The commercials were very misleading. They made the penguins seem cute and psychotic like the ones from Madagascar. In reality, this movie was just a two hour snore-fest that was pieced together and was full of many plot gaps.

I don't think this film is about whether one is liberal or not. I'm very liberal and I thought this movie was garbage just because everything about it was horrible. The little kids in the theater didn't laugh once!

I love animation, but Happy Feet was shallow, poorly written, and it's sound was the worst I've heard on any film in a decade; slurred and indecipherable. What junk!

20 mintutes into the film, my 4 year old daughter asked, "Mommy, are you sure this is Happy Feet? It's so sad." There was no connection or empathy for the characters, and the storyline was all over the place.

This movie was painful to sit though. If not for my young daughter I would have walked out. Horrible voice work, goofy premise and clumsy handling of the issues.

Is it just me, or was anyone else a little uncomfortable with sexual inuendos in a kids movie? Do we really need penguins to explain sex to our youth (this is the second time, by the way)?

Do we really need penguins to explain sex to our youth (this is the second time, by the way)? I guess I could put up with these squirm-inducing moments if a decent story could be fasioned, but this doesn't happen. Another movie celebrating uniqueness, super. And there are no loveable characters that kids movies demand. Worst kids movie I've seen in a while, and we'll probably see a sequel, since the ever so wise Academy saw it necessary to grant it an Oscar.… Expand

Totally GAY. this movie really blew hard! I though i was in a gay penguin bar when I heard the soundtrack (did they play "I will Survive"?). I think Robbin Williams is trying to recruit children over to the gay side. with this one. yea yea Totally GAY. this movie really blew hard!

(unless you dream of hooking up with a gay penguin boy) the footage should be burned.… Expand

I normally LOVE animated kids movies like this and, after the amazing reviews I heard for it, I expected this movie to rock. It didn't. It was awful.

It didn't. It was awful. Maybe it's because I'm an adult and this movie is made for 1 year olds, but I just did NOT get why anyone would like this film! I only enjoyed this movie and laughed once, and that was when a small group of penguins meet Mumble for the first time and offer the ONLY interesting characters. I hated it, don't even rent it.… Expand

What a disappointment. Don't believe the critics' reviews, this is absolutely awful. I enjoy most animated movies and see all of them, but this was by far the worst.

Yet another CGI kids film. Each new one they churn out goes through the exact same formula. One of which being the cast. For some reason Hollywood think that having really famous actors who haven't done voice work before will be good in Yet another CGI kids film. Each new one they churn out goes through the exact same formula. One of which being the cast. For some reason Hollywood think that having really famous actors who haven't done voice work before will be good in these roles. It seems like each new CGI animated film that comes out, each one is trying to best the other in terms of cast. They play "Who's got the biggest number of celebrities?" and the one with the most usually gets the biggest box office gross.… Expand

I'm as pro-environment as they come, but this movie was boring, creepy (uncanny valley much?) and just not at all fun to watch. I don't understand why it got critical acclaim.

Good graphics? Erm, this is like any other computer animated film - so that doesn't carry this overly-preachy and hardly-entertaining dud.

Ok, 1st, the storyline was trash. A penguin is born, and in this ridiculous world the producers threw together, penguins are supposed to sing.(what?) But mumble, the penguin, dances instead.(what?) So then he get thrown out of the village and he is somehow compelled to tell humans to stop stealing their fish.(what?) So to ensure the story made even less sense, they threw in characters like lovelace, who have nothing to do with the story at all. Oh, and he gets choked later(Wha-a-a-at?). But to ensure the film was even stupider, they bring you non-animated humans in an animated movie. Nice job, I bet you could get a nick jr. liscense with that! Oh yeah, and the humans dance at the end.(What the-!?) Did that make any sense to you? I bet it didn't. It attempted to be funny, but no. The only remotely funny, or entertaining part at that, were the Spanish penguins. And they lasted about 1/8 of the movie. Come on! So with that information, stay away from this movie, or prepare to have 2 hours (or less) of your life to get sucked out of you. I'll go lay down now.… Expand

Happy Feet is the story of Mumble and how he never fits in. Well, it sucked. extremely blatant, it had good effects in all but it was stupid. The humor is weak (I never laughed once). The display of penguins is less fun, and more corky and Happy Feet is the story of Mumble and how he never fits in. Well, it sucked. extremely blatant, it had good effects in all but it was stupid. The humor is weak (I never laughed once). The display of penguins is less fun, and more corky and serious. But this film is for the little kids. This is definitely not suitable. It has content that is innuendo-relaed, sexually-related, and absolutely innapropriate. It also was very disturbing for the younger viewers. And having the humans involved was just lame, at first it was about Mumble trying to prove something, then its all about humans giving penguins the freedom in survival. You can see why it had won the Oscar for best animated film of the year. Its subject is quite big, and it is entertaining, fun, and full of adventure. And they try to base it on the facts of March of the Penguins, but most of us don't care about that. From my opinion, this movie is serious, and not any fun. Overall, it could have been so much better. too make up for this, go see surf's Up, its a great family flick, a lovable and hilarious film. And that movie just makes this one look even worse.… Expand
