  TAGLINE

WARNING: May Cause Toe-Tapping.

  SUMMARY

Set in Antarctica, the CG comedy--which involves musical and dance elements--follows young Mumble, a musically challenged penguin, with an unusual gift who finds the heart to pursue his dream. Mumble can't sing, but all of the rest of the penguins can. Gloria is the best singer, and she just wants to hear a heart song from him. Each penguin has a heart song. They think something is wrong with him and they send him away.

  QUOTES

Turn to the Penguin next to you and give him a great big hug.

Ladies, please avert your eyes. Cos' I've been known to hypnotize.

ramone

  ROBIN ABOUT HAPPY FEET

"Oh man, it is a blast and he is so much fun because he just lets you rip," Robin said about Miller. "He put me in a room with all these Latino comics and it has been so much fun."
"I play about four different characters: An Argentinean penguin, a big Emperor penguin, and a sea lion, amongst others."

  EXTRA INFO

The non-musical voice work of Wood and Murphy are already recorded (May 2003) and in October 2003 they started recording the songs.

The CGI-animated project will be done in Australia. Animal Logic is ramping up for its biggest assignment ever, serving as the animation production studio for Happy Feet.
