Happy Feet starts off normal and in a way that you'd expect. Penguins in the Antarctica go on with their lives and a newborn penguin called Mumble is introduced. Within this penguin society, singing is everything, if you can't sing, you're a nobody and you cannot find a mate. Due to reasons before he was born, Mumble is a horrid singer, on the contrary, he has a gift with his feet. Throughout the movie, he travels around Antarctica and is shunned by his fellow penguins. Happy Feet also touches upon human impact upon the penguin's natural habitat, including melting ice caps from global warming and overfishing leading to a shortage of fish for the penguins. Mumble ends up being the savior by communicating to the humans, leading them to reduce their fishing. The way that this was done was highly exaggerated and this made the ending hard to believe. It stained the rest of the movie and did not feel in line with what came before it. The rest of the movie can be boring at times but there are some fantastic underwater sequences and the scenes where Mumble slides through the ice were breathtaking. In the end, Happy Feet communicates more than what you would expect, but the message can be muddled up at times.
