Mumble (Elijah Wood) the penguin, now called the Master of Tap, has an unusual problem: Erik, his son, is reluctant to dance. Erik runs away from home and encounters the Mighty Sven (Hank Azaria) -- a penguin that can fly. Poor Mumble can't compete with Erik's unusual new role model. But, when the world is shaken by powerful forces, Erik gets a chance to see his father's true colors as Mumble gathers all creatures great and small to set things right again.

Critics Consensus

The animation is as eye-popping as ever, but Happy Feet Two's narrative is too noisily incoherent to recapture the Oscar-winning charm of its predecessor.

But I liked how subtle Miller and company's handling of their Global Warming and Climate Change message was this time, how they don't hit the viewer over the head with their proselytizing.

Rated: 3/4

While 'Happy Feet' focused on the tap-dancing Emperor Penguin named Mumble... this one spends more time with his little son Erik... who is simply irresistible. If one agrees that penguins in general are cute, Erik ups the ante considerably.

Preaches acceptance but requires assimilation. You dance or you die. Join the party, swim with the swarm.

Will have you mumbling along with Mumbles, Gloria, and their new son Erik as you and your kids leave the theatre.

I was a fan of that original, but this one is pointless. The biggest problem is the story, if you want to call it that, which is flimsy at best.

Rated: C-

Happy Feet Two is the kind of movie that won't make you scream in pain while you're watching it, and that won't prompt you to remember much about it once it's over.

Rated: C+

Happy feet 2 was kinda mid. Not horrible, but not very good. The first movie was better.

"Happy Feet Two" starts with an inexplicable retcon regarding Mumble and Gloria, and the former's parents are also mysteriously nowhere to be found. It is a little odd that the movie doesn't care enough to address these issues, however elsewhere it brings back the cuteness, positivity and great animation of the original and pairs them with a more focused, meat-and-potatoes premise and tighter script, which also includes a fun subplot starring two krill voiced by Matt Damon and a great Brad Pitt.
