Sukhdev Sandhu Daily Telegraph (UK) 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. Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Joshua Land Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review David Edelstein New York Magazine/Vulture You should see Happy Feet -- not only because it's stupendous, but also because it features the best dancing you'll see on the screen this year. Jun 29, 2007 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) George Miller’s film boogies its way through an entertaining tale. Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Steve Martin said it best, 'I'm getting Happy Feet!' Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens A surefire Oscar contender, come on and join the fun! All singing! All dancing! All penguins! Come 'on and get happy!

Audience Member I like the dancing penguin movie. It's well-animated, has decent pacing and an intriguing setting and message. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Chrizzle u Really takes you on a roller coaster in this tale! I think what makes this movie great is how every element complimented each other ! The Music, Characters, and even shockingly the plot was very nice. I also loved the message about penguins extinction! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Lego A This movie Is UNDERRATED As HELL!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe there might be a longer review to write about one day It’s just this movie astonishes me so much!!!!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Ryland C One thing I can say about Happy Feet is that there is no plot! It starts adorable with the movie being about a baby penguin trying to fit in but then that story is forgotten about entirely! Now the movie focuses on story after story and it’s just that. THERE IS NO STORY! THEREFORE IT IS NOT A MOVIE!!!! One good thing I can say is the voice acting was pretty good. Elijah Wood was great, as well as Robin Williams and Hugh Jackman! But besides that, Happy Feet sucks ass. DEFINITELY NOT AN OSCAR WIN!!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Adrian E An mid movie that should've not win an Oscar Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Aiden M Movies just like me not fitting in like other people just like how the main character doesn't fit in the every penguin thing that they do That's literally I love this movie I love Robin Williams I love every cast member that was in this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
