Synopsis: Happy Feet Two returns audiences to the magnificent landscape of Antarctica in superb 3D. Mumble, The Master of Tap, has a problem because his tiny son, Erik, is choreo-phobic. Reluctant to dance, Erik runs away and encounters The Mighty Sven-a penguin who can fly! Mumble has no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model. But things get worse when the world is shaken by powerful forces. Erik learns of his father's "guts and grit" as Mumble brings together the penguin nations and all manner of fabulous creatures-from tiny Krill to giant Elephant Seals-to put things right. -- (C) Warner Bros

Critic Reviews

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
    For all the noise and flapping, the movie, like its heroes, remains flightless.
  • Kyle Smith, New York Post
    Happy Feet was one of the greatest and most original animated films, but the sequel can't even decide what it's about for the first 40 minutes.
  • Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
    We get a feeling we've seen it all before.
  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
    The gotta-move protagonist of the first animated, Antarctica-set feature -- a misfit young Emperor penguin named Mumble -- returns for the sequel. Only this time he's all grown up... and a lot less fun.
  • Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
    The film reminds viewers young and old that to make a positive change, sometimes the little guy at the bottom of the food chain needs to stomp his feet.
  • Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter
    Other than commercially, more is less in this antic, not so funny sequel to the 2006 blockbuster.
  • Adam Graham, Detroit News
    The disjointed, undercooked sequel to the Oscar-winning 2006 hit aims to tell life lessons and celebrate pop music, but this would-be toe-tapper is curiously out of step.
  • Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
    Much like its Oscar-winning predecessor, the story focuses on lads and dads, though there are strong mama figures and daughters, too.
  • William Goss, Film.com
    Follows in the original's footsteps on a more reasonable scale while sparing audiences an emotional ambush.
  • Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
    It's hard to resist dancing penguins, but "Happy Feet Two" may make you want to try.
