Happy Feet, the full of action film, was amazing how it used penguins singing and then one little one (Mumble) was the only one who danced. It shows how different people can be and why we shouldn't treat people differently if they're not the same as us. This film astounded me at how the life of a different penguin could be changed if there is no food. George Miller had a flabbergasting idea that turned into a miracle film. Simply gobsmacking.

My favourite character from the film was Mumble due to the fact that he was courageous, kind hearted and full of fun. He tackled a monster ( orca) that was at least 10 times bigger than him, to protect his family and their food. Will he die? Will he survive? Those sort of questions kept popping into my head at that point. Also ,something heroic that he did, was save Lovelace from choking on litter that we (the people in this film) dropped. It makes you think hard about how we could improve the world. George Miller has shown us how we could help animals (penguins) in an already spectacular film. Mumble is portrayed by the director as sweet, kind and unique no matter how much he gets teased, he never notices or minds.

Elijah Wood, the actor who played mumble did a really great job at knowing What mumble was like, using all vocal expressions and making a fake ear piercing scream (kind of) when Mumble sings. Great job Elijah.

All in all, I think that this film is entertaining.
