SnoopyStyle Mumble the penguin and Gloria have a son Erik. All the penguins are now dancing but Erik is struggling to get the hang of it. All around them, the ice is melting. Erik and his friends Bodicea and Atticus goes off to follow Ramon (Robin Williams). They arrive at Adélie-Land led by The Mighty Sven who can fly and is actually a puffin. Sven and Lovelace survived an oil slice to be rescued by humans. They escaped to rule the Adélie penguins. Mumble goes and retrieves the three little guys. However a giant upheaval blocks off and traps all the Emperor penguins. Meanwhile, there is a couple of krills (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon) trying to find their place in the world.It is loud. It is brash. It's even more colorful than the first one. However the story is a rambling mess. They're trying to incorporate human climate change, have people, other animal characters and even introduces a side story about krills. It's too much and leaves a story without cohesion. Having Brad Pitt and Matt Damon as krill friends may be funny on paper, but it's tough to realize that it is actually Pitt and Damon. The voice work isn't unique enough to make that connection. It probably needs a lot of inside modern references to make that connection. Although they provide some interesting comedy.

kenchu Stunning visuals and beautiful animation, but the story is flimsy and incoherent. Half an hour in it still doesn't quite know which direction to go.Happy Feet Two has some good moments. I really enjoyed the part when Sven was introduced. I thought the film would revolve around him and Erik more. It's obvious Erik adores Sven, while being upset with his father. That's a perfect foundation for a good story, but this direction is never really explored. Instead the film shifts its focus entirely when the huge ice sheet imprisons the other emperor penguins. I thought that was odd.What's even odder are the krill. The film spends so much time on them, yet they never really come into contact with any character of importance. What was the point having them at all? It just adds to the film's lack of direction.I was disappointed in this sequel. It feels like the story has so many fundamental problems that should have been easily spotted during the drafting phase. It's a mystery to me how they decided to go with this. What a waste of excellent animation and image quality.

benitobananas-1 This is a really nice movie - with lovable characters, great voice (Robin Williams is hilarious as Ramon) acting, good animation and music.The story is sweet, and I have to say my 2 yr old boy can't get enough. I've now seen the beginning of the movie at least 5 times, and it's still enjoyable.No idea why it's only got a 5.8 rating here. I'm giving it a 10 to bump it up a bit.If you've got a young boy, I guarantee he'll love it - and you'll be entertained yourself.

Michael O'Keefe This is a cheery and positive sequel to the Oscar-winning HAPPY FEET. The acclaimed tap-dancing penguin Mumble(voice of Elijah Wood)and Gloria(voice of Pink)have started a family of their own. Erik(voice of Ava Acres)is a bit shy and lacking confidence because he hasn't found his rhythm and footing among his peers. The young Erik attempts to runaway and places his admiration in The Mighty Sven(voice of Hank Azaria), who can fly. Mumble starts a trek to find his son, while their Antarctic homeland becomes threatened. All is not lost; for it will take the entire Emperor Penguin nation to pull together and dance in unison to save their world...and Erik is proud to be part of the effort. Other voices you may recognize: Sofia Vergara, Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Jeffrey Garcia, Johnny A. Sancez and Brad Pitt. Kudos to director George Miller.
