Mumble uses courage, determination and his happy feet to discover the truth, save Emperor Land and win the heart of his soulmate, Gloria (Murphy). Emperor penguins have lived for centuries with one simple goal in life: to find their soulmates through their own unique heart song. Still, to this day, the scene where Mumble and his Williams-infused buddies meet face-to-face with a pair of orcas remains one of my favorite pieces of realistic computer animation in cinema. Among the DVD's special features is a scene that was cut from the film where Mumble meets a blue whale and an Albatross.

The site's consensus reads, "Visually dazzling, with a thoughtful storyline and catchy musical numbers, Happy Feet marks a successful animated debut from the makers of Babe.

Among the DVD's special features is a scene that was cut from the film where Mumble meets a blue whale and an albatross while pursuing the fishing boat. Happy Feet" may suffer from a few flaws, not the least of which its (at times) plodding pace and its neat and tidy happy ending. The tap-dancing for Mumble in particular was provided by Savion Glover who was also co-choreographer for the dance sequences.With no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model, Mumble gives up all hope of passing his passion onto his son. Most of the supplemental features available are mostly geared towards children, only sporting one or two add-ons that'll spark adult interest.

He has no ability to sing as the other penguins do, although he has a different talent, tap dancing. That might be one of the reasons that Happy Feet fails to resonate with some; instead of the off-kilter charm that, say, the clown fish Marlin from Finding Nemo or Sid the Sloth from Ice Age give off, Happy Feet's animation inches so close to realism that it sucks away some of those chances at caricaturist pairings between vocal talent and visual identification.

Meanwhile his feet do all the talking in tippety, tappety, hippety, hoppety groovy funkadelic style. As to be expected, Happy Feet becomes a discovery story that revolves around Mumble as he finds his place within the Emperor penguin community.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. Without a shadow of a doubt, each and every ounce of work put into capturing the environment with a realistic eye can be felt.
