Happy Feet (2006)




Set in an Antarctic emperor penguin colony, the film establishes that every penguin must sing a unique song (called a "Heartsong") to attract a soul mate. This is based in fact, since emperor couples court each other and recognize one another by their unique calls. One particular couple, Norma Jean and Memphis, pair up and produce an egg. The egg is left in Memphis' care while Norma Jean and the other females leave to fish for several weeks. While the males are struggling through the harsh winter, Memphis drops the egg, briefly exposing it to the freezing Antarctic temperatures. The resulting chick - the film's protagonist, Mumble - has a terrible singing voice and later discovers he has no Heartsong. However, Mumble has an astute talent for something that none of the penguins had ever seen before: tap dancing.

This ability is frowned upon by the colony's elders, who do not tolerate deviance of any kind. As a result, Mumble is ostracized throughout his childhood, with only his mother and his friend Gloria to turn to for help. Mumble then grows to a young adult, still half-covered in fluffy down. Through a series of mishaps - mainly a mad chase by a hungry leopard seal - the young penguin finds himself far from his home and within the carefree colony of the adιlies - penguins small in stature, but fiercely loyal to those they call friends. He quickly befriends a small group of bachelors who are a club of sorts called the Amigos. The Amigos quickly embrace Mumble's dance moves and assimilate him into their misfit group.

Mumble's joy at finding acceptance for his difference is cut short when strange "alien discoveries" occur; after accidentally starting an avalanche a long-frozen human excavator tumbles out from a glacier, and Mumble is intrigued. Driven by curiosity, he sets out to find answers. Tracking his way back to Emperor Land, Mumble inadvertently causes most of the colony to begin dancing while trying to impress Gloria. Noah, the elder, sees the lack of fish as punishment from the Great Guin, their god, regarding Mumble's dancing. Memphis lets out his cause to the colony. Following that, Noah then exiles Mumble from the colony, but before Mumble leaves, he vows to Noah that he will find the real cause of the famine, and travels across vast territories with the Amigos and Lovelace, a self-worshipping rockhopper. Gloria tries to help him, but Mumble, out of fear for her safety, does whatever it takes to get rid of her - namely, insulting her singing talents. After narrowly escaping a few killer whales, the birds finally come face to face with a legion of huge trawlers, all laden with fish caught around the Antarctic coast. Mumble follows after them fearlessly, leaving his friends behind to preserve his legacy.

Mumble ends up in a penguin exhibit at a marine park, and fervently tries to communicate with the "aliens" (humans) who surround him. When his pleas fail, Mumble nearly succumbs to madness after 3 months of confinement in the sterile glass prison. When a child taps on the glass wall one day, Mumble is woken from his stupor and dances in response, whereupon the child runs away. He becomes disappointed until she comes back with her mother. Soon, a large crowd gathers around the exhibit, taking pictures and phoning people. The astounded humans finally pay attention. He is released to the wild (the next scene is of him at his flock), now with less of his fluffy down feathers and a tracking device, and leads the "aliens" home to his native colony. The other penguins are now convinced the aliens do exist. Soon, a helicopter arrives with five men in orange suits. The explorers film the penguins dancing and they dance along with the rhythm (the one with the video camera falls by accident) and bring this footage back with them. Different governments debate what to make of this footage and a worldwide debate ensues. They soon realize that they are overfishing the Antarctic waters, and conclude that perhaps the penguins were trying to communicate that to them. Antarctic fishing is banned, and the fish population returns, the emperors and The Amigos dance and celebrate in their triumph. A dancing baby penguin seen at the end is implied to be the child of Mumble and Gloria.
