January 28, 2012Happy Feet promise a lot... but don't is one of the most great animated movie.
-
January 20, 2012An all singing, all dancing film that just oozes cuteness. Happy Feet is creative with an adorable storyline, that puts a little smile on your face. Slightly different to a lot of the feature length cartoons and the music gives it a modern feel.

November 25, 2011fb733768972This may not be a kids classic in any way, but in my opinion, it is a fun ride to take once. As mumble faces the fears of growing up with a disorder that no other penguin can understand, he goes off to meet new animals outside of his species. He feels like there is more to life t... read more

November 4, 2011Happy Feet was really heartwarming and the story had been given a lot of thought to it and it worked. The voice cast perform brilliantly and it was generally funny. My only criticism is that Happy Feet's first act was a bit boring. I would have prefered Surf's Up to win the Acade... read more

August 24, 2011To be honest this movie was cute, but I did not particularly enjoy it. I think too many kids movies are trying like hell to achieve the subtle adult/child humour that Shrek mastered way back at the beginning of the decade. Happy Feet failed, bringing half hearted characters to li... read more

August 8, 2011Okay, this movie is good, but not tremendous. Good story, characters, and music. Amazing animation too. But a little boring at times, and I think giving it Best Animated Feature was a bad choice.

Was I enchanted, entertained or even diverted for its 108-minute running time? Not really. Full Review

I think kids will love it, because the penguins are cute. Full Review

Happy Feet is the kind of musical comedy that might have swept the world if MGM had been based in Antarctica instead of Culver City. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The dazzling animation, catchy songs and Broadway-worthy dance numbers give the film even broader appeal. Full Review

Imagine March of the Penguins with a pop soundtrack. Or maybe An Inconvenient Truth with Al Gore doing his best Donald O'Connor impression. It's quite the mash-up, as intended, and it's cooler than a ... Full Review

Don't little ones have enough to worry about without ecological concerns popping up in family entertainment? Happy Feet should have stayed light on its feet. Full Review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Happy Feet offers dazzling cinematic family fun, and a mad medley of tunes (songs made famous by the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Earth, Wind & Fire, Queen, and Stevie Wonder, among others).

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
The production numbers are delightful, but the musical fun is marooned in clichéd storytelling. Full Review
