Happy Feet Reviews

John Campea 35 Comments

The early Happy Feet review are out (you can see Sharon’s here) and they’re looking pretty good. I’ve been VERY excited about this film for a long time, and I can’t remember the last time I was looking forward to a non-Pixar 3d animated movie.

Here is what some of the critics are saying in their Happy Feet reviews:

Tuneful and soulful in equal measure, this animated all-penguin musical is terrific fun.
Kirk Honeycutt – Hollywood Reporter

There’s nothing comfortable about Happy Feet. It’s brave and heartfelt, a surprising cinematic accomplishment.
Joshua Tyler – CinemaBlend.com

Easily the best animated film of the year.
Christy Lemire – Associated Press

Music is fantabulous, acting solid, animation dynamic — from cute to powerful in 0.5 seconds. This is what going to the movies is all about — and I don’t even have kids!
Ross Anthony – Hollywood Report Card

As of this moment, the Happy Feet Reviews are holding a strong 84% over at rotten tomatoes. This film could give Bond a real run for it’s money this weekend. We’ll have to wait and see.

  16. Erm whats wrong with being pro environmentalist or pro liberal? It was entertaining and taught kids some good things. Tbh the anti religions themes were great teaching the kids not to believe every bible story, equally rediculous as the ones from the penquin elders, forced down their throat by their parents.

  17. OMG! The movies about Penguins for god’s sake! You damn religious fanatics should learn to stop shoving your views down people’s faces and just accept that there are (GASP! God forbid!) different views in the world! What’s wrong with throwing your wrappers in the garbage anyway? OMG No! Thinking that garbage doesn’t belong in the streets makes me a baaad environmentalist!

  18. What are you talking about? My husband and I went to see Happy Feet. We saw no “hidden messages” What anti-religious message???????? And “pro-environmental messages” guess I missed thoes too. But who isn’t pro-environmental? Do you not recycle?

    This movie was sweet, adorable, and family friendly. Sometimes, people look for things that just arent there. And where in the heck were there gay messages?

    If you dont like the show, change the channel, if you dont like the book, dont read it. If you dont the (fill in the blank) dont buy it. But, do not tell me I am wrong if I do so. I support everyones right to free speech, even if I dont support what they say. But, we would all be better off if everyone that people choose for themselves.

  19. i sooo did not like this movie i had herd soooo many good things about it but when me and some friends went to see it we all wanted to leave it was very stupid and the story line sucked go see something else

  20. Upon reflection, the fact that the movie is anti-religious, pro-environmental propaganda is not half as offensive as the intentional concealment of this. Not one of the ads alludes to the anti-religious bigotry being proffered. I think part of the reason that the environmental proselytizing is so offensive is because what can a child do? It reminds me of when I was a child and the schools taught that we should cut up six-pack rings so the dolphins wouldn’t die –as if the real solution wasn’t ceasing to dump trash into oceans.

    As for the offensive nature of the hispanic aspects, the hispanics behind me seemed to find the movie too funny, especially the “latina!” parts.

  23. This was TOTALLY propaganda. It should have been “flushed away”. My husband and I could deal with the offensive sexual innuendo, as it went over our kids’ heads. But then it got into trying to give a message which is SO bad and SO INTOLERANT, and it just became disjointed and scary. The kids were not impressed.

    So now we have to censor G rated movies?

    However, I think a majority of our kids are too smart to be taken in by these anti religious zealots. I have to believe in our children, our future.

    Just an amazing extreme. This movie rivals Nazis in its propaganda appeal. Great visuals and perverted hidden message.

    God help us all!

  24. I just went with my wife and our two children to see this and was totally disappointed. The James Bond movie would have been better for my kids than this piece of garbage! The worst thing about this movie is how dishonest the advertising is. Being lied to and deceived is supposed to influence me to protect the environment. My wife walked out of the movie and she felt like she had been beaten over the head by an environmentalist! Stay away from this film.

  25. It was truly propaganda, and I felt disgusted throughout the second half of the movie.
    I can’t believe that some people do praise this movie as “year’s best animated film.”
    Also, I found it insulting toward Hispanics since it was making fun of their way of speaking English as well as genelarizing the population.

    Indeed, ‘Happy Feet’ is the most biased, narrow-minded, and shameful movie I’ve ever seen.

  26. Don’t waste your money on this enviromental wacko film. It was difficult to follow especially when I spent half of the movie explaining why humans suck and how George Michal is not a good music listening choice to my seven year old girl. yawner.

  27. The first half of this movie was heavy charged with sexual innuendo for a children’s movie. Around the middle they skipped into anti-religious undertones. And by the end they took the one thing that was special about the lead character and made it common place for every character. How long would it take you to learn to tap dance.

  28. Prediction: Happy Feet is a complete loss – won’t be in the top ten next weekend. Visit the reveiw pages on Yahoo – kid’s movies seldom last once the parents start talking – and this thing is a piece of crap. So bad I think it gave me cancer!

  29. I have yet to see this movie, but from what I’m hearing, maybe I should just go see bond instead? If the kids don’t understand it…HOW THE HELL ARE WE? hahaha..

  30. Gag me with a message. And why won’t Robin Williams just fade away? Disney sell-out. Even the kids were confused. And yet, it was truly beautiful visually.

  31. Even if this movie doesn’t become the #1 movie this weekend it doesn’t matter. This movie is going to stay inn the theatres until New Years. It’s family movie with penguins parents can’t afford to not have this see this movie with their kids. It’s too cute, too well animated, and too musical!
