Happy Feet Two Review

If you can remember a few years back, Mad Max director George Miller released an original family film that brought together some music from recent era's. The film was called Happy Feet, Which told the story of young penguin Mumble who had the gift of Happy Feet (Dance) in a world where Penguins must sing to find their soul mate.

Well thanks to the success of the film, Mumble and friends return for this delightful sequel and this time he has company. After the events of the first film, Mumble has taught the whole of his flock how to dance and even has a son called Erick. When Erick realizes he can't dance and sets out to find what his gift is, Mumble goes after him and his cousins however everything goes wrong when an iceberg traps the flock of penguins without food. In a huge rescue attempt, Mumble, Erick and friends set out to rescue their loved ones before it is too late.

The film retains the same originality and fun of the first film while also bringing in more recent songs that all members of the family should know. The Cast includes old and new members including Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings), Robin Williams (Jumanji), Hugo Weaving (Captain America), P!nk (Get him to the Greek), Brad Pitt (Megamind), Matt Damon (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarrion) & Hank Azaria (The Smurfs).  The Songs include Rawhide (Blues Brothers), Under Pressure (Queen) & We are the Champions (Queen) to name a few. All in all, Happy Feet Two is just as good as the original and definitley one family film to watch. ****
