THE “MOULIN ROUGE” IN ANTARCTICA

HAPPY FEET

Chill my man!!! It’s so cool amigo !!!!

Whoa!!! The best animated film of 2006 for me !
I’ve seen Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, The Wild, Over The Hedge, Cars, Monster House, Open Season but I yet have to watch Barnyard coz I missed it and Flushed Away is coming soon. I think those animations from big studios are vying for Oscar nomination. My top 3? Cars , Monster House and Happy Feet. Who will win??? Hands down or I must say feet up for Warner Brothers’ HAPPY FEET!!!

What’s great about Happy Feet is the story. It’s a story about a young penguin called Mumble voiced by Elijah Wood who doesn’t have a heartsong which is necessary to all penguins in their tribe in order to find someone’s love. All he has is his powerful and weird tap dancing. The rest of the story ??? Just watch the film and find your heartsong.

The animation is dazzling. It’s better than Pixar or Dreamworks. You must spend your dough on this at the big screen for the detailed and realistic looking CGI. Highly recommended scenes are of course (skip this if you still want some excitement it may spoil you) the singing and dancing penguins, the leopard seal attack, the winter storm, the elephant seals, the killer whales, and the graduation fish party. You’ll love those scenes.

George Miller, who co-wrote, produced and directed Happy Feet brings the same ingenuity, energy, and sacred style to this animated feature as he did to Babe. He has incorporated so many artistic elements into the story that it conjures me. There is the electrifying music, which includes pop, funk, opera, hip hop, R&B, rock, gospel, and Latin. I guarantee if you loved the Moulin Rouge, American Idol or even Grammy Awards performances then you must watch this!!! You will sing and dance with the penguins!!! I didn’t know that tap dancing is such a good thing to do. By the way Gloria rocks!!!!!!! (voiced by Brittany Murphy ) The song she sang is still in my head… somebody to love……… Hats off too to the magnificent and hilarious Robin Williams as Ramon and Lovelace , the captivating voice by Nicole Kidman as Norma Jean, Mumble’s mom and the Elvis-acting dad Memphis voiced by Hugh Jackman. Clever cast ensemble.

Of course prepare your hanky coz you might shed a tear. Honestly I did. I couldn’t explain why maybe because I was attached so much to Mumble’s character.

There’s an inspiring message too in this film. Watch out for that.

Bring your kids or the whole family. Watch it with your barkada. Watch it with your bf/gf.
Highly recommended you will love this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WARNING : YOU MAY TAP DANCE WHILE WATCHING THE FILM !!!
