Happy Feet - DVD

Product Information

It retells the condensed story of Happy Feet with the help of 3D projection and sensory effects, including moving seats, wind, mist and scents. Such un-penguin-like behaviour eventually gets Mumble kicked out of Emperor Land and into the big, cold world. Mumble exhaustingly pursues it alone, eventually washing up on the shore of Florida, where he is rescued and kept at Sea World with Magellanic penguins.

For "Happy Feet," it is to dare to be different - embrace your natural gifts and talents no matter how strange they may seem to your peers, your family, and your community leaders. Meanwhile his feet do all the talking in tippety, tappety, hippety, hoppety groovy funkadelic style. Each penguin is born with a certain knack for singing and each must find his or her own unique song on the path to adult penguinhood. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.Though primarily a computer-animated film, the film does incorporate motion capture of live action humans in certain scenes. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria (Brittany Murphy), happens to be the best singer around.

He discovers that his talents lie in his feet, with his ability to tap dance like nothing the others have ever seen. This widescreen DVD features a 16:9 anamorphic transfer which preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2. The score by John Powell complements these pop numbers, and sets a suitable mood, be that excitement, reckless abandon, despondence, happiness or love.The tap-dancing for Mumble in particular was provided by Savion Glover who was also co-choreographer for the dance sequences. It's a totally charming, sometimes hilarious, sometimes sentimental film that also has a strong ecological message that young viewers find easy to understand, and a whole host of positive values such as tolerance and accepting differences. According to Miller, the environmental message was not a major part of the original script, but "In Australia, we're very, very aware of the ozone hole," he said, "and Antarctica is literally the canary in the coal mine for this stuff. Inside our copy, with a funky festive sparkly snowflake-covered slipcase featuring Mumble in a Santa hat, we also had a voucher for a "kids go free" offer at Sealife centres/sanctuaries.
