Happy Feet

I didn't think i would enjoy a film about penguins, not a documentary or even an animated film, but as soon as Happy Feet started, i was tapping my feet.

Its a colourful show of singing penguins, apart from one, Mumble (Elijah Wood) who compensates by the fact that he can dance. This sets him apart from the crowd.

I enjoyed this film and the story it tells about tolerance, individualism, talent and also touches on the subject of environment.

Even though my son has never listed to tracks by Prince, Sinatra, Beach Boys, John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, Freddie Mercury and others, he enjoyed the film and the songs. He asked questions and remained focused with the story.
