'Happy Feet' dances to the top

What could be better than a movie about dancing animated penguins caught in an epic struggle for survival? That's right -- absolutely nothing.

Happy Feet successfully combines child-friendly premises and complicated special effects with sophisticated jokes and underlying environmental activist ideas, making it appropriate for adults as well as its target audience.

In the world of the Emperor penguins, a bird is nothing without his or her heart song. Into this vicious, arcticly cold world, Mumble Happy Feet is born. Dropped on his head as an egg (literally), Mumble loses his ability to sing (which he brutally learns on his first day of school), but he can tap dance like nobody's business.

Ostracized from the penguin society because of this deficiency, Mumble grows up alone
