snow and ice along the way that makes absolutely no sense. However there was some better music in this one than the first one like Erik's Opera which he sings to the elephant seals and then there is Under Pressure that they all sing when the Adelie penguins and elephant seals are all working to break down the giant iceberg that is probably my favorite scene in the whole movie. I just thought this movie would be as awesome as the first one and even though it isn't quite up there it is still pretty good I have definitely seen worse.… Expand

Isn't it sad when a movie you really enjoyed gets a sequel and you find yourself not enjoying the sequel nearly as much? Such is the case with "Happy Feet Two," a sequel that isn't really bad, just uninspired in comparison to the previous film.

Such is the case with "Happy Feet Two," a sequel that isn't really bad, just uninspired in comparison to the previous film. It's well-animated and it even has a few heartwarming moments, but it's not as well-written, the characters aren't as memorable, and it's just not as exciting. It's certainly a great film for children, but I'm not sure who else to recommend it to. If you enjoyed the first film a lot, you'll probably be disappointed by this one. All I can say is keep your expectations tempered if you really want to get some enjoyment out of "Happy Feet Two."… Expand

I thought Happy Feet 2 was a good success, but I agree with the critics because I just don't want to waste too many tickets to see the movie. The musical numbers were something familiar and I think it's a mash-up between pop and hip-hop that resemblance many great artists.

I'm very disappointed at Warner Bros. because I thought they should've released Happy Feet 2 on DVD although the scenes were a little too dark for kids and families and so I should spent my time see Alvin and the Chipmunks already. But just like "Cars 2," "Happy Feet 2" is a total misfire. I'm sad to say that "Happy Feet 2" is one of the biggest disappointments of the 2011.… Expand

Seemed like they tried to hard to make this one good. They tried to be more cute with part 2, it seemed like to me. Plus there's so many penguins that it's hard to know who's who.
