    Perfect cute, up-beat kid movie!

    Happy Feet is a cute movie for kids 4 and up! There is one scene when a leopard seal attacks which may scare young kids, but most 5 or 6 year olds can handle it. The little penguins are so cute and during the movie you will want to move your feet! If you watch it on DVD with the family, you will be up and dancing in no time!

    Not such a happy show

    The show started out pretty cute, but like most movies something mean has to be in it. There is too many scary scenes and depressing scenes in it. You feel sorry for "Happy Feet" the peguin. He goes through so much in the movie. It's an emotional movie.

    Disappointing

    I thought that it had too much smutty innuendo, and was very disappointed. It should have had nothing like that at all, since it is made for young children, and is directed at them.

    A Must See For All Kids Ages 3-12!

    Although this movie is a little scary at times, I recommend it for kids between 3 and 12! Younger than that might get a little scared, and older might get a little bored! Awesome movie! A favorite of my 4 children who can watch TV!

    • Good role models

    Beautiful animation flick of a young misfit penguin coming to almost save the entire penguin population. Lovable themes (who doesn't love a tap dancing penguin) with great animation. Scary scenes may frighten young kids. The movie was around half an hour too long, it could have been cut further down.

    Too stereotypical and sexual for young kids

    Somewhat offended by the stereotypical latino-type penguins and african-american-preacher-type penguin. Overly sexed penguins. Too scary and inappropriate for my 4-year-old son.

    Good theme, some scary parts

    The scene in which a seal attacks the penguin is VERY scary. It is a very mean looking seal with large teeth. The movie has a great message in that everybody has different talents and that you don't have to be just like everybody else.

    Wow, I didn't know penguin love could be so sex-absorbed. Norma-Jean sings "all I need is your body from dusk to dawn." And a bunch of guys try to attract the ladies. Other than that, the movie is just fine.

    Mumble in trouble

    A penguin who's name is Mumble has a problem. He is different than all of the other penguins because he tap dances and everyone else sings!

    WARNING: MESSAGES NOT AS POSOTIVE AS YOU THINK

    WARNING: I have not seen this film. I just need to give everyone a warning about it, and this is the only way I can think to do so. All parents who love the "posotive message" watch this review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xYdxgUryPg&feature=related Think about that for a while.

    Boring for adults, message for kids iffy

    This movie could have used some good editing. I was bored and found it predictable and not very interesting. Even the dance moves were repetitive. Our 4 year old was freaked out by the scary bits and bored in spots, and I'm not sure how much the 7 year old got of the message "to be yourself". I didn't care for the sexual innuendo, nor for the blatant stereotyping of Latinos. Lots of the references will go over kids' heads. It made fun of religion, which I didn't mind, but some will find offensive. The message about humans damaging the food chain seemed forced and tangential to the story. There are better movies out there.

    You suckers won't face the facts about pollution

    kids should learn that humans are ruining yhis bueatiful natural world, and you scream CENSOR!!CENSOR! Whenever some thing true about that comes up. This cute movie brings awarness to even kids, and they are the ones who you will leave the world to, after all. You are ruining their (and my!) world, so they should know that, and the CHANGE STARTS WITH US!!

    ATTN:DO NOT LET YOUNG KIDS SEE!!

    I went with my daughter 14 year old to go see "Happy Feet", and we the movie theater compleatly shock at how bad it was! I could not believe how much sex related stuff is in it.We were sitting in the theater saying to ourselves "Don't say it, Don't say it!" Thankfully though, they did not put the word "sex" in it. I was very upset because it is a cute movie! I can't believe they actuall made this movie for children... If you are going to see it(moms/dads) be sure to see it first, then let your kid watch it....Very, Very upseting...
