Happy Feet!

5 stars

12 Jun 2019

Happy Feet is a film about penguins and their lifestyle in this case Mumble is the main and the most heroic character in this movie. This film shows the risk of pollution and what it can lead to during the future, followed with fishing too much in the sea which leads to penguins not eating enough and soon dying of starvation as there are no more fish to feed on.

It all starts off with Memphis (Father) trying to survive his best to keep the egg safe through the snow storm while Norma (Mother) goes away for six months to catch fish for the new baby. During surviving the storm, Memphis drops the egg on accident which makes Mumble different to the others not able to sing like the other penguins to find true love but can dance which other penguins said was not a real penguin.

Mumble was excluded from graduation parties because he couldn’t sing. Gloria, had the most beautiful soft voice and became famous out of the colony of emperor penguins which Mumble had a crush on. The elder penguin is the ruler of the colony, but not a very kind ruler. He banished Mumble to be a wild penguin of his own kind.

I won’t tell you anymore of this story but there’s the beginning. It was really sad at times but enjoyable too! I really liked this movie. It shows that different can be unique and doesn’t always mean bad and that you get picked on. Always be yourself
