About
You may like Happy Feet if you enjoy colorful family animation, musical energy, and an underdog story with a playful tone; Not for you if you want a tightly focused plot or dislike songs, dancing, and a stronger message about fitting in.
Pros: colorful penguins; lively musical numbers; charming dancing | Cons: story feels uneven; drags in places; message gets preachy
