Miller ensures that a conceit - dancing penguins! - that might have seemed best left to the jokey attachments that clog up email inboxes is supple enough to carry a sardonic parable about the hypocrisy of Western consumers. Go to Full Review

Anderson A @Anderson47474 4d Clássico, e trás uma mensagem importantíssima sobre preservação das geleiras e dos hábitats, uma animação linda que chega até mesclar com atores reais. 7.5 See more Elaine F @Elafrican14 6d Desde una perspectiva evaluativa, Happy Feet representa una apuesta creativa arriesgada, que priorizó transmitir un mensaje con conciencia social por encima de seguir fórmulas comerciales tradicionales. Aunque esta decisión limitó su impacto en ciertos sectores de la audiencia, fortaleció su valoración crítica y le permitió diferenciarse dentro del género de animación.

It's not perfect, but if you’re bored or looking for a movie to watch, I’d recommend it. It has a pretty good story, but not something too crazy.
