A Mi Manera!
At the moment: Relaxed
Seymour raps his "Heart Song" in class.
So sue me. I loved Happy Feet.
I enjoyed every minute of it for all its worth. And for people who'd tell me, "Oh come ON! It doesn't even HAVE a story!" you can just stop wasting your time and move on to another blog. It HAS a story, every movie has one. It's just differently executed from one and another. I mean seriously, what do you expect from a film like this geared towards children? Do you expect mysteries and plot twists? Give me a break. I suggest you watch Happy Feet for the sheer enjoyment it will bring you. If you want something heavy, stay away from a kiddie flicks please.
When trailers of Happy Feet aired about a year ago, Julian and I already made up our minds that we would watch it. The fact that it coincided with Casino Royale didn't affect our determination the least bit and also, the fact that the next Harry Potter movie trailer would be shown in Happy Feet trailers doesn't have anything to do with our wanting to watch it.
We're a couple of people who enjoy old school music. So when our ears flicked to the tune of Tom Jones' Kiss, we knew we were in for a treat. Penguins! For fudgecracker's sake! Penguins! Singing KISS! I was a bit iffy about the way almost every penguin looked the same and then I realized that the reason that they looked the same was that the animation was made as real as it can get. You've got to give them credit for that. The vast world of ice, the perpetually deep ocean, the humongous elephant seals... everything is all accounted for. The sizes do not betray each other, that's what makes everything look somewhat realistic. I remember my heart beating faster when that leopard seal chased him around through ice mazes, my body tensed up and I even shut my eyes in some instances. That my friends, rarely happens when I watch this kind of flick.
I was laughing my ass off with all the parodies.
Oh and the Adelie Amigos! Heaven bless those little penguins! They were the most entertaining of the bunch. I swear, the whole glorietta theatre burst into laughter with their antics. Not one person was trying to sustain their laughter. Everybody in the movie theatre guffawed to their heart's content. And of course, once again, Robin Williams proved that he is indeed a demigod when it comes to lending his voice when he lent it to not one but a couple several penguins including Lovelace the penguin pimp and Ramon who sang A Mi Manera (My Way to the rest of us) with so much gusto.
Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Britanny Murphy and Elijah Wood are other big names in this movie. I am pretty sure Nicole Kidman sang her part of KISS but I'm not so sure with Jackman. Did he? Really? I can hardly believe he's up for that but if he did, then I would love him all the more than I already do right now!
