Happy Feet Movie Trailer

November 14th 2006 05:42

Happy Feet is an Australian-produced computer-animated film, directed by George Miller. Due for the U.S. release on November 17, 2006, and Australian release on Boxing Day. It is being produced at Sydney-based visual effects and animation studio Animal Logic for Warner Bros and Village Roadshow Pictures. This will be the first animated feature film produced by Kennedy Miller in association with Animal Logic. It will also be Steve Irwin's last film.

The film was to be simultaneously released in both conventional theatres and in IMAX 3D format, but Warner Bros has since announced that, due to time constraints, the initial IMAX release will be 2D only. The studio hinted that a future IMAX 3D release was still a possibility.

Set in an Antarctic emperor penguin colony, the film begins with the premise that every penguin must sing a unique song to attract a soul mate. Mumble, the son of Memphis and Norma Jean, is a terrible singer. He discovers a talent for tap dancing, however, which develops with him into adolescence. The other penguins do not approve of this, and he is eventually exiled from the community. He finds friendship in five small Adelie penguins and one Rockhopper penguin.

Many sequences and plot devices in the film are similar to those in the French documentary La Marche de l'empereur (aka March of the Penguins), released in 2005, because they both follow the natural history of the penguins' lives. Despite the similarities, both films were in production before details of either were announced. Happy Feet was partially inspired by earlier documentaries such as the BBC's Life in the Freezer.

The first teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released with this movie.

Genre: Comedy / Family
Directed by: George Miller
Produced by: George Miller, Doug Mitchell, Bill Miller
Written by: Warren Coleman, John Collee, George Miller, Judy Morris
Starring: Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving, Steve Irwin
Distributed by: Warner Bros., Village Roadshow Pictures
Release date: USA - November 17th, 2006; Australia - December 26th, 2006; UK - December 8th, 2006.
Runtime: 98 mins
Rating: USA - PG; mild peril and rude humour
