| Awesome! |
I'm not a fan of animated movies. As a matter of fact I think they are silly. That has a lot to do with the fact that I'm not a kid anymore. None the less I saw the film and liked it. It's really one of the few animated films that I think the whole family will enjoy. If you're not taking your teen daughter to see Twilight this movie is for you. That's if you have kids of course.
STORY
EEK! What can I say about this? I don't even think that this film has a plot. The movie starts with a fun routine before we learn that Mumble, played be Elijah Wood, has grown up and now has a kid. His son wonders off with Robin Williams character and meets up with a few friends. This worries Mumbles for a moment but quickly finds them. They all have to return to their iceberg to finish their travels. Too bad their iceberg has succumb to a wave and needs to be rescued. They enlist some friends to help but it seems to be a lost cause. Can the penguins find their way back home or will they be stuck forever. Here's a little spoiler for you so don't read if you don't want to be spoiled. Ok?
I'm warning you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of them can fly!
ACTING
This movie was fun to watch due to all the good actors involved. Everyone had chemistry and it sounded like they were having fun. Robin Williams is his crazy self and keeps the film flowing. I loved the interactions between Elijah and Pink. They seemed so cute together. Overall the acting here is just adorable.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
The special effects here are breathtaking. The 3D is a must see here. It rivals Rango with its crisp detail and scenery. You will love the dance routines that also came with 3D. Your kids will love this version of Happy Feet. Maybe even you.
WRITING AND DIRECTING
This film was written by George Miller and too many writers to mention. The writing here was indeed a let down. The plot is non existent and some of the dialog was just plain sad. The actors made up for it though with their ability to take crap and turn it into gold. At least George did not fail with the directing part. He was able to capture the 3D without any problems and everything flowed well. I'm still scratching my head around the plot though.
THE END
I would take the kids to see it. They will eat it up. It's a fun film to watch and nothing goes over the top. The 3D is nice and the acting is enjoyable. You can always sneak into Twilight later.
