You will sing, you will dance but the ones who will actually enjoy this show are the toddlers in the cinema hall...

There are cute little penguins talking & laughing and singing & dancing, there are colours splashed all across the screen as if it’s a Rainbow and all of this is in 3D… Sounds fun, right? Well, it could’ve been and lot was expected after Happy Feat 1, but this time around,Happy Feat Two directed by George Miller, doesn’t make quiet a mark and is hardly impressive.
Eric, a little penguin is lost, confused and sad...he is the only penguin who cannot dance or sing; Poor Little Eric has two left feet! Ramon is another such penguin who is a laughing stock in their community and he decides to leave for good. Little Eric is fascinated by this idea and decides to follow Ramon alongwith his two friends. When the actual time comes to leave, Ramon gets cold feet & drops the whole plan of running away from Antartica. Meanwhile, Daddy Mumble comes looking for the kids and stumbles upon another community of Penguins. Eric meets a Star Penguin there who can fly. This is a life-changing discovery for him and he thinks he has finally found his goal. Eric is ready to return with his father but a disaster awaits them back home. Global Warming has left their home in ruins. The entire penguin community is trapped inside a valley of ice-mountains with no way to escape. Daddy Mumble, Eric, Seymour, and the entire spanish Penguin community come to their co-penguins help. How they do it and what all they face is fun to see...
The movie has a very ordinary story but it is perfect for the kids. The 3D effects are excellent and the 3D part is very well utilised especially during the "rescue mission". There are many funny moments here and there and Will the Krill & Bill The Krill are especially the two water-animals who stand-out. The father-son relationship which they try to put forth through Mumble & Eric is really touching. The voice overs for all the charachters are perfect and the ones who will be actually remembered are Robin Williams as Ramon, Sofia Vergera as Carmen and Ava Acres as Eric. The music of the movie is superb and you will really want to tap your feet along with the penguins. The last song is especially good and it actually reminded me of the song- "Having the Time of your life..." from Mamma Mia.
Overall, the movie is like watching a cartoon on Disney Channel, only in 3D. The kids will enjoy this 3D cartoon and will definitely have Happy Feet later...
